This document introduces the two types of nonfiction writing: narrative nonfiction and informative nonfiction. Narrative nonfiction tells true stories and can take the form of autobiographies, memoirs, biographies, or narrative essays. It shares characteristics with fiction such as setting, characters, plot, and conflict. Informative nonfiction explains or expresses opinions, and includes expository essays that explain processes or analyze works, as well as persuasive essays that promote opinions. Both types of nonfiction have a structure including an attention-grabbing lead, body with supporting details, and conclusion that restates the main idea.

It described how photo essays aided me to develop and practice my reflective skills for personal and professional purposes during my graduate studies for M.Ed. at Aga Khan University. It illustrates samples of how I critically analyzed my beliefs and transformed them by combining photographs. Moreover, how I tried to be creative and weave in my personal and professional narratives (the photographic memory) to contribute in reflective conversation in my courses. It also sheds light on how I used photographs for participant profiles in my graduate research. The session also had practical tips regarding forming photo-essays and it usage for reflection.

Composition Project 1
Project 1: Literary Analysis
Task: Write a literary analysis of one of the short stories we read in this course. Briefly describe the story,
and what you think are the essential literary elements to understanding the story.
Audience and purpose: Your objective is to use evidence to support your analysis of the short story.
Your audience is your classmates and instructor as well as a larger audience who has not read the short story
before.
Research and evidence: You need only draw from the texts that you have read for this project. However,
in order to illustrate your theme, you may also use outside sources.
Steps toward success:
1) Read your short story in-depth. (This will require multiple readings of the text.)
2) Take notes and annotate the story.
3) Take advantage of the process. Carefully consider all revision comments you receive from your peers
and instructor, and make significant revisions.
4) Avoid simply summarizing the plot of the short story. Remember that this class focuses on your
analytical writing skills, not on retelling the story.
4) Checklist:
Length: 900 to 1200 words
Sources: For this project, you need only refer to the literature on which you are working. Be sure
to cite both the evidence from the text and any outside sources you use.
Include a Works Cited page using MLA style.
Literary Analysis: Using Elements of Literature
Students are asked to write literary analysis essays because this type of assignment encourages you to think about
how and why
a poem, short story, novel, or play was written.
·
To successfully analyze literature, you’ll need to remember that authors make specific choices for particular reasons. Your essay should point out the author’s choices and attempt to explain their significance.
·
Another way to look at a literary analysis is to consider a piece of literature from your own perspective. Rather than thinking about the author’s intentions, you can develop an argument based on any single term (or combination of terms) listed below.
You’ll need to use the original text as evidence to defend and explain your argument to the reader.
Character -
representation of a person, place, or thing performing traditionally human activities or functions in a work of fiction
·
Protagonist
- The character the story revolves around.
·
Antagonist
- A character or force that opposes the protagonist.
·
Minor character
- Often provides support and illuminates the protagonist.
·
Static character
- A character that remains the same.
·
Dynamic character
- A character that changes in some important way.
·
Characterization
- The choices an author makes to reveal a character’s personality, such as appearance, actions, dialogue, and motivations.
Look for: Connections, links, and clues between and about characters. Ask yourself what the function and significance of each character is. Make this determination based upon the character's history, what the reader is told (and .

