Quotation Mingle

In a few minutes we are going to read an important selection from a book. To help you better understand it I have prepared an investigative “preview” by cutting out 8 sentences of the longer piece.

If you could see all the sentences other people have you might be able to figure out what the whole piece is about.

Try to compare your quote with at least 10 other people’s sentences

Based on what you saw and heard during the mingle,

What do you think the passage is going to be about?

What time and place are depicted?

Any guesses about who wrote this?

Excerpt from the Soldier’s Heart by Paulsen

1. If Charley survived the war – which we cannot tell from the passage – how do you think he would do?

2. Would he be able to go right back to normal life, or do you think he might have had to struggle with his memories?

3. Do you think he might suffer from post traumatic stress disorder? Do you know what that is?

4. After reading definition – Do you think Charley would or would not suffer from this condition? Try to base your prediction on facts in the text.

Here’s how the Mayo Clinic Defines itPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.Many people who go through traumatic events have difficulty adjusting and coping for a while, but they don't have PTSD — with time and good self-care, they usually get better. But if the symptoms get worse or last for months or even years and interfere with your functioning, you may have PTSD.Getting effective treatment after PTSD symptoms develop can be critical to reduce symptoms and improve function.

SONNET 29

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd,Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth bringsThat then I scorn to change my state with kings.

SONNET 116

Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration finds,Or bends with the remover to remove:O no; it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;It is the star to every wandering bark,Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

SONNET 130My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;Coral is far more red than her lips' red;If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delightThan in the breath that from my mistress reeks.I love to hear her speak, yet well I knowThat music hath a far more pleasing sound;I grant I never saw a goddess go;My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:   And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare   As any she belied with false compare.
