Re doing a paper topic and self-citation
This slideshow offers some suggestions and identifies expectations for students who are choosing to write a formal research paper on a topic that they have already written about. Additionally, it shows them how to self-cite and explains how self-citation may be controversial.
College writing
This document provides guidance on writing expectations for college compared to high school. It emphasizes that college writing requires analyzing facts and drawing conclusions rather than just restating facts. Students should formulate a clear, unified thesis with one main idea rather than a list of disconnected points. Strong thesis statements make an argument by tying multiple ideas together rather than presenting a random list. College writing also involves interrogating one's own arguments and assumptions rather than simply listing out points. The five-paragraph essay format is considered too rigid and repetitive for college-level writing, as it lacks a clear argument and flow between paragraphs.

Thanks dear
For this 5-7-page essay, you need to choose one of the short stories below to determine to what
degree the main character(s) is/are driven by an economic motive. As we have learned, Marxist
theory claims that “getting and keeping economic power is the motive behind all social and
political activities, including education, philosophy, religion, government, the arts, science,
technology, the media, and so on” (Tyson 50).
For this paper, you will need to research and examine the economic setting in the story. Identify
the time and place of the story. What was happening economically in that region at that time, and
do the
characters in the story seem to reflect these economic conditions?
This is the question I would like you to answer, as it is the central idea upon which Marxist
literary criticism rests. You must research the
economic setting of the story you choose, and you need to cite your sources. Do explain in
your essay how the economic struggles relate to the theme you identify in the story.
Also, do identify any ironies (verbal, situational, cosmic, or dramatic) that you see as important.
Be sure to define the ironies you identify and explain how your example fits the definition.
You need 5-7 sources for this paper. The critical theory text for the class counts as one source, as
does the original short story or play you are examining. Papers with less sources and/or pages
will not be accepted and will be returned to you ungraded. You need to use and cite every source
listed on your works cited page.
This essay needs to be typed, double-spaced, and follow all correct MLA formats. Reputable
academic sources are required for this assignment. The GWC library’s databases are highly
recommended. You may use both literary resources and historical sources to help you with this
assignment, as long as you cite all sources in your paper and list them correctly on your works
cited page. The library also provides a MLA handout that shows you how to cite library research
correctly. The work cited page is required and is considered a page of your essay, so it counts as
one page and should have a page number on it.
Thus, your paper will identify the theme of the story, the economic situation and economic
struggles of the characters, and any pertinent ironies. In your conclusion, do weigh in on whether
you agree or disagree with Marx’s theory that ALL human activity is motivated by getting or
keeping economic power, and do be sure to support your opinion.

The Proposal In a paper proposal, your job is to answer t.docx
The Proposal
In a paper proposal, your job is to answer the what, how, and why of your essay topic so that
your audience understands the basic parameters of your argument.
For this proposal, you will write me (your professor) a letter that contains the following:
1) Capture the reader’s interest with your introduction, which should be a brief explanation
of your topic as a whole. This is where you explain the exigency (show why this is a
problem/idea worth considering and why?)
2) Write your working thesis statement. Formulate the question that will govern your
research, and then answer it with a strong statement/claim that your paper intends to
prove.
3) Supply background/context on your topic along with the purpose and relevance of your
thesis. Explain what you hope to prove or uncover. Provide concrete examples of the
issues you will be exploring, and explain why the research you will conduct is important.
This is where you will branch away from the primary source (the novel) to explain why
the theme or idea you are exploring is relevant beyond the page.
4) Discuss preliminary research on your topic while developing your proposal; explain how
this research fits into your argument and plans for the paper. How are you going to use
your sources? (make sure to include primary and secondary sources).
Project Text: The Road
In this project we will explore the post-apocalyptic genre and how texts of this genre reflect issues
and anxieties coursing through everyday life.
You will begin this Project by reading and analyzing Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. During this
time, we will pay close attention to themes being built within the text that provide insight on
“real-world” issues. You will then conduct research of your own (using the CSUN databases) in
order to find evidence that supports your theme in that “real-world” context.
The essay itself will be an argument made by you with an explicit thesis that is proven with
evidence from our primary text: The Road, and at least three resources you have found on the
CSUN databases.
Basic Requirements:
- 6 page minimum with Works Cited (not included in page count)
- Standard MLA Format
- A completed essay packet.
- Essay needs to be posted to your Class Website AND turned in at the beginning of class.
- Minimum of 3 secondary sources. You may use the articles I have provided for you, but
these will not count towards the minimum requirement.
- Proof of visit to the LRC.
- Completion of all lead-up exercises.
Exercise 1: The Review
For this assignment, you will be required to write a scholarly review of Cormac McCarthy’s The
Road. In this review, you will be required to interpret The Road within a larger conversation (based
on the themes you have been developing throughout the past few weeks). Your review will need
to include supplemental information from two of our previous texts.

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.

The Short Happy Life of Francis
Macomber
The Wall

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"?

