Rossetti’s Goblin Market in combination with García Márquez’s “Death Constant Beyond Love” and claim that both works show how desire tempts people to lose control of their reason and may even have lethal consequences.Consistent with the thematic units of the course, this essay asks that you explore one or two of the literary texts on the syllabus from the perspective of one of the following course themes: heroism, love, desire, tragedy, social diversity, and social change. You may choose any text(s) for analysis and investigate it through any one of the themes. Please note well that this essay asks for you to determine what comment the author is making about the theme in question. The paper cannot merely report that the theme emerges in the work because that kind of perspective is typically self-evident and provides no basis for argument.Claim. Be sure to include a clear, arguable claim that states how the text(s) develops the theme in question. For instance, you might pick Rossetti’s Goblin Market in combination with García Márquez’s “Death Constant Beyond Love” and claim that both works show how desire tempts people to lose control of their reason and may even have lethal consequences. A solid claim always requires your providing a strong supply of evidence for demonstration.Development. Through the use of quotations and paraphrases, assemble enough relevant textual evidence to sufficiently backup the claim. Also, craft an introduction, body, and conclusion to give your essay the shape and focus demanded by its audience.For this paper, you must integrate evidence from the primary text(s) as well as from two secondary sources, which must be of the scholarly variety. Excellent databases for scholarly articles include The Literary Reference Center, Literature Online (LION) (ProQuest), and MLA International Bibliography. Access them through GALILEO and cite them using MLA style on a separate Works Cited page. You may also use paper sources found in MGA libraries, but under no circumstances draw on any sources, such as Wikipedia, found on the Web.Audience. Attend to your academic audience’s needs. Anticipate its knowledge level, concerns, values, and possible biases about your claim (especially if you pose a controversial claim).Cohesion. Deploy words, phrases, and clauses as well as varied syntax (word order) to link the major sections of the text. The sense of cohesion generated should also clarify the relationship between the claim and evidence.Conventions. Modify your language to create a formal, objective tone that demonstrates standard English conventions of usage and mechanics while attending to the norms of MLA Style. Such norms include the use of one-inch margins, headers, double spacing, italics for titles (e.g. Endgame), quotation marks for titles of short stories and poems (e.g. “To Autumn”), Times New Roman or Calibri font size twelve, and documentation (in-text citations and a Works Cited page).

Choose ONE question from Part B (on the
representation of the Irish) and write for each a separate, interesting, coherent, detailed, and well supported essay of about 750 words or more in response. You will not be penalized for exceeding 750
words per essay, but you will be penalized for continuing to write after you run out of thoughtful things
to say. You may also be penalized for omitting crucial examples.
One of your objectives in writing your essays is to demonstrate your thorough reading and
comprehension of all the plays so far: The Brave Irishman, or Captain O’Blunder; Making History;
Cathleen ni Houlihan; The Rising of the Moon; Spreading the News; In the Shadow of the Glen; The
Playboy of the Western World; Riders to the Sea; and Juno and the Paycock. You should not try to cover
all these plays in both essays, but you should be sure to say something interesting and intelligent about
each play over the course of the two essays combined. Because you cannot write at length about each
play, you will need to be selective and judicious, matching the question to the most pertinent plays and
then choosing the best example(s) or the most relevant passage(s) from those plays.
I am not expecting polished prose, but you should probably
revise at least once for clarity and concision. You do not need endnotes or a work-cited page if you are
working only with the texts we’ve read for class, and you are not required to use any additional sources.
If you do use additional sources, however, you should acknowledge them within your text (e.g., As
Seamus Deane suggests, “Christy Mahan may be read as a Christ figure . . . “) and provide a full
bibliographic citation at the end of your essay. If you quote or paraphrase from one of our plays, please
give the page number in parentheses at the end of the last sentence of quotation or paraphrase (#).
PART B – REPRESENTATIONS OF THE IRISH AND IRISH CULTURE
1. In her statement on the founding of the Irish Literary Theatre, Lady Gregory proclaimed that “We will
show that Ireland is not the home of buffoonery and of easy sentiment, as it has been represented, but
the home of an ancient idealism.” To what extent do you think this is true of the plays we’ve
encountered thus far? Have we seen characters who are buffoons? Have we seen overtly sentimental
characters? (You might think of Captain O’Blunder as a sort of partial example of both the buffoonery
and the sentimentalism that Lady Gregory wishes to turn away from.) Which plays, if any, have
illustrated an “idealism”?
2. Comment on the representation of Irish men and of Irish women among the rural poor and the urban
working class. What are the difficulties they encounter in their conditions? What difficulties are
peculiar to the men? To the women? What weaknesses and strengths of character do the plays point to
among the men? Among the women?
3. Comment on the representation of the relation of the Irish people to the law in some of the plays
we’ve read.

4. In Making History, Mabel and Hugh O’Neill discuss the question of whether or not the Irish can be
considered united. What other plays implicitly or explicitly question the idea or possibility of Irish unity?
Which plays, if any, suggest that the Irish are unified or can be unified? Explain.

