\n In this essay, you should analyze ONE of the texts we have read recently: any by Flannery O\u2019Connor, Willa Cather\u2019s \u201cPaul\u2019s Case,\u201d the poems by William Blake.\u00a0 Again,\u00a0please plan to submit your best effort even if it is not \u201cperfect.\u201d\u00a0I expect to see a focused argumentative thesis with supporting points based on textual analysis.\u00a0 Use the text as support, and do not stop short in your analysis.\u00a0 A quotation from the text will not illustrate your thesis on its own.\u00a0 You must tell the reader, through close reading and elaboration upon the quotation,\u00a0how\u00a0it illustrates your thesis.\u00a0 It is also better to elaborate in detail upon one example in a paragraph than to bring in too many undeveloped examples.\u00a0 Papers must also use MLA in-text citation style.\n <\/p>\n
\n Requirements:\n <\/p>\n
\n Respond to ONE of the following questions.1.\u00a0 The principal in Cather\u2019s \u201cPaul\u2019s Case,\u201d declares that \u201cthere was something about Paul that none of them understood.\u201d\u00a0As readers, what do we understand about Paul?\u00a0 What is his problem and what is he up against? Is there one extended example in the text, one paragraph, for example, that sums this up for you? Try focusing on and elaborating upon this detail.\n <\/p>\n
\n 2. Pick one story and identify the one moment that you believe is most important in the story. Begin your introduction by describing your example.\u00a0 Your thesis should explain WHAT the moment you have chosen represents or WHY it is so meaningful to the story. This could be, for example, the ending of the story, the moment at which Shephard, the father, neglects his son for the new boy, a particular passage that drew your interest, or anything else.\n <\/p>\n
\n 3. How do you think \u201cThe Lame Shall Enter First\u201d complicates our idea of a good parent? Do you ultimately sympathize with the father\u2019s desire to help theRufus Johnson? Or did he fail both him and his son? And in a twist on this topic, how do the fairy tales help us think about these questions.\u00a0 You do not have to write about ALL of these questions, but rather one or a combination.\n <\/p>\n
\n 4. How do any of the texts we have read explore the idea of what a child is?\u00a0Consider the ending of \u201cThe Snow Queen\u201d: \u201cUnless you can become as little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven?\u201d and \u201cThere they sat, two grown-ups and yet children, children at heart\u2026\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n 5. What moral categories or lessons do any of the stories examine and how does they comment on them? For example, it seems clear from \u201cThe Lame Shall Enter First\u201d that Shephard has a problem with religion, but also very strongly feels the absence of it in his life.\u00a0 How does he compensate? Other categories you might examine include guilt and innocence, love, or suffering and compassion, or deceitfulness.\n <\/p>\n
\n 6. Pick one minor character from \u201cThe Snow Queen\u201d and analyze in detail. What lesson can be derived from the character? How does the meaning of the story itself organize itself around these characters.\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