Youve probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of th.docx
You've probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of the chapter's topic using each of the three main sociological paradigms, right? Well, now it's your turn! For this paper, you will need to select a social issue from the list below and analyze it from the perspective of a Structural Functionalist, a Conflict Theorist, and a Symbolic Interactionist. Then you'll conclude your paper with an evaluation of the relevance / helpfulness of each perspective for understanding your chosen social issue.
Functionalism is a macro-level theory that looks at the different structures of society like organs in the body - a bunch of different parts working together to maintain the equilibrium of the whole. When functionalists look at an enduring aspect of society, they think, "What is its purpose? What function does this serve?" The functionalism paradigm seeks to understand how all aspects of society, even those that may seem negative or harmful, contribute to the continuity of society, so this perspective tends to bring an optimistic point of view of to social issues.
Conflict theory also takes a macro-level view of society, but this perspective tends to bring a more pessimistic point of view to social issues. Conflict theorists see the world as divided into two groups: a dominant group and a subordinate group. These two groups are in constant conflict, competition, or struggle over control of power and resources, but the dominant group puts structures and institutions in place to maintain control of these resources. The father of conflict theory, Karl Marx, defined the dominant and subordinate group by economic conditions, but more contemporary adaptations of conflict theory define the dominant and subordinate groups along other dimensions. For example, feminist theory defines these groups by gender and critical race theory by race and ethnicity. Regardless of the dimension used to define the dominant and subordinate groups, conflict theorists are interested in analyzing the social forces that maintain inequalities (usually with an eye toward dismantling and changing those systems).
Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory, so the type of analysis performed using this perspective will look very different from the macro-level theories above. Symbolic interactionists are interested in interactions and communication between individuals and small groups. Communication, in all its various forms (writing, singing, painting), is a series of symbols, and proponents of this perspective are interested in understanding how we make sense of these symbols and the world around us. How do we imbue meaning and value into these symbols? How do these meanings and values shape how we see the world? How are these meanings and values shared through interaction? How are they changed through interactions?
These three paradigms are like different lenses you can put on (and take off) to see the world. Although they may be used to observe the same socia.

Short Story Critical Paper Assignment
Page count
: 3-4 pages
Format:
MLA, double-spaced, 12-point font
Required sources
: The short stories we’ve read to date
Now that we have nearly completed the short fiction unit of this course, it’s time to get to work on your critical papers.
The goal of a “lens analysis” essay or critical paper is
not
to simply compare and contrast two or three works of literature, but to put them in conversation with one another. We aren’t necessarily interested in how two or three particular stories contrast (because
every
story is different in a myriad of ways). We’re interested in looking at the ways the stories and their writers illuminate one another, how elements of craft and author intention are evident across multiple works of literature, and we’re interested in seeing how these elements of craft work to create different effects and create meaning in many works of literature.
Start your paper by formulating a two or three-sentence thesis statement or
argument
. You must then pull no less than
two quotes
from each story or text, passages of the story that serve as evidence to your thesis/argument.
You may choose one of the following essay topics (or another idea altogether) to address in your paper:
Character:
Choose protagonists (main characters) from two or three of the stories we’ve read. What does the protagonist most want? Make an argument. Who or what is in his/her way (antagonist)? Why is this a source of conflict or tension for him/her? What is the crisis? How does the climax or ending give you more insight into the meaning of the character’s desires and the overall theme(s) of the story? How do those desires change throughout the story?
Detail & Description and Imagery:
What sensory details make the world of the characters in these stories come alive? How is description working to affect meaning? What does the imagery add to the sensory in terms of emotional associations it brings to the text? Does the image recur (i.e. “the things they carried”)? If so, how does this repetition work to create meaning or enhance theme? Do you notice any
objective correlatives, metaphors
or examples of
personification
that enhance or affect meaning? Pick two different passages in each story you choose, and discuss how the writer’s choice of details and imagery helps characterize a place or a person, suggesting something that goes unstated (subtext) in the themes.
Subtext:
What goes unsaid in the dialogue and how does the writer give us hints to this subtext? Choose
at least
two passages of description of action or dialogue from two different stories and “read between the lines.” How are character gestures, imagery and/or metaphor working to help you “read between the lines” or uncover the subtext and Hemingway’s
Iceberg Theory.
What do you think is the purpose of subtext? What effect does subtext have on the reader?
Point of View and Voice:
How does the author’s use of sty.

One personal interview of another person
Introduction
There is a strong tradition of writing both sociologically-
informed biographies and sociologically-informed
autobiographies in the discipline of sociology. For this
assignment, you will be doing a bit of both of those. You will
both reflect on your own life story, making connections
between your everyday life or your life story and broad
sociocultural structures within which you live, and you will also
compare and contrast those with someone you interview.
The socioautobiography is a "disciplined, systematic
exploration of one's life from a sociological point of view" (Hill,
2009, p. 3). Also, the sociobiography is the systematic
exploration of another person's life from a sociological point of
view.
Instructions
To begin this assignment, consider your own life as you review
all the textbook readings and online weekly lessons and
decide which sociological concepts you wish to explain in
connection to a part or parts of your own life story. Click on the
following link for questions to consider as you reflect on your
life:
Link: Questions to Consider
Reflect
As you consider your own life and as you create
questions to ask the person you interview, consider the
following questions:
How might a sociologist introduce you or the
person you interview?
How have social influences shaped you or the
person you interview?
What were the social forces that constructed your
life or lifestyle?
How have you negotiated the crisscrossing
pressures of autonomy and conformity?
Who are you in social context and what does it
mean to understand your life using the
"sociological imagination," or utilizing a sociological
perspective?
What sociological concepts would be most helpful
in understanding and interpreting your life
experiences, whether class, or reference group,
conformity, agents of socialization, gender