5. As a (romantic) comedy, The Brave Irishman concludes with the implication of generational
continuity: there will be (hybrid) children and the O’Blunder and Trader genes will be passed on
indefinitely. Consider plays that, in contrast, foresee the possibility of generational discontinuity or
highlight obstacles to continuity. What are the obstacles to continuity? How serious are they?
6. Make up your own question about a theme or phenomenon within the plays we’ve read that strikes
you as distinctively Irish. Make the question a good one. Answer it.
NEED DONE BY MIDNIGHT PLEASE 🙂

Read at least three biographies on the same person. Be sure the biographies fall into the “children’s literature” category. (I recommend a nice mix of picturebooks, first readers and chapterbooks.) In essay or chart/diagram format, analyze the differences and similarities in the way in which each of the authors tell that person’s life story.

You might note that some authors primarily use pictures. Some authors focus on one or two major life events. Some use a narrative format; others use dates, dates and more dates. Discuss the significance of the methods. When is one way more effective or appropriate than another?

For examples and further discussion of this assignment, reread pp. 149-150 in your textbook.

If you choose to complete the assignment as an essay, please use MLA format.

Nature as Consolation for Loss
In a maximum of 500 words, please write a complete essay (thesis statement, body, conclusion) in which you discuss the identity of nature as represented by the “Indian ponies” in James Wright’s “A Blessing.” What do the ponies symbolize in the poem? What is so special about the world of nature that the speaker and their companion enter when they step over the barbed wire and enter the pasture where the ponies are grazing? Why do you think the speaker’s encounter with the ponies is so intensely meaningful to them? What might this encounter be compensating for? Speculate and use examples from the poem.

My essay is based off of the book “the road”, pages 138-152. It is an AP Lit high school essay response type, so it should have an intro with claim/warrant. My teacher wants us to use at least 2 literary devices/techniques as support ( 1 per paragraph). Each device should have one or two quotes from the corresponding part of the book along with commentary/explanation of it. My prompt wants me to talk about the relationship between the dad in son in this specific scene, and describe how their relationship changed. I am attaching the grading rubric for an A (5/6 points) and also a pdf with exemplary example essays; essays A and C are 6/6. The main source is the book

This week, we are delving into how authors use their literary works as social commentary. This can be a general commentary related to what is going on in society such as in Frankenstein; as a means to enact change such as in The Jungle; or as telling of an experience, such as in Persepolis. 

Initial Response

Choose one of the three works used as examples in Module 4 course content (Frankenstein, The Jungle, or Persepolis). If you have works of your own that you wish to use, let me know ahead of time.

Although I am not opposed to you choosing a different work outside of these, I think these three are good representations of three different types of literary criticisms. I provided videos and/or excerpts of each of these works in the course content area of the course. You are welcome to use this excerpt or find another one online (they are easy to find). I do not expect you to read the entire work although you are welcome to!

In your Primary  Post answer the following:

What literary work did you choose and who is the author?

Provide a brief 2-3 sentence summary of the work in your own words. 

Why is this work considered a social commentary/literary criticism? 

Give at least three examples of literary devices (i.e. theme, symbolism, etc) that support the idea that the author is commenting on. For example, if you chose Frankenstein, the author has many different themes such as the dangers of science, isolation, creation. How does the author convey one of these themes?

I didn’t see any free files so hopefully you can shell out $7.99 to get it on amazon, I’ll definitely add tips and pay you back.
In literature, often the author reveals the characters gradually, through the dramatic method, in which the reader must infer what motives and feelings lie behind what the characters say and do. You are analyzing one character (not Calvin) from the novel, expressing an opinion about that character and supporting your opinion with evidence from the story. Note the author’s methods of characterization: what the character says or thinks, the character’s actions, what others say about the character, and the character’s appearance. After you have made your notes, look at them and decide what they reveal about the character and what your opinion is based on what you have found about the character. Select quotations which are most revealing, which illustrate different methods of characterization. It should be about 5-6 paragraphs. Para. 1 The 1st paragraph should include a very short summary of how the character fits into the story and your opinion of your chosen character. In 1 or 2 “telling” sentences, describe your opinion of this character in your own words. State the source (author and title of the novel in italics) in the 1st sentence of your introduction, and your thesis sentence should map out your essay, listing 3-4 of the author’s methods of characterization. Para. 2 The 2nd paragraph (1st body paragraph) should transition into the 1st method of characterization. Introduce an example, giving background as to the scene. Quote a couple of carefully selected, revealing examples from the text, indicating the page reference in parenthesis. Comment on the significance of each example, that is, how does each example show your “telling” sentence? Para. 3 -5 Continue as in Para. 2 only with different methods and different examples. Para. 6 or last paragraph Use a conclusion transition and conclude with a rephrasing of your inferences and/or your final thoughts about how this character fits into the novel as a whole. Remember the PIE structure: state your opinion of the character in the intro – the point you want to convey to your readers (P), the 2nd, 3rd , 4th
