Specifically, you will need to identify one or more critical concepts and ideas that have informed both your writing and thinking during the course of the semester. You will then need to briefly reflect on how you have marshaled a specific concept(s) or idea(s) in your essays, in your reflections and in your discussion of the issues we have considered. Lastly, discuss your favorite passage from Toni Morrison’s novel The Bluest Eye as it relates to the concept(s) you have identified. This critical section focusing on Morrison’s novel needs to be about a third of your paper or 1-2 pages in length.

Third Essay: Learning to Write about Difference READING : Rereading America , from chapter five: Parrillo, “Causes of Prejudice” Fredrickson, “Models of American Ethnic relations: A Historical Perspective” Harris and Carbado, “Loot or Find: Fact or Frame?” Kaplan, “Barack Obama: “Miles Traveled, Miles to Go” CONTEXT : Making arguments in our lives usually means persuading an audience; often it means, if it is a real argument, addressing a group that is not completely open to hearing and understanding our point of view. This assignment will address two issues: · Building an argument using convincing textual evidence · Writing in order to persuade an unsympathetic argument THE ASSIGNMENT : Chapter 5 in Rereading America addresses the history and present realities of the tensions that have surrounded, and still surround, racial and ethnic differences in the United States. We can broaden the range of this topic to include areas of class, sexual orientation, religion, gender, and political affiliation, at the least. Each of these categories, including race, are populated by groups we could call “others”—groups that both are seen by the majority culture as being somehow “outside” and are viewed by the majority culture with a degree of suspicion. In a four-and-a-half to five page, double-spaced, 12-point typeface essay, argue for how some of the ideas in TWO of the essays in chapter 5 of Rereading America apply to ONE of these groups of “others” of your choosing. Define the group carefully. Write to an audience who would doubt the validity of your topic, the book’s texts, and your argument. If you choose to write about an “other” that is defined by race or ethnicity, be specific in naming this group (e.g., Korean, or mixed-race, or Persian). For example, I might take the arguments in Harris and Carbado’s essay and apply them to similar thought patterns I see in Orange County about people whom the majority culture in the OC might consider “others”—those out of the cultural mainstream. Perhaps I would select French people as my group of others. I could talk about how Orange Countians see French speaking people suspiciously—people who spend too much time thinking about food. This would be a fairly silly paper, but I could nonetheless choose this topic. IMPORTANT ADVICE : Read all four essays and the discussion board entries on the essays. Try choosing the focus of your essay by writing about ideas from the essays that strongly affect you; don’t start out with a particular group in mind. Once you have identified interesting ideas, then think about a group of “others.” AUDIENCE : Each of the assigned essays from Rereading America for this assignment are written for audiences that likely will not agree with the respective writer’s ideas. Note the following areas in both the essays you read, and in constructing your own essays: · Tone—how does the writer decide to present these issues to a potentially unsympathetic a.

Essay Instructions: Literary Analysis Instructions for the Literary Analysis Essay (English 1302 Online) Literary Analysis In this essay you should combine your practice responding and analyzing short stories with support derived from research. So far, in the discussion boards, we have practiced primarily formal analysis. Now I want you to practice "joining the conversation." In this essay you will write a literary analysis that incorporates the ideas of others. The trick is to accurately present ideas and interpretations gathered from your research while adding to the conversation by presenting your own ideas and analysis. You will be evaluated, in part, on how well you use external sources. I want to see that you can quote, paraphrase and summarize without plagiarizing. Remember, any unique idea must be credited, even if you put it in your own words. Choose one of the approaches explained in the "Approaches to Literary Analysis" located at the bottom of this document. Each approach will require research, and that research should provide the context in which you present your own ideas and support your thesis. Be sure to properly document your research. Review the links in the "Writing about Literature" tab as these will help guide you. While I am asking you to conduct outside research, do not lose sight of the primary text to which you are responding---the story! Your research should support your interpretations of the story. Be sure that your thesis is relevant to the story and that you quote generously from the story. Purpose: critical analysis, writing from sources Length: 5 pages, approx 1500 words Documentation: Minimum of 5 sources required. Documented in MLA format. (Note: review the material in "finding and evaluating sources" to help you choose relevant and trustworthy sources.) Choose from the following short stories, all located in the folder located in this unit. A Perfect Day for a Bananafish The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber The Wall The Swimmer The Lesson At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers The Bound Man The Birthmark For Esme... with Love and Squalor Below are some examples. I do not require you to choose one of these topics. They are just here to give you an idea of the type of approaches that will work for this essay. 1. Philosophical analysis: How do the stories by Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus reflect the philosophy of existentialism? 2. Socio/cultural analysis: What opinion about marriage and gender roles does Hemingway advance in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber"? 3. Historical analysis: What social dilemmas faced by African Americans in the 1960s might have inspired Toni Cade Bambara to write "The Lesson"? 4. Biographical analysis: What events in Salman Rushdie's life might have influenced the events in "At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers"? 5. Psychological analysis: How is John Cheever's "The Swimmer" a metaphor for the psychology of .