Essay # 2: Literary Analysis of a Short Story with Light Research
This assignment requires you to
analyze a work of fiction from my list of options (see link on Canvas assignment page). This essay requires you to
develop a focused and opinioned thesis about the story, as this assignment is not asking you to write a mere “book report” which is only a re-telling of the story. It also requires you to
find and use three sources to support your ideas:
one source that needs to be from a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal in literature that pertains to the story and/or the author (this source must be obtained through the HCC library databases) AND another source (website preferably) that DOES NOT pertain directly to the story nor to the author, but rather to
the theme presented in your thesis statement and discussed throughout your essay (you cannot pursue this second source until you’ve established your thesis and know what “angle” you are pursuing) AND a third source that is entirely your choice.
I. The Purpose of a Literary Analysis:
A literary analysis is not merely a summary of a literary work. This kind of analysis analysis, like any analysis, is just that:
ANALYTICAL! It is intended to reveal and/or explain meaning. Thus, the assumption is that meaning exists, and it is the job of a (close/active) reader to ferret it out and offer a response to it!
Far from being a mere summary, it is an argument, essentially, about the work that expresses the essay writer’s personal perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation. This is accomplished by examining the literary devices, word choices, or writing structures the author uses within the work first, followed by a critical analysis of content. Another purpose of a literary analysis is to demonstrate why the author used specific ideas, word choices, or writing structures to convey his or her message.
II. How to Create a Literary Analysis:
1. Select (and ideally
print) one of the stories listed on my Learning Web page (linked on the Canvas assignment page for this essay assignment). The stories listed here are the only acceptable stories for this assignment, and they are all in full text so there’s no need to find them elsewhere.
2. Read the text closely at least a couple of times. Focus on the ideas that are being presented. Think about the characters’ development and the author’s writing technique. What might be considered interesting, unusual, or important?
3. Brainstorm a list of potential topics. Highlight important passages in the text and take notes on these passages. Think of the ideas/concepts that strike you as you read. Later, when writing the paper, these notes should help a writer to .
Literary AnalysisWhat distinguishes literature from other forms o.docx
Literary Analysis
“What distinguishes literature from other forms of knowledge is that it cannot be understood unless we understand what it means to be human.” (J. Bronowski)
There are many ways to interpret, analyze, and evaluate literature. Perhaps you’ve already been asked to make an observation or take a position about a work of literature (whether a poem, short story, novel, play, or film) and examine such elements as plot, characters, theme, setting, conflict, structure, point of view, imagery, or symbolism. When you are asked by a teacher to write an interpretation, a critique, or a literary analysis, you are being asked to figure out what is going on in a work of literature. Much more complicated than merely summarizing a piece or writing a personal reaction to it, literary analysis requires that you read between the lines of a text and discover something meaningful there. Why does a specific image recur throughout a poem? How does a novel relate to a social issue facing the author at the time it was written? Do you recognize a pattern or perceive a problem with a character’s behavior in a play? How is the role of women significant in a movie? Answers to all of these questions can be determined only through critical thinking and the synthesis of your ideas.
· An interpretation—explains a text’s overall meaning or significance, explaining your reasoning for this interpretation with supporting evidence from the text.
· A critique—also called a critical response or a review, it provides your personal judgment about a text, supported by reasons and references to the work of art and often secondary sources.· A formal analysis—different from a critique in that examines a work of art by breaking it down into various elements to discover how the parts interrelate to create meaning of effect.
· A cultural analysis—examines a work of art by relating it to the historical, social, cultural, or political situations in which it was written to show how the author was influenced by personal experiences, events, prevailing attitudes, or contemporary values.
How can I persuade readers that my view or interpretation is reasonable?
First, be sure that your view or interpretation asserts a debatable claim.
For instance, if you were to say that “Antigone is a play about a young woman who questions authority,” you wouldn’t be saying much beyond a summary. But if you said that, “Antigone’s punishment is well-deserved because she violates the laws of the king,” that is debatable. Another student could just as easily argue that Antigone’s punishment is not well-deserved and that she should be commended for respecting the higher laws of the gods over the laws of the king.
Because you are essentially arguing that your perspective is a valid one, you have to support it effectively with reasons, evidence from the piece (direct references to specific quotations, lines, passages, scenes, etc.), and—if required—secondary sources (articles and bo ...

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

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 addiction?

