C. LESSON PROPER

Feminist Approach- informed by feminist theory, or more broadly, by the

politics of feminism. It uses the principles and ideology of feminism to critique the
language of literature. This school of thought seeks to analyze and describe the
ways in which literature portrays the narrative of male domination by exploring
the economic, social, political, and psychological forces embedded within
literature.
Feminist criticism, or gender studies, focuses on the role of women (or
gender) in a literary text. According to feminist criticism, patriarchy, in its
masculine-focused structure, socially dictates the norms for both men and
women. Feminist criticism is useful for analyzing how gender itself is socially
constructed for both men and women. Gender studies also considers how
literature upholds or challenges those constructions, offering a unique way to
approach literature.     

Historical Approach-, also known as the historical-critical method or higher

criticism, is a branch of criticism that investigates the origins of ancient texts to
understand "the world behind the text".
Historical approach is one of the method to analysis literary work in which the
author and the reader comprehend the message of the literary work by
remembering the moment/historic moment a long with the literary work written.

Proposal Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth (Preamble)

We, the peoples, and nations of Earth:

- considering that we are all part of Mother Earth, an indivisible, living community
of interrelated and interdependent beings with a common destiny.
- gratefully acknowledging that Mother Earth is the source of life, nourishment
and learning and provides everything we need to live well.
- recognizing that the capitalist system and all forms of depredation, exploitation,
abuse, and contamination have caused great destruction, degradation, and
disruption of Mother Earth, putting life as we know it today at risk through
phenomena such as climate change.
- convinced that in an interdependent living community it is not possible to
recognize the rights of only human beings without causing an imbalance within
Mother Earth.
- affirming that to guarantee human rights it is necessary to recognize and
defend the rights of Mother Earth and all beings in her and that there are existing
cultures, practices and laws that do so.

3. Write a critique of a Historical selection below:

The Song of Roland Summary

The Song of Roland is considered a chanson de geste, or song of
deeds, that dates from around 1100. French Epic poems like the Song of Roland
were inspired by historical events and celebrated heroic deeds, particularly
military accomplishments from the time of Charlemagne.
The Song of Roland is based on a historically insignificant battle between
Charlemagne's army and Basque forces at Roncesvalles, or Roncevaux in the
eighth century. This conflict was exaggerated and transformed in the epic poem
into an important battle between the Christian army of the Franks under
Charlemagne and Muslim forces, or Saracens, from Spain.
The story begins with peace negotiations between Charlemagne's
representative Ganelon and Marsile, the Saracen king of Saragossa. Ganelon,
however, is angry that his stepson Roland had suggested Ganelon to undertake

 5

the perilous mission to Saragossa. He thus seeks revenge on Roland by

arranging a surprise attack by the Saracens on the rear guard of Charlemagne's
army, which is led by Roland.
Roland's forces are quickly overwhelmed and outnumbered by the
Saracens. Roland is advised by his close friend Olivier to blow his horn, or
oliphant, to summon help and alert Charlemagne of the attack. Roland refuses to
follow the advice of the wise Olivier out of pride. This is a fatal mistake, however,
and the Saracens crush Roland's forces. By the time Roland finally sounds the
horn, it is too late. Charlemagne's army turns back to help, but when they arrive,
they find that Roland, Olivier, and the others lay dead on the battlefield.
Charlemagne avenges their deaths and is eventually victorious over the
Saracens. Charlemagne then captures Bramimonde, the wife of Marsile, and
takes her back to the Frankish capital of Aix where she converts to Christianity.
Ganelon is found guilty of treason and is executed by having each arm and leg
tied to galloping horses.
