Position Paper—Monstrous IdentitiesENG 1013 Composition II, Arkansa.docxharrisonhoward80223
Position Paper—Monstrous IdentitiesENG 1013: Composition II, Arkansas State University
A Position Paper is a common type of academic argument that is written after reading about and discussing a particular issue in which you should state and defend your position on the issue as well as to illustrate how your opinion relates to similar or opposing opinions about the same issue. When writing your essay, remember that your thesis still needs to be both arguable and supported with details and evidence. Also continue to use transitions, which provide cues for the reader and improve coherence. We will also continue to use the following skills:
· collecting information from readings on a particular issue
· positioning one's claim in relation to other positions on the issue
· documenting sources using MLA in-text citations and works cited
· choosing an effective organizational strategy
· researching the library and Internet for sources
Purpose of the paper: To argue your position on how monsters reflect upon and create identity in at least two of the articles we have read in the Monsters textbook AND the YouTube documentary, showing how your position relates to those of the authors/narrator.
Audience: An academic audience that includes the authors of the readings and others interested in the issue upon which you are focusing.
Strategies:
· Focus on identities found in at least two of the readings. Use a specific, clearly stated thesis to introduce the focus. Introduce the issue early in the discussion.
· Develop your argument by defending your claim and showing how it relates to the positions of your sources. Show the positions of two or more authors/narrators, at least two of which must be from the textbook. Use clearly stated reasons and relevant, effective evidence. Reasons should represent sound logic. Evidence may be drawn from the readings and outside sources such as interviews, surveys, or written sources.
· Organize your paper in a way that effectively conveys information to your readers, is easy to follow, and presents your position in relation to those of the authors.
· Document all outside sources (both written and field sources) using MLA in-text citations and works cited.
· Write in a style that is clear, readable, appropriate to audience, and free from distracting errors in spelling, grammar, and usage.
· For extra information, consult “Major Assignment #2” in Monsters on pgs. 233-234.
Content and Audience
To focus your position paper, you should consider how your own insights add something new to a conversation on monstrosity in your hometown, in our nation, or in the larger world. Then, reflect on this issue, taking notes on perspectives that you feel are missing or on viewpoints that you feel are incompletely or inaccurately expressed. Even if you are writing about an issue with which you are already familiar you will want to read several sources pertaining to the issue before you begin writing. Some questions for you.

Prompt Introduction
Trickster characters have existed in stories from most cultures since the earliest times. The long-lasting
appeal of this archetype (recurring symbol of a recurring model) emphasizes the cultural need to
acknowledge that all is not what it seems to be, that we need to be on the lookout for those who would fool
us. It is not hard to account for the appeal of tricksters—they are fun in their radical assault on the status
quo, yet their trickery also strikes a deeper chord for most people.
Famous Tricksters from the past include Puss in Boots—a magical cat who tricks a king into raising a low
born miller to the station of a great noble—and Jack—a boy best known from the story “Jack and the
Beanstalk” who uses his wit to outsmart characters in many stories. In some interpretations of Christianity,
Satan can be seen as the ultimate trickster whose job is to test humanity.
As societies have evolved, the cultural function of the trickster has been reinvented: who or what are they
in a modern society? When and why do they appear?
Helen Lock, in her essay “Transformations of the Trickster,” writes,
Contentious issues include the status of the archaic archetypal tricksters (were they
mortal or divine? can a god be a trickster?), the relation of tricksters to gender and to
ethnicity, and the vexed question of whether modern tricksters exist at all. In one sense it
does seem entirely appropriate that these embodiments of ambiguity (no dispute there, at
least) should remain so elusive. However, it is still important to address these tricky
questions, because the trickster performs such fundamental cultural work: in
understanding the trickster better, we better understand ourselves, and the perhaps
subconscious aspects of ourselves that respond to the trickster’s unsettling and
transformative behavior.
Topic:
For this essay, consider trickster tales and trickster or trickster-like characters from our reading. Do
“modern tricksters,” as Lock asks, “exist at all”? Who or what are they in a modern society? When
and why do they appear? Is there a relationship between tricksters and gender and ethnicity? Do
these tricksters, as Lock asserts, help us “better understand ourselves, and the perhaps subconscious
aspects of ourselves that respond to the trickster’s unsettling and transformative behavior”? How?
Or, do these trickster tales and trickster or trickster-like characters serve another purpose? Which?

Works Cited Page
A Works Cited page names all of the sources that were used in an essay or research paper; it credits the
source or sources for the information you present, evaluate, analyze, and synthesize to support your thesis.
A Works Cited page also serves as a reference to the sources that were used so that a reader or writer can
quickly refer to the original text.
The Works Cited page for this research project must contain at least three secondary source entries. Two of
these must be either a book or article from a scholarly journal; the other may be a website or an article from
a popular magazine or periodical, such as Time, National Geographic, or the LA Times. Remember, you
can also draw on your own experiences and knowledge to discuss, explain, and analyze the texts you
choose to support your assertion.

Previously Learned Skills Required to Complete this Assignment
ü The ability to summarize sources
ü The ability to use multiple rhetorical strategies: Narration, Description, Exemplification
ü An awareness of plagiarism issues
ü The ability to write grammatically correct, clear sentences.
ü The ability to write a clear and concise thesis.
ü The ability to brainstorm material for an essay.
ü The ability to organize an essay
Best Practices
Ø As you reread the primary texts that you choose to use, keep in mind your argument; highlight
specific passages, lines, or scenes that support your thesis.
Ø Write a thesis that helps readers understand the point of the essay as well as enables them to
understand the reasoning behind your assertions, examples, and explanations.
Ø Avoid telling the reader that something is “interesting,” or “exciting”; instead create images or use
examples that show it.
Ø Use metaphors to make the reader see the intensity or scope or depth of the trickster concept in
modern literature.
Ø Come to my office if you are unsure, confused, or behind.
Traps to Avoid:
Ø Using too many primary sources. You only have a few pages to make your point. Cluttering your
essay with examples from too many sources will make your paper seem superficial and
undeveloped.
Ø Failing to assert a clear and strong argument.
Ø Failing to sufficiently describe the concept of trickster for readers who may be unfamiliar with it.
Ø Failing to accurately convey how the primary texts and characters qualify as trickster tales or
tricksters.
Ø Seeking to present the subject from memory or hearsay.
Ø Failing to support the argument with evidence from appropriate sources.
Ø Citing Wikipedia as a source for your research paper.
3. Ways to Begin:
Consider the answers to the following questions for your research:
What is a trickster? Can you provide multiple definitions? Can you find one (or several) that supports
your assertion? Can you modify a definition based on what you believe to be an evolution of the trickster
character?
What is a trickster tale? Can you provide multiple definitions? Can you find one that supports your
assertion? Can you modify a definition based on what you believe to be an evolution of the trickster tale?
Which, from our reading, are clearly identifiable as trickster tales? Can you include others, or parts of
others, that are not so easily identifiable? What makes them trickster tales?
Which, from our reading, are trickster or trickster-like characters? What characteristics make them
tricksters?