GuidelinesPaper is based on one novel , Frankenstein. We ha.docx
Guidelines
Paper is based on one novel ,
Frankenstein
. We have
learned that one element crucial to horror stories is a monster. After reading the
entire novel , you will write a two- to three-page paper analyzing whether Victor Frankenstein or the
creation is the true monster in the novel.
You must pick one. Then state three
reasons/actions why he is the monster.
DO NOT:
o
Claim they are both monsters
o
Claim that neither is
o
Claim that there is no monster because Victor is hallucinating, has
a split personality, is dreaming, etc.
o
Claim that the real monster is abstract/philosophical--narcissism,
society, nature vs. nurture, etc
These are all innovative and great and may make a great essay but that's not
the assignment.
You must make a claim that Victor is the true monster
OR his creation is the true monster and support your claim.
Even though it is your interpretation of who the monster is, when you write
academic essays, you are really asserting a claim and attempting to convince
readers to agree with your stance. To do this effectively, it’s best to create a
more objective tone, pulling back on personal statements and writing in terms of
what Shelley intended and how readers in general perceive/infer the information.
In other words, avoid statements like: “I think the monster is really Victor
Frankenstein.” And use statements like: “After careful analysis of Shelley’s
characters, readers agree that Victor is the true monster of the novel.” Also, a
major pitfall to avoid: Do not claim that the monster is Victor then focus on the
creation in the body of the essay and why the creation is not the monster.
Throughout the semester, I have been posing questions on the Discussion Board
that you have been responsible for. You were then required in some weeks to
respond to a peer’s answers. The purpose of this is to cultivate interaction among
peers as you are working in such solitude when in an online environment.
However, I know that it is hard to routinely read a lot of what your peers have to
say. So this second paper is the one opportunity for you to truly HEAR several
angles of a discussion, much like in a traditional classroom, and assimilate the
opinions of your classmates.
For the essay, after you first come to your own observation about who the true
monster is then read through a handful of each of the four
Frankenstein
discussion threads (Storyline Shift, Victor Frankenstein, The Creation, and
Frankenstein Finale). Find a few posts that support your observation. You do not
need to read through all of the posts for each thread but read through enough to
help inform your selection. Throughout your essay you will need to
include at
least three quotes from two different threads (one per body
paragraph/reason).
These quotes need to support your claim. In other words, if
you claim that Victor is the monster, don’t include a quote by a peer that focuses
on the monster’s compassion. Also, be.

Proposal for final paper—Week 1 Onceyouhavedecidedonan.docx
Proposal for final paper—Week 1
Once you have decided on an approved prompt and approved text, respond to the
questions below. Please be mindful of the word count and double-space all of your
responses. You are to meet the minimum word requirement without going over the
maximum number of words requested.
1. What is your chosen prompt for the literary analysis assignment?
(Use the space below to complete this section. Include the number and first sentence of
the prompt you chose from the list of prompts.)
I chose to write about prompt #2: “In some stories, characters come into conflict with the
culture in which they live.”
2. What interests you most about this prompt and why?
(Use the space below to complete this section. Your response must be 100 to 150 words.)
I think the idea of alienation is common in literature and life, and I think it will be
interesting to explore the concept of alienation in literature to see if and how it relates to
alienation in the real world. Many of society’s problems come, I think, from people
feeling disconnected from their families and their communities. I know I am to focus on
analyzing the literary work, however, so I understand that any personal connections I
make should not appear in the paper itself. I also feel that the topic gives me good
direction but also allows me some freedom to come up with my own ideas.
3. What text will you write about? Why?
(Use the space below to complete this section. Your response must be 100 to 150 words.)
*Note to students: the text used in this sample CANNOT be used for your own papers.
It is not on the list of approved texts and is used here for demonstration purposes only.
I chose to write about Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis as I think the story lends itself
very well to this prompt. Gregor is clearly alienated from his family and from society.
He has no friends or activities outside of his work. The fact that he became a bug
revealed that his family and job already treated him that way. This story really interests
me as I think many in our modern-day society are much the same as Gregor. Gregor’s
transformation showed that he was really just viewed as a “thing” by his family. When he
was of no use to them anymore, he was thrown away.
4. What is your working thesis? Keep in mind that “working thesis” means you can slightly
modify your thesis for the draft and/or final essay.
(Use the space below to complete this section. Your thesis statement must be ONLY one
to two sentences long.)
Gregor Samsa’s physical transformation into a vermin is a physical manifestation of his
already alienated state and demonstrates how his family viewed him as a thing instead of
a son or brother that they loved.
5. What are three key ideas that you will discuss in support of your thesis? (Write one --
and only one -- sentence for each point.
a. Gregor’s room reveals that he had no life outs.

