Examine Kindred as a neo-slave narrative: explore the connections between Kindred and the slave narratives we read earlier in the semester by Jacobs, Douglass, and Equiano. What traits do these narratives share? How is Kindred different—in other words, what makes it a neo-slave narrative? Ultimately, your essay should make an argument about what Kindredadds to our understanding of slavery. Examine Kindred as a neo-slave narrative: explore the connections between Kindred and the slave narratives we read earlier in the semester by Jacobs(Incidents in the life of a Slave Girl), Douglass (What to the Slave is the Fourth of July), and Equiano (The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano).

Directions   –Read the following chapters in Essentials of Children’s Literature, 9th edition. –Chapter 8: “Fantasy and Science Fiction” –Chapter 9: “Realistic Fiction”   –Chapter 10: “Historical Fiction” –Chapter 12: “Literature for a Diverse Society” –Go to a library or a good book store. The GCC library has many Newbery Award winners on reserve for your perusal. You need to read three Newbery Award winning chapter books. I prefer you choose books that cover three different genres as explained in the chapters read for this assignment from our course textbook (example: one book that is fantasy, one that is historical, and one that is representing a diverse society). –Write a response for each of the three selections you read.   –Use “Reader Response Theory” to write your responses. Reader Response Theory is a theory that asserts in the end, it is the informed reader, the text in that reader’s hands, and the analysis that occurs which informs a reader.  Think about it this way: A response is your thoughtful reaction to the text. What did you like? What puzzled you? How do you think children would react?  How might you use these books and their themes in a classroom setting or at home?  Would the settings affect the approach? How do these works compare to other chapter books you have encountered? Above all, enjoy the books. They are award winners because they are the favorites of children, and I hope you’ll find inspiration therein as well. Rubric Your response essay must: –show evidence of you having read Chapters 8, 9, 10 and 12 from Essentials of Children’s Literature 9th edition and three Newbery Award winning chapter books. –be a minimum of 1000 words. –utilize MLA manuscript format. –utilize MLA-style in-text citations from the stories and any other sources you have used. include an MLA-style work cited for the stories and any other sources you have used. –have a title. –utilize first person point of view/expressive “I” and/or third person (he, she, it). –not use second person point of view “you.” –utilize college level mechanics. –have no misspellings.v

Watch one (1) of the films listed below, (I would like to do it on The Hundred-Foot Journey). After careful consideration, discuss how that film explores one (just one) of the three main issues we’ve considered this semester. Analyze the film cinematically (specifically what we see and hear). Discuss specific shots, scenes, and sequences in terms of how their cinematic elements support your thesis. Weave all of this into a wonderful, fascinating, and coherent essay that makes me want to see the film again, enriched by your essay. This essay is only meant to be 1500 words. My professor changed just to mitigate the confusion. I assigned this to another writer two weeks ago and he didn’t complete it so I really need help on this.

Describe your level of competency in reading, writing, speaking and understanding languages other than English, and state how that ability was acquired.

INSTRUCTIONS- respond accordingly to the following text below ************************** Hello Class, I would like to begin an additional discussion here this week that touches on a modern controversial topic and debate, but one that I also believe is still very relevant to some of the literary and historic themes we have been studying… Emerson and Thoreau shared similar philosophies about the importance and power of nature, both in the human condition and within the overall existence of mankind. Although nature is unpredictable and can often seem to be unfair and even destructive (considering that the end of the natural course of life is ultimately death), these Transcendentalists focused on the renewing force of nature. They believed that by observing and understanding the perpetual and repeating cycle of nature, one can truly rejuvenate one’s soul, which can lead to emotional and spiritual rebirth during one’s lifetime. I believe that they considered this reckoning and accepting of the eventuality of nature as the key to human happiness and contentment. Here are two quotes from these authors that nicely and clearly represent their ideas: In “Circles” Emerson writes, “There is no end in nature, but every ending is a beginning; that there is always another dawn risen on mid-noon, and under every deep a lower deep opens. This fact, as far as it symbolizes the moral fact of the Unattainable, the flying Perfect, around which the hands of man can never meet…” In Walden’s “Pond in Winter,” Thoreau states, “Our notions of law and harmony are commonly confined to those instances we detect; but the harmony results from a far greater number of seemingly conflicting, but really concurring, laws, which we have not detected, is still more wonderful.” ADDITIONAL FORUM TOPIC There was much controversy a couple years ago about Dr. Walter Palmer hunting and killing a beloved South African lion named Cecil. Although the killing may have been technically legal, at the time, most people convicted him in the court of moral and public opinion (research past articles about this story if you need to refresh your memory). Considering last week’s discussion about natural law verses man-made or human law, which is the more relevant “law” represented in this case and why? Also, what do you think Emerson and Thoreau would have thought about this incident relative to their perception of nature and its relationship to humanity?

Here you will enter your three-page , dialogue-driven, short story to the blog. The goal is to have it be a conversation, like “Hills Like White Elephants,” between two characters with a conflict. This conflict can be whatever you imagine, and the relationship can be between any two people of your choice.Here are some questions to keep in mind while writing. ( not to answer )Does the story enter the conversation late?Does it keep dialogue tags simple or is there too many?What about descriptive beats? Is there enough or too much?Does each character sound distinct? Where? Where not?Jumping off that, Does the story develop character relationship? This we learn in the things they say and how they say it?Does the story show and not tell?Does the story bounce back and forth, or does one talk too long and too much?Read the story out loud. How does it sound? Clunky or awkward? Do the jokes not land quite right? Where? How can they improve it?Can any dialogue be removed? In other words, would narration be better at any moment? (think of the short narrative bits in “Hills Like White Elephants”
