Unit 1: Critical Response Essay
Due: Thursday, April 2nd
Choose ONE text to respond to:
· “Only Connect” by William Cronon
· “Faking Cultural Literacy,” by Karl Taro Greenfeld
· “Why Some of Us Don’t Have One True Calling” by Emilie Wapnick
· “Following Your Passion Is Dead” by Michael Bohanes
· “A New Assignment: Pick Books You Like” by Motoko Rich
Purpose:
Learning how to read and respond to another’s arguments responsibly are the preliminary aspects of effective argument. Your purpose in this essay is two-fold: to reflect a clear understanding of the source text and to demonstrate your competence in expressing and organizing your conversation with the text.
Audience:
Assume that your audience is educated and familiar with the source’s topic but has not read the article or watched the TedTalk themselves.
Introduction:
· Context: Begin your paper by familiarizing your audience with the text to which you’re responding. What information does your reader need to know? This includes:
· introducing the author and the essay title (using appropriate punctuation)
· summarizing (5-6 sentences) the essay’s main argument.
· This brief summary should lead into your THESIS, the clear and specific claim you will be asserting and proving in response to the source essay. A good thesis will be focused and will include an essay map that lays out the trajectory of your response. (i.e. the 2-3 distinct points must be proven in order to persuade your readers that your thesis is correct)
· Choose one of the following methods for your response:
1. Agree and Extend (Agree with a difference). Strengthen the argument presented by the essay by engaging with and then extending the reasoning. Beyond agreeing with the essay, make your response worth reading by taking the ideas further by, for example, shifting the context or considering a new angle informed by your own personal experience, attitudes, and observations. Avoid simply summarizing the author’s ideas!
2. Disagree (and explain why). Identify specific assertions in the essay with which you disagree. First, carefully and accurately represent the author’s ideas. Then, explain and support your disagreement.
3. Agree and Disagree Simultaneously (Okay, but). If you find that you both agree and disagree with different aspects of the author’s essay, you can incorporate both into your response. For this method I recommend choosing your points of agreement and disagreement strategically so that your essay is cohesive. Your thesis should clearly reflect the relationship between your agreement and disagreement. Additionally, your thesis should not come across as wishy-washy or unclear.
· Please refer to the “Three Ways to Respond” reading for further explanation and suggestions on how to structure your thesis statement. Remember, a strong thesis statement is the most important basis for a strong essay.

Essay 1: A Response to Literature of the Modernist period.
Objectives
To Lean to Write a Clear and Cohesive Response to Literature
To Learn Rhetorical Strategies: Analysis, Synthesis, Argument, Cause and Effect, Compare and Contrast
To Learn Critical Thinking Skills
To Learn MLA Documentation Style: Integrating quotations; Works Cited
Prompt Introduction
In this second half of our quarter, we have read and discussed multiple texts, theories, and opinions on
both literature and literary analysis, and for this reason, I offer you several choices for your first essay. In
a thesis driven essay of 500 to 750 words, respond to one of the following prompts. You need only the
primary text for this essay, but you may incorporate other stories, manifestos, or critical theory as
additional support. Remember, you can also draw on your own experiences and knowledge to discuss,
explain, and analyze your topic.
Howl
Topic: Choose One
Topic #1
How does Ginsberg define the different kinds of madness in the first section of the poem? The narrator argues that
Carl Solomon is in fact mentally ill and needs psychiatric help. The speaker blames "Moloch" for his friend's sad
situation. Who or what does Moloch represent? Does the speaker have grounds for his assignment of blame?
Topic #2
No group defied the rules that defined orderly life in 1950s America quite like the Beats. Ginsberg was no anarchist,
but he believed that the severity of the justice and health systems stunted the creativity of the nation's most
promising individuals. Does the poem attempt to justify breaking the law? Do the law-breakers in the poem espouse
the principle of civil disobedience, or are they just common criminals?
Topic #3
The second and third sections of the poem deal with confinement. Moloch is the god of prisons, governments, and
boring suburbia, while Rockland represents the mental and physical confinement of the mental institutions. Where
do you find examples of physical confinement in Howl, and where do you find examples of mental confinement? Is
there a clear line dividing these two kinds of confinement?
Topic #4
In Ginsberg's view, America has been flipped upside down, and democracy and the common man have taken a
backseat to profits, politicians, and policemen. Does the speaker of Howl have a problem with America in
particular? Consider either Ginsberg’s Marxist or patriotic views and how they shape his opinions as expressed in
Howl.
Topic #5
Write an essay analyzing Howl through one critical lens.
Note: You are free to pursue another writing topic. Please, discuss it with me before you begin so we can
make sure that it is viable.
