1. Dickinson and Whitman are two important poets from the antebellum period. They are very different, both in terms of form (what their poetry looks like on the page) and content. Write a comparison, using poems from the assigned reading, that includes at least three terms defined in the Poetry Lecture in Week 1, as well as the poets’ purpose in writing. What messages are they trying to convey in their poetry? Are they successful? Of the two poets, which one do you prefer and why?
Terms used in lecture:
American Renaissance
(1825-1865)
This period was considered the birth of American literary thought. This “American” voice came about through several individual movements, including Romanticism (which began in Europe but spread to America), Transcendentalism, and Realism.
European Romanticism
(approx. 1800-1850)
This period in European history was essentially a revolt against the ideas of the Age of Enlightenment. Emotions were emphasized (as seen in the poems of the Romantic poets Keats, Byron, Coleridge, Blake, and Shelley). Overall, emphasis was placed on individual expression in art and individual rights in politics. This movement directly influenced the flowering of the first significant American literature. In America, writers of the Romantic period were concerned with what it means to be an American (or an American artist)
American government and political issues the problems of war and slavery
expansionism and immigration individualism and the frontier tradition
nature experimentation in literary form Transcendentalism (1830s and 1840s)
A subset of Romanticism. The power of the individual was stressed, as was a personal connection with nature.
Transcendentalism began as a way of establishing an American literary tradition. Transcendentalist writers sought to separate American literature from traditional European literature. They sought to understand religion and spirituality in terms of their environment. Transcendentalists believed in the power of the individual and that every person had access to a higher power (God). They also believed that people loved freedom, knowledge, and truth. Not surprisingly, many Transcendentalists supported anti-slavery efforts and women’s rights.
Transcendentalists believed that one could transcend or go beyond everyday reality through communion with nature, intuition, and searching inwardly rather than through the doctrines of established religions. One can see these ideas illustrated best in the works of Americans Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Realism
These writers were concerned with everyday life. Their work often depicted the lives of slaves and the poor. It seemed that only the wealthy had the time and freedom to go into nature and concentrate on themselves. Examples of Realists include Kate Chopin, Mark Twain, and Rebecca Harding Davis.
Feminism
Modern feminist criticism emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s out of a sociopolitical movement aimed at the defense of women’s rights. It addressed the need women felt to reinterpret literature, to rewrite history, and to change the power structure that has traditionally defined male and female relationships in patriarchal societies. Like Marxist, African American, and the new historical criticism, the socially oriented perspective of feminist criticism has spread its voice in many directions. Among other things, it has promoted a reevaluation of the Freudian theory of sexual differences, a reassessment of female and male writing, a revision of the role of gender in literature, and a critique of the oppressive rationale of patriarchal ideology.
In her essay “This Sex Which Is Not One,” the feminist critic Luce Irigaray revised Freud’s theory of sex difference, protesting against the view of a woman as a biological version of the male model. In following the assumptions of Jacques Lacan, French feminists have also criticized, among other things, the logic of language that associates positive qualities such as those related to creativity, light, logic, and power with masculinity. Many feminists like Helene Cixous, who tend to draw a relationship between women’s writing and women’s bodies, have also attempted to create a language or a specific kind of women’s writing that refuses participation in the masculine discourse.
Other feminists have promoted a feminist critique of masculine ideology, protesting against the political marginalization women have suffered as blacks, chicanos, Asian Americans, and lesbians. For the feminist critic Catharine R. Stimpson, the defiance of sexual difference, the celebration of sexual difference, and the recognition of differences constitute the three major principles of feminist criticism. Many of the critical efforts of feminists have also been aimed at the study of women’s history and the role of women in literary tradition.
Complementing feminism, lesbian and gay criticism, another by-product of a gender-centered approach, has sparked much recent debate in critical circles. One of its main premises, shaped by a feminist viewpoint, ponders whether lesbians and gays read and write the same way or differently from heterosexuals. (Gillespie, Pipolo, & Fonesca, 2008, p. 979)
New Historicism
The new historicism,or cultural poetics, may be defined as a form of political criticism closely related to Marxist criticism. One of its main goals is to focus on the critical study of power relations, politics, and ideology. For the new historicist critics, such as Stephen Greenblatt, who coined the term new historical in the early 1980s, this criticism displaces the traditional view of history as a discipline committed to an altruistic search for truth and to a faithful reconstruction of the dates and events of the past. Instead, the new historicist perspective advocates a focus on a historical dynamic or a view of history in action. Its aim is to erase the boundaries among disciplines such as literature, history, and the social sciences. The ideas of the French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault (1926-84) seem to inform much of the rationale that new historicism established for the complex relation among language, power, and knowledge.
