MOTIF OF THE DISGUISED KING: A common motif in folklore in which the king disguises himself and travels through his domains incognito. Examples include Prince Hal/Henry V in Shakespeare's plays, in which the king dons a cloak to obscure his features and then walks among his troops to converse with them and get a sense of their morale before battle. In Greek epics, Odysseus returns to his kingdom of Ithaca in disguise and skulks among the suitors to gather intelligence toward the end of The Odyssey. In The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn is the rightful king of the west, but he remains disguised as the homeless and impoverished Strider. See also the , below.

Aragorn has many of the marks of a mythical "hidden king" and true hero. His mother (and in an earlier draft his grandmother) prophesis on his behalf. At moments of drama a white flame appears on his brow. He loves a princess of the Elves. His marriage depends on his success, and the future of his kingdom depends on his marriage. He is supported and advised by a powerful otherworldly woman, Galadriel, and he carries tokens of his heritage and destiny (Andúril, the Elfstone). The last sapling of the White Tree of Gondor flowers to herald his marriage, and he is crowned in Gondor by Gandalf, the hierophant in the story. . . . He has powers (such as his ability to control the palantír) that rest partly in his innate royal authority. (see "Aragorn" entry in Drout 23)

English 109 approaches the introductory study of the English language with three principal objectives in mind. Students will acquire an elementary vocabulary for the analysis of word-formation and semantics, gain a basic knowledge of the origin and development of Present Day English vocabulary, and explore critical approaches to the use and abuse of the language as they experience it in their daily lives. While the course is intended to engage the non-specialist student with no previous exposure to the study of language, it lays a foundation for subsequent study not only of the structure and history of English, but of composition and rhetoric, as well as linguistics.

Students who achieve a C+ in English 12 or English Literature 12 satisfy the prerequisite for ENGL 105. For prerequisites for other first year English courses, please refer to individual course listings.

Students lacking specific prerequisites for the 100-level English courses may take the Composition Placement Test (CPT). This assessment will assist in the placement, as well as selection, of an appropriate level of English. Students achieving a score of 48 on the CPT may enter any of the 100-level English courses. Students achieving a score of 41-47 should register for ENGL 099.

Students achieving less than 41, and whose first language is English should contact the Upgrading and University Preparatory (UUP) department for appropriate placement.

Students achieving less than 41, and whose first language is not English should contact the English as a Second Language (ESL) department for appropriate placement.

Note: An LPI score of 30/40 (Level 5) on the essay section is considered equivalent to a CPT score of 48; a score of 24-26 (Level 4) is equivalent to a CPT score of 41.

Lectures will provide background for the readings and explicate them where appropriate, while attempting to develop a coherent overall context that incorporates philosophical and social perspectives on the recurrent questions: what is literature, how is it produced, how can it be understood, and what is its purpose?"
