PurposeThe purpose of this assignment is to 1) closely analyze a short story to understand how character, symbol, or plot is used to reveal a storys theme, 2) construct the analysis into a formally structured essay with a fully-developed thesis and argument-driven body paragraphs, and 3) incorporate quotes from the story correctly and effectively as evidence for the analytical points being made in each body paragraph.TaskSelect one reading from Unit 1 of the course and argue how a character, symbol, or plot point is being used to convey the storys main theme. Compose a well-organized academic paper that uncovers compelling connections between the literary technique and the literary theme. No additional sources are permitted for this essay. Follow MLA 8 style guidelines for the formatting of the essay and include a Work Cited page with the story listed as the only source. Use parenthetical citations in the body of the essay with page numbers for direct quotes.Criteria for SuccessA successful essay will include, in the introduction, a summary of the literary work(s) you have chosen, name the author(s), and explain the theme of the story that you will be analyzing. The introduction should conclude with a well-developed thesis claim that is focused on a precise scene or set of related details in the literature. You may use an optional prompt from this sheet or develop your own original thesis. The strongest thesis statements will answer these questions using precise language: What technique is used in the story to convey the theme? How does that technique reveal the theme? Why is it significant that the author chose to portray his or her theme using that technique?Create a structure that is organized around 3-4 key details or scenes in the literature:Body paragraphs should be structured as follows: Monarch caterpillarLiterary AnalysisEssay 1 Essay 1 20% of final grade (280 pts) 3-5 pages MLA format, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font Prewriting Friday, Feb. 5, 2021 Draft Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2021 Essay due Monday, February 15, 2021 OptionsWhile you are more than welcome to formulate your own topic, here are some prompts to get you started.1.

Midterm Paper / Thematic Essay:
You will be tasked to write a 5-6-page (1500-1800words) critical/thematic essay on a topic/theme or selection of artist(s)of your choosing dating from 1945 to the present. (for example, 3-5 art works)
You are encouraged to critically reflect on the chapters/themes that we have covered during the first half of the semester, or any artist(s) or type(s) of art that you find interesting/intriguing. The paper also provides an opportunity for you to consider deeply a work of art that you absolutely love, absolutely hate, feel ambivalently about, or feel completely confused about. In other words, it should be the art to which you feel compelled to respond! You will approach the work with the aim of understanding the goals of the artist, the process that went into making the work, its critical reception, its theoretical underpinnings, your subjective response, as well as the contextualization in Contemporary art. The final written work should be a synthetic analysis that interweaves multiple voices.You should think carefully and deeply about the theme and make decisions about which artworks best show how artists engaged with this theme from 1945 to the present.
The paper is a research paper in the sense that I expect you to provide historical background and interpretation of the works of art that you choose that goes beyond what is in your textbook. You may stem the research from the textbook, but you should conduct further research and work on those not illustrated in the textbook.Your discussion of the works of art should not be general summaries, but rather readings focused on how the work engages the theme you have chosen and how it relates historically and conceptually to the other works you have chosen. You should pay close attention to transitions between artworks you discuss and the way transitions help the reader follow your narrative and the overarching theme.
Students should arrange at least a meeting with the instructor by the end of February to consolidate the ideas and preview the selection of works. As such, students are expected to prepare a list of images, an abstract (250words), and three scholarly references.
Justice or Vengeance?
–
People do lots of fucked up things to each other. Sometimes even violent and illegal things, hence our system of justice. And justice is a complicated, complex subject, especially when the crimes being judged seem justifiable. The classic, cliched example is the man stealing food to feed his starving family. Is that better or worse than theft for fun or profit, or does motive make no difference? It’s these questions that have engaged generations of lawyers, judges, politicians, cops, philosophers, and pretty much everyone else. And it is this question of justification that we will be grappling with for this assignment, using two works of fiction as our examples. And here they are:

Readings:
Trifles by Susan Glaspell (play)

Thesis Question: Which crime/act of violence is more justifiable to you: the one committed by Ms. Wright, or the one committed by Mother Savage?
–
Notes:
This assignment uses standard academic format: an introduction that ends with a thesis, body paragraphs that each defend, explain, explore, or expand that thesis, and a conclusion that takes the conversation forward.
Avoid book reports! You are writing this paper to someone who has read both works. I do not need plot summary. Reference the stories to strengthen and explain your arguments, but use only what you need. Again, I know the events of both works so you don’t need to repeat them just to tell me what happened.
Each body paragraph should have a main idea that discusses YOUR THESIS, which is essentially YOUR OPINION. At this level, it’s a wise move to start each paragraph with the main idea of that paragraph (called a topic sentence). You don’t have to, but it will keep you focused. Regardless of where you put it in the paragraph, each one should have one sentence that is directly defending, explaining, exploring, or expanding YOUR THESIS.
Once more, this is a paper about YOUR IDEAS. Organize it that way. Try to discuss both works in each paragraph. This is a comparison/contrast paper, and you can’t compare only one thing. You’re telling me why you think one crime is more justified than the other. Stick with that throughout the paper.
(Discussion)
Choose ONE question to talk about.
1.What current day dominant and minority response patterns occurred during the colonial period?
2.What aspects of the Irish, Dutch or German experience can be applied to current immigrant groups? Select one of these groups and compare them to a specific group today (your choice).
3.Why didn’t all immigrants desire to become fully participating citizens in the country to which they moved? In your opinion, does this still apply today?
4.How did immigrants who were seeking religious freedom come to the New World with their own stereotyped beliefs, and how did this impact their relationship with other immigrants?
Think of a person (no names please) with whom you have experienced difficult communication. Identify the barriers to successful communication that were present in both you and the other person. Analyze your responses to that person. How could those barriers be overcome? Explain why nonverbal communication may be more revealing than verbal communication
For this assignment, you will create a 7 to 10 minute presentation using a tool such as one of the following:
YouTube (Links to an external site.)
Prezi (Links to an external site.)
Jing
You will investigate a concept from Modules 4-6 (DIKA, performance feedback, change, technology, etc.).
Consider a recent press release or corporate communication. Dissect that communication using a model or theory from the previous three modules and create a presentation that includes the original message and your critiques of that message. Explain not only the concept and applicable theories, but conduct an analysis of how this concept relates to, and can be improved in, your current or previous workplace. Be sure to integrate not only what you have learned over the previous modules and previous courses but current research on the topic.