Thanks dear
For this 5-7-page essay, you need to choose one of the short stories below to determine to what
degree the main character(s) is/are driven by an economic motive. As we have learned, Marxist
theory claims that “getting and keeping economic power is the motive behind all social and
political activities, including education, philosophy, religion, government, the arts, science,
technology, the media, and so on” (Tyson 50).
For this paper, you will need to research and examine the economic setting in the story. Identify
the time and place of the story. What was happening economically in that region at that time, and
do the
characters in the story seem to reflect these economic conditions?
This is the question I would like you to answer, as it is the central idea upon which Marxist
literary criticism rests. You must research the
economic setting of the story you choose, and you need to cite your sources. Do explain in
your essay how the economic struggles relate to the theme you identify in the story.
Also, do identify any ironies (verbal, situational, cosmic, or dramatic) that you see as important.
Be sure to define the ironies you identify and explain how your example fits the definition.
You need 5-7 sources for this paper. The critical theory text for the class counts as one source, as
does the original short story or play you are examining. Papers with less sources and/or pages
will not be accepted and will be returned to you ungraded. You need to use and cite every source
listed on your works cited page.
This essay needs to be typed, double-spaced, and follow all correct MLA formats. Reputable
academic sources are required for this assignment. The GWC library’s databases are highly
recommended. You may use both literary resources and historical sources to help you with this
assignment, as long as you cite all sources in your paper and list them correctly on your works
cited page. The library also provides a MLA handout that shows you how to cite library research
correctly. The work cited page is required and is considered a page of your essay, so it counts as
one page and should have a page number on it.
Thus, your paper will identify the theme of the story, the economic situation and economic
struggles of the characters, and any pertinent ironies. In your conclusion, do weigh in on whether
you agree or disagree with Marx’s theory that ALL human activity is motivated by getting or
keeping economic power, and do be sure to support your opinion.

The Proposal
In a paper proposal, your job is to answer the what, how, and why of your essay topic so that
your audience understands the basic parameters of your argument.
For this proposal, you will write me (your professor) a letter that contains the following:
1) Capture the reader’s interest with your introduction, which should be a brief explanation
of your topic as a whole. This is where you explain the exigency (show why this is a
problem/idea worth considering and why?)
2) Write your working thesis statement. Formulate the question that will govern your
research, and then answer it with a strong statement/claim that your paper intends to
prove.
3) Supply background/context on your topic along with the purpose and relevance of your
thesis. Explain what you hope to prove or uncover. Provide concrete examples of the
issues you will be exploring, and explain why the research you will conduct is important.
This is where you will branch away from the primary source (the novel) to explain why
the theme or idea you are exploring is relevant beyond the page.
4) Discuss preliminary research on your topic while developing your proposal; explain how
this research fits into your argument and plans for the paper. How are you going to use
your sources? (make sure to include primary and secondary sources).
Project Text: The Road
In this project we will explore the post-apocalyptic genre and how texts of this genre reflect issues
and anxieties coursing through everyday life.
You will begin this Project by reading and analyzing Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. During this
time, we will pay close attention to themes being built within the text that provide insight on
“real-world” issues. You will then conduct research of your own (using the CSUN databases) in
order to find evidence that supports your theme in that “real-world” context.
The essay itself will be an argument made by you with an explicit thesis that is proven with
evidence from our primary text: The Road, and at least three resources you have found on the
CSUN databases.
Basic Requirements:
- 6 page minimum with Works Cited (not included in page count)
- Standard MLA Format
- A completed essay packet.
- Essay needs to be posted to your Class Website AND turned in at the beginning of class.
- Minimum of 3 secondary sources. You may use the articles I have provided for you, but
these will not count towards the minimum requirement.
- Proof of visit to the LRC.
- Completion of all lead-up exercises.
Exercise 1: The Review
For this assignment, you will be required to write a scholarly review of Cormac McCarthy’s The
Road. In this review, you will be required to interpret The Road within a larger conversation (based
on the themes you have been developing throughout the past few weeks). Your review will need
to include supplemental information from two of our previous texts.

Youve probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of th.docx
You've probably noticed how each chapter ends with an analysis of the chapter's topic using each of the three main sociological paradigms, right? Well, now it's your turn! For this paper, you will need to select a social issue from the list below and analyze it from the perspective of a Structural Functionalist, a Conflict Theorist, and a Symbolic Interactionist. Then you'll conclude your paper with an evaluation of the relevance / helpfulness of each perspective for understanding your chosen social issue.
Functionalism is a macro-level theory that looks at the different structures of society like organs in the body - a bunch of different parts working together to maintain the equilibrium of the whole. When functionalists look at an enduring aspect of society, they think, "What is its purpose? What function does this serve?" The functionalism paradigm seeks to understand how all aspects of society, even those that may seem negative or harmful, contribute to the continuity of society, so this perspective tends to bring an optimistic point of view of to social issues.
Conflict theory also takes a macro-level view of society, but this perspective tends to bring a more pessimistic point of view to social issues. Conflict theorists see the world as divided into two groups: a dominant group and a subordinate group. These two groups are in constant conflict, competition, or struggle over control of power and resources, but the dominant group puts structures and institutions in place to maintain control of these resources. The father of conflict theory, Karl Marx, defined the dominant and subordinate group by economic conditions, but more contemporary adaptations of conflict theory define the dominant and subordinate groups along other dimensions. For example, feminist theory defines these groups by gender and critical race theory by race and ethnicity. Regardless of the dimension used to define the dominant and subordinate groups, conflict theorists are interested in analyzing the social forces that maintain inequalities (usually with an eye toward dismantling and changing those systems).
Symbolic interactionism is a micro-level theory, so the type of analysis performed using this perspective will look very different from the macro-level theories above. Symbolic interactionists are interested in interactions and communication between individuals and small groups. Communication, in all its various forms (writing, singing, painting), is a series of symbols, and proponents of this perspective are interested in understanding how we make sense of these symbols and the world around us. How do we imbue meaning and value into these symbols? How do these meanings and values shape how we see the world? How are these meanings and values shared through interaction? How are they changed through interactions?
These three paradigms are like different lenses you can put on (and take off) to see the world. Although they may be used to observe the same socia.

