D13-EWRT 211
This document outlines the agenda and schedule for the last few weeks of an English composition class. It discusses wrapping up discussions on global issues and Madonnas, reviewing thesis statements and MLA formatting, and providing guidance on outlining and drafting the final papers. Students are expected to write an outline for their second paper that is due on Canvas by noon on Friday and includes a potential thesis, topics for each body paragraph, and an evidence quote for each. The following week will focus on revising the second paper and drafting the third paper, with the entire final portfolio due on March 21st.
Three steps to finding a theme
Three steps to finding a theme in a story are: 1) Identify the plot, which is what the story is about. 2) Determine the meaning behind the story, usually an abstract result of character's actions. 3) Express the theme as a lesson about human nature. For example, a story about a man hunting down his family's killers could mean that when the justice system fails those who have lost everything, they will go to extreme lengths, with the theme being people with nothing left to lose can be dangerous.
Narrative theory Todorov and Strauss
This document discusses two theories of narrative structure: Todorov's and Levi-Strauss'. Todorov's theory proposes that narratives follow five stages: equilibrium, disruption, realization, attempt to repair, restoration of equilibrium. Levi-Strauss focused on how narratives use binary oppositions like light/dark. Students are asked to analyze music videos using these theories and write blog posts explaining the theorists and applying their theories.
What Is Commentary?
This document provides guidance on writing commentary for essays. It recommends including at least two points of commentary for every one point of concrete detail. Commentary requires analyzing and making judgments about details rather than just reporting them. When writing commentary on literature, first-person pronouns should be avoided, and comments should analyze what details reveal about characters and events rather than making subjective statements. The phrase "This shows that" can help structure commentary during the drafting process but should be removed from the final version.
Narrative theorists todorov and propp
This document provides information about Todorov's and Propp's theories of narrative structure and instructs the reader to analyze music videos using these theories. Todorov's theory describes 5 stages of narrative: equilibrium, disruption, realization, attempt to repair, restoration of equilibrium. Propp's theory analyzed folk tales and identified 8 common character types including hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, and princess. The reader is asked to understand and apply these theories by analyzing example music videos and discussing their own videos.
Narrative theory
The document discusses several narrative theories including those proposed by Tzvetan Todorov, Vladimir Propp, Claude Levi-Strauss, and Roland Barthes. Todorov's theory examines the stages of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and restored or new equilibrium in narratives. Propp identified character types like the hero and functions of narratives. Levi-Strauss explored binary oppositions in narratives, and Barthes studied narrative codes like enigmas that hook audiences. The document ends by discussing how aspects of these theories were applied to the authors' own film production.

Todorov's theory of narrative follows the linear structure of equilibrium, disequilibrium, and a return to equilibrium. Vladimir Propp's character theory outlines that there must be at least eight types of characters. Claude Levi-Strauss proposed that narratives often feature binary oppositions such as protagonist vs antagonist or crime vs justice.

New York University Essay Examples
There are differences in how property taxes are assessed for mobile homes versus permanent homes. For mobile homes, taxes are based on the fair market value of the home itself, which can be lower than the land it sits on. For permanent homes, taxes are based on an appraisal of the overall property value, which includes both the home and the land. Some states have additional rules for mobile homes as well, such as owners being responsible for taxes even if they do not receive a notice. Overall, property taxes are typically higher for permanent homes than mobile homes due to differences in how assessed value is calculated.
Relative Clauses
The document discusses relative clauses, which are parts of sentences that begin with relative pronouns like who, which, that, where, when, and why. It explains the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses. Defining clauses provide essential information to identify a noun, while non-defining clauses provide extra, non-essential information. The document provides examples of forming relative clauses and choosing the correct relative pronouns, and emphasizes the importance of punctuation in non-defining clauses.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
