Introductions thesisstatements
This document discusses thesis statements and introductions for academic papers. It provides examples of effective thesis statements that are specific, forceful, clear, and contain the main points to be discussed in the paper. Thesis statements should present a single, unambiguous topic and avoid open-ended questions or conflicting ideas. Introductions should grab the reader's attention, set up the topic in an engaging way, and function as a roadmap for the rest of the paper. Less effective introductions include dictionary definitions or overly broad, sweeping statements.
DuBois and Locke on Art
This document discusses debates around African American art and literature in the early 20th century. It touches on W.E.B. Du Bois' perspective that creativity has been awakened from a deep sleep and may be led by Black youth. Du Bois also suggests young artists should remember the past but that art could help address racial issues. Alain Locke argues the "New Negro" has a new vibrant psychology compared to old stereotypes. Locke says the "New Negro" has gained self-respect and transformed from medieval to modern with the Great Migration to northern cities like Harlem, which he describes as a laboratory for this change. The reading assignment for next class is sections from Cane by Jean Toomer.
