232 essay assignment Due Saturday, May 7 Your essay will require you to write 3+ pages, double-spaced and typed on any of the following options 1. Compare and contrast a work in our text books with another work in our book, or in popular culture (film, books, TV, music, etc.) Explore the themes and structures and point out the personal and cultural applications or significance of both works. 2. Investigate a character of a work that we have read. Write a psychological profile or mini biography. What is their motivation, what sort of information might we infer from the text as to the back-story. 3. Take a theme like racism, gender, oppression, love, freedom, etc... and explain its role in one or more works we have read this semester. 4. Write a story or essay based on any of the works we've read. It could be an alternate universe. Use some information from the original story or essay. You will cite any information from the Anthology by pointing to the Author and Page # i.e. (Behn 311). Any other sources whether it is a film, personal interview, book, journal, etc, need to be cited parenthetically and in a works- cited list according to MLA style. Neglecting MLA will result in a drastically reduced grade. Plagiarizing will result in a failing grade. You will be graded 75% on Content of writing and the depth of your work, and 25% on Grammar, Punctuation and other technical concerns. I will be basing the grade at a B level for a good, well done paper. An A level paper will be on the level of writing and overall work equal to the sample paper I will show in the St. Martin's handbook. Do: Write in the first person or third person, or even second person. Know when to use when. *Visit the Writing Center if you have any concerns about the paper FDH 240, 895-3908 *Have fun! Don't: Worry about length. Go as short or as long as you want, although keep in mind that I won't be partial to longer work, or forgiving of underdeveloped work. Aim for 3-5 pages. * Wait until the last minute. You can get it done and even visit the writing center before hand. *Turn it in late. I will reduce the grade of any late papers by one letter grade. |
