Literature With A Message: Protest & Propaganda, Satire & Social Comment
2015
Computer Files, Websites
This program analyzes literature written for a purpose--to rally support for causes, to satirize human folly, to protest injustice, to encourage idealism and spiritual rebirth. It examines different types of literary propaganda in the Horatio Alger stories, the wartime speeches of Winston Churchill and the story "Flowers For Algernon." Literature of protest is illustrated by passages from "Cry The Beloved Country" and poems by Stephen Crane, ee. cummings and Judith Viorst. Satire is examined in "Gulliver's Travels" and "Animal Farm." Social comment in modern drama is seen in Arthur Miller's "Death Of A Salesman."