Paper Format: Approximately 1,500 words, typed, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, twelve-point font Prompt: Read and analyze the primary secondary documents on the U.S. Civil Rights Movement discussed in this course. Your thesis should address the following two questions: What were the goals of the civil rights movement that developed in the 1950s and 1960s and why did this black freedom struggle assume the characteristics that it did? Your essay should analyze primary documents on the injustices the movement sought to redress, including the diverse motivations that inspired individual participation & interpret the strategies that guided organized activism. You should also consider the interpretation posited in the secondary source, At the Dark End of the Street, in your analysis of the primary documents of the civil rights movement. Your essay should answer these questions by providing a detailed presentation of primary & secondary evidence in support of your thesis. Your thesis should be focused on the question identified in BOLD print above. Conventions of Historical Writing: The following components are essential to a historical essay: 1) An introductory paragraph that establishes the scope of the argument – including the specific time period, geographic area, & demographics of the group of people you’ll discuss. 2) A thesis statement (located at the end of the introduction) in which you establish a specific position that you will defend in the body of your essay. 3) A detailed presentation of evidence to support your thesis derived from both lecture & course readings, with particular emphasis on primary documents. Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that advances your argument and is supported, in the body of the paragraph, by at least one primary source. 4) A concluding paragraph that restates your argument and explains its significance.

1. In a well-developed paragraph of 6-8 sentences, write a paragraph in which you answer one of the prompts below. Please incorporate a quotation from both the play and the language from the critical methodology text 2. SELECT A 2nd PROMPT TO RESPOND TO IN A WELL-DEVELOPED PARAGRAPH OR 6-8 SENTENCES. Please see TOPIC OPTIONS below. Please review the overview of critical methodologies (BELOW) For more information on Critical Methodologies, please read the introduction to the Critical Methodologies Overview of Critical Methodologies Imagine 3 pairs of glasses, and each pair of glasses represents a different “lens” through which the wearer of the glasses can view the world. Same world...different view based on the color of the lens. Critical methodologies (also known as critical approaches) function in the same way. In a nutshell, critical methodologies are different LENSES through which a reader can examine a particular text (short story, poem, play, novel, etc.). Alison Booth and Kelly J. Mays, the editors of our textbook, classify critical approaches into four major categories: Critical approaches that emphasize the text, Critical approaches that emphasize the source, Critical approaches that emphasize the receiver, and Critical approaches that highlight historical and ideological criticism. Each major category houses a number of critical approaches. Emphasis on the Text - This approach limits the consideration of outside elements- author background, social factors, etc. New Criticism - does not take into consideration source (author) or reader (you) Structuralism Poststructuralism Deconstruction Narrative Theory Emphasis on the Source - This approach takes into consideration the author and author’s intention in writing the work. Biographical Criticism Example: Lorraine Hansberry’s personally experience fighting restrictive covenants Example: Toni Morrison’s own journey of racial self-discovery in the South Psychoanalytic Criticism (Freudian, Jungian and Myth, and Lacanian) Freudian - our human psyches share similar histories) Jungian - the concept of the universal conscious/collective unconscious universal patterns and forms of human experiences known as “archetypes.” examples: rebirth story, hero’s quest, doubling, etc. Northrop Frye - archetypal criticism Big question: Are there “shared, fundamental truths” that cross the boundaries of race, culture, nationality? Examples - Flood myth Emphasis on the Receiver -The emphasis of this approach is the way in which the reader “receives,” interprets, and appreciates the text. Reader-Response Criticism Historical and Ideological Criticism - This approach takes into consideration the historical and cultural context(s) of a work. Marxist Criticism Feminist Criticism Gender Studies and Queer Theory African American and Ethnic Literary Studies New Historicism Cultural Studies Postcolonial .

