Synthesis of Course Material 3: Literature

I'm actually sorta sad I couldn't put in a clever title for this one.

Anyways, we have these wonderful lectures and powerpoints over literature itself, because you need to understand the stuff you're writing about. Theres so much it that its hard to know where to start. I guess I'll go with the king and start with DIDLS.

We learned about DIDLS but also the sublevels of DIDLS, there are connotations and denotations to the language and diction used, so many inlocking layers of how an author can establish a certain effect.We're also learned about comedies and tragedies. Comedies started out the beginning of the year, we learned why we laughed, how an author can get us to laugh while still retaining literary merit (it's all high comedy) while throwing in comic relief (toliet humor) as well. There was also this confusing thing called Theatre of the Absurd that i didn't quiet get too well too.
We learned about this great circle that encompassed a majority of the literary work, where a character in a novel may start at a high place and fall, and depending on where he landed, told you what sort of work it was, a tragedy if he landed at the bottom of the circle, if he started low and ended low it's irony, so on. And of course there was tragedy. It's a tricky thing, to call something a tragedy because, really, it may end in a character's death or the gruesome scene where he is mortally wounded but actually, theres the emotional revelation behind it that isn't all that bad. Thats what a tragedy is, not a story with a bad ending but a story with an ending thats realistic tied in with an epiphany.
