Section 4: r: Text AppreciationThis essay is definitely categorized as a piece of literature in the full and deep sense, for with its unique beauty and charm it succeeds in cultivating and fostering special feelings and attitudes towards Oxford among the readers. There are three elements making the writing highly literary. The first is the author s effort to create a general impression of Oxford upon the readers, rather than present accurate detailed facts. The second element is the romantic atmosphere the author creates. The third is uplifting inspiration as advocated by neo-classicists. On Page 59 of the textbook, several examples of these elements have been given. Can you give another three examples in the text that illustrate the three elements1) An example of creating a general impression of Oxford upon the readers rather than presenting accurate detailed facts to them can be found in Paragraph 3: I' remember myself, as achild, visiting Oxford, and thinking that some of the buildings were almost shamefully ruinous of aspect; now that I am wiser I know that we have in these battered and fretted palace-fronts a kind of beauty that f川s the mind with an almost despairing sense of loveliness, till the heart aches with gratitude, and thrills with the desire to proclaim the glory of the sight aloud. ”2) An example of the romantic atmosphere the author creates can be found in Paragraph 4: “that give a glimpse and a hint—no more—of a fairy-land of shelter and fountains within.3) An example of uplifting inspiration can be found in Paragraph 7: " the ideals that may not make for immediate national greatness, but which, if delicately and faithfully nurtured, hold out at least a hope of affecting the intellectual and spiritual life of the world.”Section 5: e: Consolidation ActivitiesLanguage Work1.