ENG125: Introduction to Literature How to Ask an Open-Ended Question There are two ways of asking questions: close-ended and open-ended. Close-ended questions · Can be answered with either a single word or a short phrase such as “yes” or “no.” · Are easy to answer and provide no details or analysis. · Do not encourage in-depth or long-range thinking. Open-ended questions · Are likely to receive an in-depth, detailed answer. · Ask the respondent to think and reflect on what he or she has read. · Encourage critical thinking that leads the respondent to think beyond the reading assignment. · Usually begin with “how,” “why,” or “what.” Examples: Close-Ended Open-Ended Do you get along well with your supervisor? How do you view your relationship with your supervisor? Who will you vote for in this election? What do you think about the two candidates in this election? Did you like that story we read for this week? What did you think of the story we read for this week? Did the protagonist act unwisely in the story? Why did the protagonist make the choices she did? Did you understand Macbeth? What were the consequences of Macbeth’s actions? General Open-Ended Question Template · What do you think about? · In what way does the story/poem? · How would you interpret the character’s______? · How did the ending? · What was the problem? · Why did the story/poem ? · Why did the character react? · What did it mean when? · How does the symbolism? · What kind of conflict? A Brief Overview of Literary Criticism Woman Reading Book in a Landscape, Camille Corot Literary Critical Theory is a tool that helps you find meaning in stories, poems and plays. There are many different ways to interpret a novel or short story. When we read literature, we do so to learn more about: ● The human condition ● The experience of loss and death ● The structure of power in society and how it is implemented (including the issues that surround race and gender). ● The psychology of characters and individuals in general ● The sociology and history of cultures that produce specific pieces of literature Literary Theory helps us discover the things listed above in the books and stories we read. So how do you use theory to read a book? Before exploring, in brief, different theories, it is important to develop a reading strategy that will help you form ideas. You should keep a reading notebook and write down ideas and information as you read. Here is a checklist of things to notice: ● Title. How does it pertain to the story? Does it symbolize events or people in the story? ● Narration: Who is telling the story? How does the narrator approach the topic? ● Subject: What is the basic situation? What is happening to the characters and how are they reacting to events? ● Mood: What is the mood of the story, i.e. the emotional background? H ...

Essay #2 addresses some topic in the broad scope of Transcendentalism. Essay #2 has similar parameters -- length/outside source requirements, drafting process -- as Essay #1. You are always free to develop your own topic approach within the Transcendentalism topic. Some suggestive options: 1) Analyze Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" in light of a contemporary example or figure or incident in the tradition of American civil disobedience. 2) Analyze the persuasive and rhetorical strategies of one of the transcendental pieces (or King's "Letter") that we have read. You might look at issues of audience, style, emotional vs./and rational appeal, appeals to history/tradition or rejection of history/tradtion, metaphoric style, tone and so forth. If you deem them successful, why/how do they succeed in arguing their points? What might be points of counterargument or criticism or weaknesses in their approach? Does it work as a piece of argument/writing? 3) Pick one (or several if you feel it's appropriate) key concepts or quotes from a work (or several works) and discuss the concept/quote in terms of how it has evolved or put it in larger context. How have these words taken form in our laws, practice, literature, or culture? Where are the gaps between the great ideals of these writers' words and the reality of their times and/or ours? e.g. How might MLK (in light of his "Letter") feel about the society and civil rights situation we see today? 4) You could pick one, two, or three key themes from any of the works and discuss how the text fleshes out these themes and why they are important to our understanding of the period, or the particular writer, or to transcendentalism as a movement, or to American tradition or literature and so forth. 5) You could pick a theme which runs through several of the texts (for example, something about the role or nature of the individual) and trace it through its different configuration and representations. Essay length: 4-5 pages -- again, I'm always more concerned with minimum than limiting any maximum length. Include outside critical sources. MLA documentation .

