write a thesis-driven essay that discusses your interpretation of two literary works based on a particular theme: Neil Gaiman’s “How To Talk To Girls At Parties” and Kristen Roupenian’s “Cat Person,” so make sure to review them before you begin the timed exam.

You will have a prompt; you will not be writing an essay on whatever you want but will be responding to a particular question.Remember that evidence to support your thesis statements should be provided in the form of DIRECT QUOTATIONS from the literary works you are discussing. It is not enough to simply describe the plot summary of a literary work. Your claims should be supported by quotes from the literature. You will also be required to quote from two secondary sources: the Horton article about Gaiman’s story, and either Treisman’s interview or Garber’s article about Roupenian’s story. This means you are required to cite from a minimum of four sources–the two primary texts and two secondary sources. In addition to relying on the literary works for evidence, you must incorporate secondary sources that are relevant to your argument.You have two hours (120 minutes)to complete an essay that includes a thesis that makes it is clear your essay will discuss two literary works together and properly introduced quotations that are cited. You are not required to create a Works Cited page, but there should be proper in-text citations in the body of the essay.

In addition to the other elements of effective writing and formal style, the grading will be based upon the degree to which the essay does the following: 1.presents a clear definition of the subject, describing its characteristics, its relationship with other, similar things, and its effects upon the issues with which it is involved.

2.exhibits a clear argument with convincing, detailed supporting evidence3.anticipates objections (counter-arguments) and successfully rebuts them4.employs effective paragraph structures5.has effective transitions among ideas6.uses appropriate grammatical structures

M is built around a series of very crafted repetitions. What themes might they be indicating?

Read Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address (included below) and read about the Analytical Tools discussed as “The Method” in your Writing Analytically text. Post one original finding from your analysis that you found “interesting” or “unusual”. Follow the directions below:–First, quote something or summarize ideas you found to repeat or to be in binary opposition to each other and then give us an explanation of why that was interesting to you. Remember, you dont need to know that much about the Battle of Gettysburg to answer. The point here is to show you how these simple analytical tools help you find meanings and patterns.–For those of you who are brave, see if you can find at least one binary opposition– that is, words or even synonyms, that seem to be in contrast with each other. What do you think about that? Share with the class.As the Forum develops, it will be interesting to see what Themes or “Strands” of ideas show up.

Choose one of the two following options, not both, only one of them. Either write a research paper, or write eight half to one-page preparation studies.

Research Paper Option. Select a text from Revelation, read the text carefully, research enough to find out what commentators agree on in your text and what the problems are. It is a good idea to check your text selection with the instructor. This is a good paper in which to explore some debated aspect or theme of Revelation, or a section you have grappled with for some reason. Explain your text as you understand it. It is appropriate to suggest an application of your text to contemporary life, but not before the last paragraph or two. Write about six pages of text. You may use either the footnotes / endnotes bibliographic style of citation, or the parenthetical-reference list style of citation. Do not take more than one page to get to your text or issue. Imagine that you are writing to a fellow student, one who is taking the course with you, but knows little about the matter you are researching. Preparation Studies Option. Imagine that you will lead a group of people in a study of the book of Revelation. They are reading the whole book of Revelation, but do not understand it at all. For eight evenings you will explain to them a different section of Revelation each evening. This assignment is designed to prepare you to lead this. Select eight texts from Revelation between three and fifteen verses long. Write at least half page, definitely not more than one page, on each of your eight texts. Each page will have the following five elements: (1) A title for that study at the top of the page, including the text references, i.e. Rev. 1:1-7. (2) A one-line brief statement of the core teaching of your text. Do this last. (3) A paragraph describing the text you have chosen. Observe the obvious – is your text a conversation? A picture? A conflict? An invitation? What happens? Who are the key characters? What is the tone? And so on. Pay close attention to what your text actually says. Dont interpret, dont be afraid to record the obvious, just observe. (4) A second paragraph describing how your text would have served the original first century readers. How would your text have helped Johns persecuted churches, to guide or warn or encourage them? (5) A third paragraph in which you show how your text might guide Christian life and loyalty and worship in the present time. That is, how would you apply the text? These preparation studies can be either single-spaced or double-spaced. You do not need to research this, although you may. A sample preparation study is included at the end of this syllabus.

Read the “Writing Guide” section and write a short 1-page reflection on how your reading and writing experiences have shaped you and upload it here. For a model of a Literacy Narrative, see pp. 32-33. It will “loosen you up” and get that “Editorial Boardroom in the Head” to sit back and have some coffee and donuts while your creative side goes about its business. After that, you can begin writing a more formal essay. To generate some ideas ask yourself these questions:– How did you respond to these experiences and what challenges, if any, did you confront?– What significant academic or professional experiences have you had with reading or writing?– What were your childhood experiences of reading and writing?Form: After you’ve given some of these ideas some thoughts and explored them, where would you like to start telling the story? You don’t just have to structure it in a linear way. You might even want to focus on one particular event and/or person and build the essay around that