Short Story Critical Paper Assignment

Format:
MLA, double-spaced, 12-point font
Required sources
: The short stories we’ve read to date
Now that we have nearly completed the short fiction unit of this course, it’s time to get to work on your critical papers.
The goal of a “lens analysis” essay or critical paper is
not
to simply compare and contrast two or three works of literature, but to put them in conversation with one another. We aren’t necessarily interested in how two or three particular stories contrast (because
every
story is different in a myriad of ways). We’re interested in looking at the ways the stories and their writers illuminate one another, how elements of craft and author intention are evident across multiple works of literature, and we’re interested in seeing how these elements of craft work to create different effects and create meaning in many works of literature.
Start your paper by formulating a two or three-sentence thesis statement or
argument
. You must then pull no less than
two quotes
from each story or text, passages of the story that serve as evidence to your thesis/argument.
You may choose one of the following essay topics (or another idea altogether) to address in your paper:
Character:
Choose protagonists (main characters) from two or three of the stories we’ve read. What does the protagonist most want? Make an argument. Who or what is in his/her way (antagonist)? Why is this a source of conflict or tension for him/her? What is the crisis? How does the climax or ending give you more insight into the meaning of the character’s desires and the overall theme(s) of the story? How do those desires change throughout the story?
Detail & Description and Imagery:
What sensory details make the world of the characters in these stories come alive? How is description working to affect meaning? What does the imagery add to the sensory in terms of emotional associations it brings to the text? Does the image recur (i.e. “the things they carried”)? If so, how does this repetition work to create meaning or enhance theme? Do you notice any
objective correlatives, metaphors
or examples of
personification
that enhance or affect meaning? Pick two different passages in each story you choose, and discuss how the writer’s choice of details and imagery helps characterize a place or a person, suggesting something that goes unstated (subtext) in the themes.
Subtext:
What goes unsaid in the dialogue and how does the writer give us hints to this subtext? Choose
at least
two passages of description of action or dialogue from two different stories and “read between the lines.” How are character gestures, imagery and/or metaphor working to help you “read between the lines” or uncover the subtext and Hemingway’s
Iceberg Theory.
What do you think is the purpose of subtext? What effect does subtext have on the reader?
Point of View and Voice:
How does the author’s use of sty.

Introduction
There is a strong tradition of writing both sociologically-
informed biographies and sociologically-informed
autobiographies in the discipline of sociology. For this
assignment, you will be doing a bit of both of those. You will

