Literature

I need you to write me an introduction for an essay. I only need the introduction (thesis/statement), not the full essay. It is about Anne Carson’s work on three books: Plain water; Glass, Irony, and God; Autobiography of red. This is about poetry. I will provide all the reading material and some examples of introductions from our teacher. I will send you the three books. it has to be an introduction with 300-500 words For more information on Introduction read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction

Read and answer the context:  The Paradis article allows some very practical assembly of several concepts we’ve studied so far – the role of the technical writer, legality, genre, ethics, and technology. The endnotes describe some of the origins of the stun gun, which may suggest it is not inherently a construction technology… but the question that hovers around this article for me is  “who is responsible? Mirel’s piece constitutes an argument for a rhetorical understanding and pedagogy of data reports – no surprise, again, given our previous readings. I wonder – is there a problem in technical communication that cannot be blithely answered by asking for a more rhetorical-critical-contextual understanding of documents, data, and the people assembling and composing them?

Guidelines: 1- As a general rule, the summary of each article should behalf of the original article.  That is, if the original article is 10 pages long, your summary can be 4 or 5 pages long. 2- Use the same organizational framework of the original article.  Let’s take an example: “The Relationship between Language and Culture” by David Elmes. Abstract   –  Your Summary   Introduction – Your Summary    Language and Culture –  Your Summary    The relationship between language and culture  – Your Summary    Implications for language education and language policy  – Your Summary    Concluding thoughts  – Your Summary Part Two: Personal Contributions   Here, you need to show how knowledgeable, you are, using the same patterns in your summary.   1. Language and culture   – Contribution  2. The relationship between language and culture   – Contribution  3.   Implications – Contribution 4.Conclusion  –  Contribution. 

 Try revising your points to give them some kind of organizational style.  Consider 3 ARGUMENT structure – make a claim and then each main point serves as an argument for that claim.   Or you can consider PROBLEM – CAUSE – SOLUTION structure where you address the problem in the first main point, what’s causing it in the second main point, and how to solve it in the third main point.

In the poem “Barbie Doll” Marge Piercy writes out the poem What was your purpose? What effect were you trying to achieve? What was interesting about the process you went through in writing this paper, and what did you learn from it? What was the most difficult about this paper, and what did you learn from the attempt? What do you see as the strengths of the paper, and what would you try to do if you were to revise it some more? What’s not a part of your paper that you think might help a reader understand or appreciate it more? What didn’t you put in? Are there certain events or feelings or memories that led you to write on this topic or to take this approach? What kind of feedback or response would you like from your instructor?

Now that you have created your outline, you are ready to begin drafting your literary analysis essay. In this learning module, you will review formal vs. informal writing and APA page formatting to guide you as you write your literary analysis. NOTE: To consider the short nature of this course, there is a three-day grace period for your essay submission. The essay is due on the last day of Week 3 (Sunday), and you are encouraged to submit the essay on time. However, you may submit your essay as late as Wednesday of Week 4 without any points deducted for late work. If you need the extra time, it is my hope that you take advantage of the opportunity to polish your essay so that you can earn the highest grade possible. Take advantage of the resources that Keiser University provides, such as the Keiser OWL; the English Help Center; and, for visiting students, your home campus’s Writing Studio.

So by now, you have read a lot of Emerson.  And a lot of you in your essays said that he is very confusing and at times frustrating, writer.  I totally agree.  We’ll be reading more of him, but we’ll also be transitioning to other writers, most specifically Henry David Thoreau (who is much, much easier to understand).  So this assignment is going to be a pretty straightforward one.  The prompt is: What do you think of Emerson? I want you to be VERY specific here. Don’t just say he’s confusing–tell me why and tell me the implications of that.  Many people have said that Emerson is confusing on purpose, and that is a kind of unkindness to his readers (I don’t disagree).  So talk about that kind of stuff.  You can write whatever you want in any kind of way you want; but again, be VERY specific.  The more specific the better. Use quotes, then talk about these quotes. Use Thoreau to help you explain Emerson, etc. Your essays should be at least two pages double spaced

In a 500 word essay, discuss how one of the poems you have chosen is an example of modern literature and the other poem you have chosen is an example of postmodern poetry. Use the lists of ideas from the module on modernism and postmodernism to help guide you through what are the elements of modernism vs postmodernism. Use quotes to identify the element of modernism or postmodernism you wish to discuss. Then use quotes from the poems you have chosen to discuss how they are examples of modernism or postmodernism. Think carefully about this.

(These are some tips that you can use to write this formal essay)This is an exercise where you explore a different view on the questions we have examined and give your own evaluation of the view’s value.  In other words, don’t spend time and effort trying to find out what other people think about the piece you have chosen to focus on.  Instead, after figuring out how to summarize the main argument or ideas proposed by the author, reflect on what your answers to the following questions are: Is the view proposed a good one?  If so, what makes it good?  Why might someone think it’s not good and how can you respond to that? If it’s not so good, what is wrong with it?  Can it be adjusted so that it becomes a better view?  Why might someone disagree with your evaluation or suggestion and how can you respond? Give reasons in support of your claims.  (In other words, what can you offer that might convince a rational person who does not already agree with you that the claims or ideas you are proposing are the most reasonable to accept?)If it seems helpful, you can mention how the ideas tie in with one or two of the other views we have considered but don’t spend too much time on that.  One might do this to indicate perhaps that the view under consideration is not completely new, that it shares ideas or aspects with another view generally accepted as good, but don’t make this the whole of your analysis.  Instead, think about the ideas that might work if put into effect in everyday life, whether they would be helpful (or not), whether they might work well for people/make their lives better (or not), things like that. In summarizing the author’s ideas or arguments, work on paraphrasing them.  A few short quotations are okay, but the explanation of the view should be primarily in your own words.  Do give citations for the ideas, however, as well as for quotations as we have been practicing. These are worth 75 points.  Don’t leave them until the last minute.  You want to have time to reflect on the ideas and also to make sure that the writing in your essay is good (there’s no sense losing points for carelessness).