My friend liked her class, but she felt that the teacher was very cold. She said the teacher just taught grammar and never asked about the students’ families or talked about her own. A man commented one day that the reason there are so many single women in Canada is that they are lazy. His female friend was surprised and insulted by his attitude. A young woman had recently arrived in Canada ready to start a new life. She found the weather a little cold but still enjoyed wearing the same style she wore at home—tight skirts and tight tops that had low neck- lines. After about a month, she began to notice people staring at her. She thought they were looking at her because she was a foreigner. Then one day someone told her that only prostitutes dressed that way. She felt angry and insulted. Next choose from the following cultural orientations and themes as they relate to the critical incidents (can be more than one). Explain how your chosen critical incident relates to one or more cultural orientation(s) and theme(s) in your report: Universalism/Particularism Power Distance Hierarchy/Equality Individualism/Collectivism Space: Private/Public Face Communication: High/Low Context Communication: formal/ informal Communication: direct/indirect Communication: non-verbal Competitiveness Thinking Learning Style Interpersonal Distance and Touch Time Death/dying Cheating Customs Knowledge Teacher/student Relationship building Discipline Apology Work ethic Conflict Respect Parenting Negotiating Gender roles Assignment Requirements You will want to conduct your own.

BejayCastaneto

Research Paper Assignment Sheet For your third paper assignment, you will use a primary source in an introductory paragraph to introduce your topic and develop a thesis. Then, you will support and develop your thesis claim by using outside research (secondary sources) to expand, illustrate, and/or supplement that claim. Like the other two papers that you've written this semester, your research essay must be an academic paper that provides an analysis of texts and develops an argument regarding an assigned topic. You are not writing an informative report but must instead develop an argument to support your thesis. In your research paper, you will need to discuss one of the topics that you'll find in the file that is attached below. The topics are taken from Topics for Discussion: Unit 4 , so you should begin your exploration of them as you post responses for those discussion topics. Follow the Paper Plan & Development Strategy from Writing Your Research Paper to develop and organize your essay into an introduction (one introductory paragraph), body (multiple body paragraphs), and conclusion (one concluding paragraph). This essay should be 4-5 pages, not counting the Works Cited page (one-inch margins, typed and double-spaced). You will need to use MLA documentation (see MLA Documentation for Research Papers). Be sure to cite all quotations, paraphrases, and references to outside sources in proper MLA style. Include a Works Cited page as the final page of your paper (see pages 356-398 in your grammar handbook for tips and reminders). You must use 3 secondary sources (found through your research) along with one primary source (from the assigned topics). Secondary sources can be found using TTC's online databases (Infotrac, Biography Resource Center, Literature Resource Center, etc.). Topics The following topics will give you ideas for getting started, but you will need to narrow them to develop your thesis because the topics are broad. You will need to decide what you think about the topic you choose and then develop an argument. Personal experience is not acceptable as evidence in this assignment. Topic I Individual Liberty VS Social Equality What is the relationship between individual liberty and social equality? When-if ever-should one person's individual rights be denied for the social good? In your introductory paragraph, you should discuss Democracy in America to set up this topic. In the body of your paper, you will need to examine a current issue-smoker's rights, gun control, drug testing, or affirmative action, for example-to discuss this issue. Make sure, however, that your paper is not about that issue but instead relates that issue to the topic concerning individual rights and social equality. Topic II The Ideal America Vs the Real America Discuss the relationship between the ideal America and the real America . First, in your introductory paragraph, you should write about the Declaration of Independence.

