"Hot Gates" in the first place a lyric (a popular song), but it also features that make it more than just that. The study guide explains in Unit 1 that the elements of literary texts from reality, grouping them into new combinations, and place in a new relationship; and that this new arrangement a pattern form an original truth of view of the human condition to convey. Important: It's good to outline briefly the theory, but your answer should certainly be a Applications on the text "Hot Gates."

"And then show you how the pattern shape and structure to a conclusion (theme or message). Translation 6-20 It's a lively debate on many fronts.In the African music world there was great discord between the `serious' artists (practitioners of dieAfrikaanse listen song, eg., Where a poem is often transformed into a lyric) and the populeare singers (whose `` Rooirokbokkie'' or ``I keep a Taurus' bags of money but perhaps no great intellectual demands on the listener). Just so you get 'art movies' to `populeare movies (with their own theaters) and one airport literature to `serious' literature. (Can you guess that is air-port literature?) Presumption that `populere art easier, more accessible, less complex and more entertaining.

But also a `serious' philosophical base, so much so that it appears in university courses in philosophy?Or the movie version of `` Much ado about nothing'' (based on the Shakespeare text, certainly not accessible language) that is a highly entertaining experience?Remember that `airport literature is often written by very skilled writers, actually` serious writers under a other pennaam their `Books populare out.The fact is: many traditional boundaries in our day is much more fluid.

Could you in your reading and consideration of `` Hot Gates' see how particular words selected, and are formed on the basis of certain community characteristics and associations?Could you see?And the conclusions show where everything in the text? It may have looked like 'nopnoemrympie music, but I'm sure you had seen many of the characteristics of a `serious' literary text. At the literary qualities we mentioned above, we can at this stage add that this text can almost selfconscious act: see the type words selected and how they are connected (unusual type words, place names, each a `story 'but not on gewonemanier); repetition of words or sounds (you can point out such examples of `` Hot Gates'? there are many); the classification Rules and stanzas; etc..

Study guide 4.1 INTRODUCTION Ever seen the bumper sticker with these words `` It's never too late tohave a happy childhood.'' note? It is usually meant as a joke. Blessing all this, do you think? (Who would have wanted to give you a sticker so? For that blessing?) Do you see how children A leading motive form part 1 so far? (Remember that IS not imotief? Look in study unit 3 to refresh your memory.) In this study unit we build on the afgaandes regarding the focus on children, especially in difficult socio-political situations (war / conflict / forced removals / poverty ...). We have seen that there is often a hopeful element appears in the texts we looked at some degree of restoration at times, although it is not always a complete 'solution' to the problem represents nie.In study unit 4 we have this focus sharper by, alongside the great world wars and conflicts involving South Africa in greater or lesser extent involved, pause at the township uprisings in the 1970's and 1980's, the Freedom (Freedom Charter) of 1955 and armed conflict of the black consciousness groups against the National Party government; and the Anglo-Boer War (1899 1902). Thus involve the holy reigned as lord thousands of ideology in South Africa in the second half of the twenties century, but also the war that twentieth century ushered us and a tremendous toll in human lives and suffering claimed. This war's eeufeesis recently commemorated and anew 'topical'. Children suffering is still usually in the spotlight in this study unit. Our title above might sound a bit too playful as a `umbrella 'for sulkeernstige business? It depends.As I understand it, blessing `` It's never too late omgelukkige childhood usually have'' (with an adult) something like: `` It's never too late if you, as an adult, something from your childhood again want to experience, oran experience that you missed, will overtake or recycled.'' It's something lost but reclamation And that's what we study unit 4, as in the previous ones, will try to show. We use a lot of texts from these periods to build the whole picture, and this time specifically look at the genre poetry Please respond, albeit temporarily, the Dutch singer / songwriter Stef Bos (2003:58) distinction between There is a difference between a lyric and a poem and you must careful weesom the two together - it can easily sound pretentious. A poem has a greater intensity in language because you can read it and determine your own pace of understanding. But a song is over in three or four minutes and you need to be careful with too many metaphors or poetic techniques. What do you think Stef Bos right? A `fee 'text as `` Hot Gates' Diploma is a lyric because it primary meant to be sung, or start moving us in the field of poetry? 4.2 Ingrid Jonker AS ICON `` Thandiwe of Khayalethu Camp'' in study unit 3, `` child'' (Ingrid Jonker) in study unit 4 is the text that we have a discussion of basic structural elements and techniques to connect. The full title of this poem `` The child who was shot dead by soldiers at Nyanga'' but far show further shortly thereafter as `` child.'' It's a written text which there have been many, many occasions cited was set, which is dramatized, written, translated. We probably feel it's a well-known text, written by an equally famous poet actually cult figure or sort icon Ingrid Jonker. A cult figure is a figure that religious manner honored by masses of people. an Icon is a

What other characteristics Plath and Jonker, according to this article, common? (2) above articles and Meteler camp's 2003 biography, like in a sense the 'phenomenon' Ingrid Jonker `current '. Why do you reach some writers / artists and other public personalities, sometimes cult status? Think of movie stars like James Dean, Marilyn Monroe Princess Diana. What do they have in common? Read newspaper article `` Immortal eleven `there's something of Ingrid in each of our author'' by Stephanie Nieuwoudt the reader (Meteler camp's book Ingrid Jonker picture of a poets life ACTIVITY 4.4 (1) Read the entire text of `` child''. This time looking at the shape of it, how it was printed on the page and other things that stand out for you. Its outward form compared to that of `` Song of the children'' (study unit 1).