New historical critics tend to view Shakespeare’s plays as political acts reflecting and shaping the collective codes and beliefs of Shakespeare’s times. New historicists also affirm the reciprocity between the text and the world, which they attempt to rewrite by showing the sociopolitical practices and institutions such as the theater can shape and transform cultural meanings. When considering the relation between text and reader, the new historicists advocate the reciprocity between these two elements, viewing them as dynamic forces interacting with and responding to each other. (Gillespie, Pipolo, & Fonesca, 2008, p. 981)
Psychoanalytic Criticism
Psychoanalytic criticism takes the methods used to analyze the behavior of people in real-life situations and applies them to the dramaticized patterns of human behavior in literature. Overall, it explores some basic assumptions devised by the pioneer of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). Most important among these are Freud’s fundamental ideas about the structure of the human psyche [and] his theory of repression. (Gillespie, Pipolo, & Fonesca, 2008, p. 970).

You have been hired by the board of directors of a rural hospital in the hope that you can convince the staff to upgrade to an overarching electronic HIS (health information system).
Overview: You have been hired by the board of directors of a rural hospital in the hope that you can convince the staff to upgrade to an overarching electronic HIS (health information system).
Background: Aspen Meadows Hospital was founded in the late 1800s to support a growing coal mining industry. Eventually, the town (Small Town, USA) and surrounding area became mostly agriculturally based and the population stabilized at a few thousand people. The hospital has a small emergency room, a surgical center, 25 inpatient beds, a small women’s center, and an outpatient rehabilitation wing. It can handle the vast majority of cases and only occasionally needs to transfer patients to the city hospital, 80 miles north. Both the hospital administrator and the chief medical officer (CMO) have been with the hospital for nearly 30 years. They both have doubts about the need to upgrade.
Current System: In 1995, ahead of the passing of HIPAA, Aspen Meadows Hospital purchased a health information system (HIS) that was supposed to streamline efficiency. It was a disaster. Due to budget restraints at the time, the board only approved minimal programmatic training. The administrator and the CMO felt that they could “learn as they went.” Unfortunately, frustration led to problems, and the entire program (except the billing component) was scrapped when the system collapsed. Hundreds of hours of work and numerous records were lost. Two subsequent attempts to upgrade were met with stiff resistance. The administrator and CMO rallied the staff to maintain status quo and the attempts by the board were dropped.
Present Need: Through HITECH, a government act designed to expand HIT (health information technology) the board was approved for a significant amount of money to upgrade its extremely outdated methods. Additional monies have been secured through the government to maintain the new electronic system well into the foreseeable future. The problem is simply that the board must act now. As a side note, a large hospital system from the city is thinking about opening a small clinic in town to increase its operational footprint. It would represent the first competitor the hospital has ever faced, thus increasing the sense of urgency to upgrade and “get with the times.”
Deliverable Part 1: As the lead consultant on this project, the board has asked you to create the following 10 Slide PowerPoint presentation. The slides will be arranged in this order:
Slide 1: Introduction/Overview
Slide 2: Identify the various types of health and administrative information collected as the typical patient moves through the hospital
Slide 3: Benefits of having an overarching health information system (HIS) as it relates to decision-making
Slide 4: The use of HIS in long-term strategic planning
Slide 5: Potential issues and ramifications if the health information system is not secure or contains poor quality data
Slide 6: Identification and description of the regulatory standards and legislation that guides health information technology systems
Slide 7: Implementation plan/timeline
Slide 8: Potential barriers to implementation and how to address
Slide 9: A summary of the benefits related to the adoption of an overarching HIS
Slide 10: References
Deliverable Part 2: The board has requested that you use the Notes function of the PowerPoint in slides 9 to write no less than 100 words per slide with a narrative of each slide’s contents. This way, should there be a staff member who is unable to attend your presentation, they will be able to receive the same information.
Side note: should you require more than one slide for the information as outlined above, simply label your additional content slide as “(Slide Name) – Continued”.