Kansai International Airport Opened on 4 September 1994, the airport serves as a hub for several airlines such as All Nippon Airways, Japan Airlines, and Nippon Cargo Airlines. It is the international gateway for Japan's Kansai region , which contains the major cities of Kyoto , Kobe, and Osaka. Other Kansai DOMESTIC FLIGHTS fly from the older but more conveniently located Osaka International Airport in Itami , or from the newer Kobe Airport. The airport had been deeply in debt, losing $560 million in interest every year. Airlines had been kept away by high landing fees (about $7,500 for a Boeing 747 ), the second most expensive in the world after Narita's. In the early years of the airport's operation, excessive terminal rent and UTILITY BILLS for on-site concessions also drove up operating costs: some estimates before opening held that a cup of coffee would have to cost US$10. [19] Osaka business owners pressed the government to take a greater burden of the construction cost to keep the airport attractive to passengers and airlines. [20] On 17 February 2005, Chubu Centrair International Airport opened in Nagoya , just east of Osaka. The opening of the airport was expected to increase competition between Japan's international airports. Despite this, passenger totals were up 11% in 2005 over 2004, and international passengers increased to 3.06 million in 2006, up 10% over 2005. Adding to the competition was the opening of Kobe Airport, less than 25 km (16 mi) away, in 2006 and the lengthening of the runway at Tokushima Airport in Shikoku in 2007. The main rationale behind the expansions was to compete with Incheon International Airport and Hong Kong International Airport as a gateway to Asia, as Tokyo area airports were severely congested. Kansai saw an 5% year-on-year increase in international traffic in summer 2013, largely supported by low-cost carrier traffic to Taiwan and Southeast Asia overcoming a decrease in traffic to China and South Korea . [21] The airport authority was allotted 4 billion yen in government support for fiscal year 2013, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Ministry of Finance have agreed to reduce this amount in stages through fiscal year 2015, although local governments in the Kansai region have pressed for CONTINUED subsidies. [22] Kansai has been marketed as an alternative to Narita Airport for international travelers from the Greater Tokyo Area . By flying to Kansai from Haneda Airport and connecting to INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS there, travelers can save the additional time required to get to Narita: up to one and a half hours for many residents of Kanagawa Prefecture and southern Tokyo. .

Journal: Evaluating Resources Personal experience and perception lend a great deal to addressing a social issue. However, as individuals, there are limits to one’s knowledge on any topic. The ability to conduct research on a social issue allows for a more comprehensive perspective on multiple aspects of an issue, insight into the communities impacted, and lessons learned for other like-minded groups who have done similar work. In this Journal Assignment, you explore the concept Discovery as it relates your group's research on a social topic. To prepare for this Assignment: Consider the assigned readings from the first 3 weeks of this course. Review the explanation of DEEP-C Model General Education Learning Outcome “Discovery” in the Syllabus. Consider “ Discovery” as it relates to the work you are doing in this course. Bearing in mind the amount of information that is readily available in current times, think about how people involved in social movements of the past gained information on the social issue and related topics. The Assignment: Write a 2- to 3-paragraph journal entry in which you address the following questions: What appropriate sources of information will be used to support your group's claims about your topic? At this early stage in the process of investigating your topic, what advantages do you see in conducting research to discover various factors associated with the topic? In what ways does the ability to conduct research strengthen your group's approach? General Education Learning Outcomes (The DEEP-C Model) Discovery : Students will locate and identify appropriate sources of information using multiple sources and methods, including bibliographic, textual, experiential, and experimental research. Evaluation: Students will critically assess texts and arguments in multiple forms and contexts using quantitative and qualitative logic, the scientific method, ethics, and pragmatics. Expression: Students will effectively and ethically communicate information and opinions verbally and nonverbally using written, oral, behavioral, and visual methods adapted for diverse audiences and purposes. Perspective : Students will be able to articulate the consistency and flexibility of knowledge as it is experienced across time, space, and culture. Change : Students will articulate how their ability to discover, evaluate, and express ideas from different perspectives is instrumental in their progress toward achieving personal goals and effecting positive social change. .