Essay # 2: Literary Analysis of a Short Story with Light Research
This assignment requires you to
analyze a work of fiction from my list of options (see link on Canvas assignment page). This essay requires you to
develop a focused and opinioned thesis about the story, as this assignment is not asking you to write a mere “book report” which is only a re-telling of the story. It also requires you to
find and use three sources to support your ideas:
one source that needs to be from a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal in literature that pertains to the story and/or the author (this source must be obtained through the HCC library databases) AND another source (website preferably) that DOES NOT pertain directly to the story nor to the author, but rather to
the theme presented in your thesis statement and discussed throughout your essay (you cannot pursue this second source until you’ve established your thesis and know what “angle” you are pursuing) AND a third source that is entirely your choice.
I. The Purpose of a Literary Analysis:
A literary analysis is not merely a summary of a literary work. This kind of analysis analysis, like any analysis, is just that:
ANALYTICAL! It is intended to reveal and/or explain meaning. Thus, the assumption is that meaning exists, and it is the job of a (close/active) reader to ferret it out and offer a response to it!
Far from being a mere summary, it is an argument, essentially, about the work that expresses the essay writer’s personal perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation. This is accomplished by examining the literary devices, word choices, or writing structures the author uses within the work first, followed by a critical analysis of content. Another purpose of a literary analysis is to demonstrate why the author used specific ideas, word choices, or writing structures to convey his or her message.
II. How to Create a Literary Analysis:
1. Select (and ideally
print) one of the stories listed on my Learning Web page (linked on the Canvas assignment page for this essay assignment). The stories listed here are the only acceptable stories for this assignment, and they are all in full text so there’s no need to find them elsewhere.
2. Read the text closely at least a couple of times. Focus on the ideas that are being presented. Think about the characters’ development and the author’s writing technique. What might be considered interesting, unusual, or important?
3. Brainstorm a list of potential topics. Highlight important passages in the text and take notes on these passages. Think of the ideas/concepts that strike you as you read. Later, when writing the paper, these notes should help a writer to .
Literary AnalysisWhat distinguishes literature from other forms o.docx
Literary Analysis
“What distinguishes literature from other forms of knowledge is that it cannot be understood unless we understand what it means to be human.” (J. Bronowski)
There are many ways to interpret, analyze, and evaluate literature. Perhaps you’ve already been asked to make an observation or take a position about a work of literature (whether a poem, short story, novel, play, or film) and examine such elements as plot, characters, theme, setting, conflict, structure, point of view, imagery, or symbolism. When you are asked by a teacher to write an interpretation, a critique, or a literary analysis, you are being asked to figure out what is going on in a work of literature. Much more complicated than merely summarizing a piece or writing a personal reaction to it, literary analysis requires that you read between the lines of a text and discover something meaningful there. Why does a specific image recur throughout a poem? How does a novel relate to a social issue facing the author at the time it was written? Do you recognize a pattern or perceive a problem with a character’s behavior in a play? How is the role of women significant in a movie? Answers to all of these questions can be determined only through critical thinking and the synthesis of your ideas.
· An interpretation—explains a text’s overall meaning or significance, explaining your reasoning for this interpretation with supporting evidence from the text.
· A critique—also called a critical response or a review, it provides your personal judgment about a text, supported by reasons and references to the work of art and often secondary sources.· A formal analysis—different from a critique in that examines a work of art by breaking it down into various elements to discover how the parts interrelate to create meaning of effect.
· A cultural analysis—examines a work of art by relating it to the historical, social, cultural, or political situations in which it was written to show how the author was influenced by personal experiences, events, prevailing attitudes, or contemporary values.
How can I persuade readers that my view or interpretation is reasonable?
First, be sure that your view or interpretation asserts a debatable claim.
For instance, if you were to say that “Antigone is a play about a young woman who questions authority,” you wouldn’t be saying much beyond a summary. But if you said that, “Antigone’s punishment is well-deserved because she violates the laws of the king,” that is debatable. Another student could just as easily argue that Antigone’s punishment is not well-deserved and that she should be commended for respecting the higher laws of the gods over the laws of the king.
Because you are essentially arguing that your perspective is a valid one, you have to support it effectively with reasons, evidence from the piece (direct references to specific quotations, lines, passages, scenes, etc.), and—if required—secondary sources (articles and bo ...

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 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 addiction?

GuidelinesPaper is based on one novel , Frankenstein. We ha.docx
Guidelines
Paper is based on one novel ,
Frankenstein
. We have
learned that one element crucial to horror stories is a monster. After reading the
entire novel , you will write a two- to three-page paper analyzing whether Victor Frankenstein or the
creation is the true monster in the novel.
You must pick one. Then state three
reasons/actions why he is the monster.
DO NOT:
o
Claim they are both monsters
o
Claim that neither is
o
Claim that there is no monster because Victor is hallucinating, has
a split personality, is dreaming, etc.
o
Claim that the real monster is abstract/philosophical--narcissism,
society, nature vs. nurture, etc
These are all innovative and great and may make a great essay but that's not
the assignment.
You must make a claim that Victor is the true monster
OR his creation is the true monster and support your claim.
Even though it is your interpretation of who the monster is, when you write
academic essays, you are really asserting a claim and attempting to convince
readers to agree with your stance. To do this effectively, it’s best to create a
more objective tone, pulling back on personal statements and writing in terms of
what Shelley intended and how readers in general perceive/infer the information.
In other words, avoid statements like: “I think the monster is really Victor
Frankenstein.” And use statements like: “After careful analysis of Shelley’s
characters, readers agree that Victor is the true monster of the novel.” Also, a
major pitfall to avoid: Do not claim that the monster is Victor then focus on the
creation in the body of the essay and why the creation is not the monster.
Throughout the semester, I have been posing questions on the Discussion Board
that you have been responsible for. You were then required in some weeks to
respond to a peer’s answers. The purpose of this is to cultivate interaction among
peers as you are working in such solitude when in an online environment.
However, I know that it is hard to routinely read a lot of what your peers have to
say. So this second paper is the one opportunity for you to truly HEAR several
angles of a discussion, much like in a traditional classroom, and assimilate the
opinions of your classmates.
For the essay, after you first come to your own observation about who the true
monster is then read through a handful of each of the four
Frankenstein
discussion threads (Storyline Shift, Victor Frankenstein, The Creation, and
Frankenstein Finale). Find a few posts that support your observation. You do not
need to read through all of the posts for each thread but read through enough to
help inform your selection. Throughout your essay you will need to
include at
least three quotes from two different threads (one per body
paragraph/reason).
These quotes need to support your claim. In other words, if
you claim that Victor is the monster, don’t include a quote by a peer that focuses
on the monster’s compassion. Also, be.

