Working from home can often mean you develop some guilty pleasures when it comes to your television viewing habits. My current guilty pleasure is Father Brown, starring the wonderful Mark Williams as GK Chesterton's crime solving vicar. The current series is the fifth for the unlikely sleuth, who has solved a whole host of crimes
MAN: Well done! You look happy and very refreshed. I even learned that lately you've been resting too much to enjoy what you're doing more. MAN 2: Indeed. It seems that I am one of the lucky ones who, thanks to CHAT GPT, managed to make their profession a hobby.
This past Sunday, I attended the last day of the Macau Food Festival. At sunset, I noticed a great gray heron circling in the sky and managed to snap a few photos. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my zoom lens and this series was the best I could do. Great gray herons remind me of Pterodactyls. They are a close relative of the great blue herons of North America I grew up with.
Constant exposure to violent news, economic struggles, political chaos, and social media comparison contribute significantly to the anxiety experienced by Millennials and Gen Zs. The relentless stream of negative media, financial pressures, instability in politics, and the constant comparison on soc

from: http://doctor-treat.livejournal.com/66987.html New: See videos applying the pentad at this blog post! Kenneth Burke's pentad (shown above) takes the simplistic who, what, when, where, why and how to a whole new level. Why? Not only does the pentad answer all of these questions (agency = how and purpose = why), but the lines connecting the aspects of the pentad also represent ratios. The ratios of scene to agent, for example, shows one those two aspects of the pentad limit and shape each other. According to Burke, scene was the main aspect for consideration, as time and place shapes many of the choices and methods available to characters (agents). Burke outlines the pentad in Grammar of Motives, and Blakesley shows how the ratios of the pentad can be used to achieve different perspectives in his Elements of Dramatism. Both are woth reading, and Blakesley is a good introduction to Burke's rhetorical theories in general as the book seems designed for an undergraduate rhetoric course. My sophomores did a pentad analysis with their outside reading novel. They had to choose two ratios to study in more depth. Also, they had to extend each aspect of the pentad by discussing a type of figurative language or other literary element best revealed through this aspect. For example, types of conflict may fit well under plot while elements of characterization fit well under agent. They enjoyed this project quite a bit, and this allows for quite a bit of differentiation because the students choose the book, the elements, and the ratios. I checked in on their progress at various times, and we practiced using the pentad with short pieces in groups and individually. The pentad can be used in a short, simple way to analyze a situation or text, but the pentad has ability to encourage students to study each element in a deeper way.