Instruction for Paper 1:
What is the significance of the literary element (plot, setting, characterization/character, diction, theme) you have chosen as the focus for your paper? You will develop a paper that answers this question and demonstrates the following outcomes for writing and literature:
Analyze literature for a purpose
Distinguish digital or print materials through annotation to demonstrate reading and summary skills
Identify a literary element--such as plot, setting, character, diction, or theme--in a short story
Identify one to three examples in the story that support the thesis
Write a thesis that clearly states your interpretation of the "meaning" (significance) the story based upon evidence related to the literary element you have selected to examine in the story
Write clear topic sentences for paragraphs that let the reader know what each paragraph of the body of the paper will discuss
Write paragraphs that explain how the examples from the story support the thesis
Arrange a paper by presenting paragraphs in a coherent, purposeful manner
Write sentences in standard American English that clearly express ideas
Demonstrate the MLA style of formatting in the layout of a paper
Demonstrate the MLA style of formatting by documenting material from the story within the paper and on a Works Cited page
Explain in a clear and logical fashion what you have learned about your writing
*Hints:
Remember that your reader has read the story and is familiar with it; extensive summary is not useful. Rather, explain and analyze how "meaning" is derived from the story by the author's implementation of a literary element. Note that the paper is to be about the story, not the author, so repeated references to the author are unnecessary and ill advised.
*Special Hint about Plot:
Be aware that a paper analyzing a piece of literature is NOT a plot summary. Summary, if you must have it, should provide only details necessary to identify parts of the story required to develop the paper, no longer than three to four sentences.
Select one from the literary elements listed below:
Plot
- the arrangement of ideas and/or incidents that make up a story
Foreshadowing
- When the writer clues the reader in to something that will eventually occur in the story; it may be explicit (obvious) or implied (disguised).
Suspense
- The tension that the author uses to create a feeling of discomfort about the unknown
Conflict
- Struggle between opposing forces.
Exposition
- Background information regarding the setting, characters, plot.
Rising Action
- The process the story follows as it builds to its main conflict
Crisis
- A significant turning point in the story that determines how it must end
Resolution/Denouement
- The way the story turns out.
Character
-
representation of a person, place, or ...

The Five Moves of Analysis(aka The Most Important Thing You Will.docxoreo10
The Five Moves of Analysis
(aka The Most Important Thing You Will Ever Learn)
1. Suspend Judgment: Set aside your likes and dislikes, your agreeing or disagreeing. Say to yourself, “What I find most interesting here is...”.
2. Notice and Focus: Simply put, pay close attention to details. “What do you notice?” What is significant/interesting/revealing/ strange. Slow down and take your time here. Don’t jump to interpretations before you’ve exhausted the details. Uncertainty is good.
3. Look for Patterns: Start sifting through the text looking for Repetitions, Strands, Binaries, and Anomalies.
Repetitions: sheep dog in "How to Talk to a Hunter"
Strands: Animals in "How to Talk to a Hunter," alcohol in "Sonny's Blues"
Binaries: Light/Dark in "Sonny's Blues," young/old in "One of Star Wars, One of Doom"
Anomalies: Mysterious notebook in "One of Star Wars, One of Doom," tin of chocolates with Santa Claus "fondling" children painted on it in "How to Talk to a Hunter"
4. Make the Implicit Explicit: Explain to the reader what the details or the patterns imply. Explain your thought process. Pull out the implications and show them why you think they are “folded in” to the meaning of the text or image. What does this mean and So What? Why is it important?
5. Keep Reformulating Questions and Explanations: What else might this detail or pattern mean? How else could it be explained? What details don’t fit my theory? Can I adjust my theory to better fit with this?
Prepping the Final Paper
Take a minute to re-read the assignment sheet for Paper 3. Then choose which prompt you would like to focus on for your paper. Once you have chosen your prompt, I would like you to go through the book and identify the scenes that you think link to your topic in an interesting way. Now…
1. List the scenes you have chosen, e.g. “Scene #1: The scene in which Oscar is taken into the cane and beaten.”
2. Carefully gather details from your chosen scenes. These should include both individual details you find interesting or bizarre, AND binaries, strands, repetitions, and anomalies. Use the skills we’ve practiced all quarter long to gather these. Write them down. For example, “Oscar’s hands are ‘seamless’ in the dream.’
3. Now spend some time pulling multiple implications out of as many details as you can. For instance, “Seamless hands = brand new, no history, no fingerprints so no traces, like a blank page.”
4. Choose your six juiciest, most interesting and analytically rich details and type them up in a list that includes implications.
5. Use your detail-analysis to develop a working thesis. This is your own analytical theory about what is going on in the scenes you’ve chosen. What have you uncovered and why is it significant? Write that thesis down.
My answer
1. Scene
#1: The scene in which Oscar’s dead at the beginning.
#2: The scene in which the narrator is not Yunior in chapter 2.
#3: Narrating the identity of Yunior.
#4: Using footn ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