Proposal for final paper—Week 1
Once you have decided on an approved prompt and approved text, respond to the
questions below. Please be mindful of the word count and double-space all of your
responses. You are to meet the minimum word requirement without going over the
maximum number of words requested.
1. What is your chosen prompt for the literary analysis assignment?
(Use the space below to complete this section. Include the number and first sentence of
the prompt you chose from the list of prompts.)
I chose to write about prompt #2: “In some stories, characters come into conflict with the
culture in which they live.”
2. What interests you most about this prompt and why?
(Use the space below to complete this section. Your response must be 100 to 150 words.)
I think the idea of alienation is common in literature and life, and I think it will be
interesting to explore the concept of alienation in literature to see if and how it relates to
alienation in the real world. Many of society’s problems come, I think, from people
feeling disconnected from their families and their communities. I know I am to focus on
analyzing the literary work, however, so I understand that any personal connections I
make should not appear in the paper itself. I also feel that the topic gives me good
direction but also allows me some freedom to come up with my own ideas.
3. What text will you write about? Why?
(Use the space below to complete this section. Your response must be 100 to 150 words.)
*Note to students: the text used in this sample CANNOT be used for your own papers.
It is not on the list of approved texts and is used here for demonstration purposes only.
I chose to write about Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis as I think the story lends itself
very well to this prompt. Gregor is clearly alienated from his family and from society.
He has no friends or activities outside of his work. The fact that he became a bug
revealed that his family and job already treated him that way. This story really interests
me as I think many in our modern-day society are much the same as Gregor. Gregor’s
transformation showed that he was really just viewed as a “thing” by his family. When he
was of no use to them anymore, he was thrown away.
4. What is your working thesis? Keep in mind that “working thesis” means you can slightly
modify your thesis for the draft and/or final essay.
(Use the space below to complete this section. Your thesis statement must be ONLY one
to two sentences long.)
Gregor Samsa’s physical transformation into a vermin is a physical manifestation of his
already alienated state and demonstrates how his family viewed him as a thing instead of
a son or brother that they loved.
5. What are three key ideas that you will discuss in support of your thesis? (Write one --
and only one -- sentence for each point.
a. Gregor’s room reveals that he had no life outs.

The sleeping beauty in the wood
The Sleeping Beauty tells the story of a princess who is cursed by an evil fairy to prick her finger and die on her 17th birthday. A good fairy modifies the curse so that the princess will instead fall asleep for 100 years until awakened by a prince's kiss. On her 17th birthday, the princess pricks her finger and falls asleep along with the entire castle. Exactly 100 years later, a prince discovers the sleeping princess and awakens her with a kiss, breaking the enchantment. They fall in love and are married.

She marries the prince and lives happily ever after.
Feminism and Patrarchy
This document discusses concepts related to patriarchy, feminism, and gender norms. It presents lists of stereotypes and expectations for women and men under patriarchal systems, such as expectations around emotions, careers, relationships and more. The document also discusses how these norms are taught from an early age through folktales and cultural lessons.

They are asked to find relevant quotes from assigned readings and discuss how their own views have changed through class discussion.
Class 2: Feminism and Patriarchy
This document discusses introducing concepts of patriarchy and feminism through an in-class exercise. Students are asked to work in gendered groups to identify societal expectations and norms for "good/bad" women and "real/inadequate" men. They then share their lists and discuss where these roles come from and how they impact individuals and society. The discussion is meant to help students examine their own views on patriarchy and feminism in relation to assigned readings. Students are also asked to analyze how folktales teach early gender norms and complete related homework.
Sisterhood
Sororities provide opportunities for sisterhood through intimate friendships, loyalty, trust, and emotional and physical affection. However, they can also encourage conformity, dependence on men, and exclusion from some activities typically associated with empowerment like sports or protest movements. While sororities nurture caring bonds, they may also involve backstabbing, cliques, and dishonesty between members.
Brotherhood
This document discusses characteristics of male-centered groups such as fraternities, sports teams, and militaries. It notes that these groups emphasize camaraderie, loyalty, and proving one's toughness through activities like hazing. They also tend to have hierarchical structures and encourage members to suppress emotions, take risks, and avoid seeking help.
First class
This document outlines a course on women in literature through the ages. It will examine how gender roles and cultural expectations are socialized through folktales told to children and the representations of women in various stages of life in literature.

Short paper #3
- 1. Short paper #3 In this short paper, (2 and ½ to 3 pages, worth 30 points) you will analyze relationships and/or power structure in the portions of The Joy Luck Club, the stories we read about Black women in literature, The stories we read for Latinas in literature that we read for class. You may want to analyze a combination of points, focus just on mother-daughter relations, intersectionality or in fact any of the questions from the end of Tyson’s Feminist Criticism. Refer to and use quotes from Lois Tyson’s: Feminist Criticism, “What is Patriarchy?” By Malise Rosbech and/or “Mothers and Daughters: Giving the Lie.” You may also use any of the information from powerpoint presentations on our website. You do not need to summarize the book or stories, but make sure your paper would make sense to someone who hasn’t read them. Include a thesis so that I know what you will be analyzing about the works you chose. Your body paragraphs,) should include points from the articles, PowerPoints, discussions, quotes and examples from The Joy Luck Club and an analysis of how the quotes/ examples from the literature selections illustrate the points made in the articles and discussion. I need a works cited page for this paper. I do require that you follow the format under MLA formatting on the website.
