Literature

– 100% ORIGINAL. It will go through Turnitin.- The love of Romeo for Juliet, Orlando for Rosalind, and Hamlet for Ophelia – how do these three men love? Is Shakespeare a feminist maybe? What is common between the way they love their women and what differs?-You should provide sufficient evidence (examples, quotations, interpretation of particular images) that support your central claim. Try to decide how relevant and credible these statements are as support for your thesis. Consider whether together they provide sufficient grounds for your readers to agree with your thesis. The relevance of the sources that you have selected, as well as the relevance of the quotations, paraphrases and summaries you have incorporated in the text will add to the quality of your support. They will also add to your ethos. What you say should be related to what they say. Importantly, your voice should be heard, too. You cannot afford to quote and paraphrase only.-The introduction should provide information that is relevant to the debatable question. It should also be sufficient to enable your readers to understand what exactly that question is, why it is debatable, and why you have taken the position that you state in your thesis. Depending on the topic, you could give a brief historical account or focus on the social significance of the issue. You should also inform the reader about the controversy around your topic. The thesis, i.e. your thesis—the sentence or pair of sentences containing the direct statement of your position/ main claim on the topic— should clearly state your position / main claim and indicate the shape of your argument. The thesis, which usually comes at the end of the intro, had better “telegraph” for the reader the content of the main body of the paper.I have included some academic articles that may or may not be useful.

Watch the film The Importance of Being Earnest. This is a 2002 film with Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, and Reese Witherspoon.  Watching a film or stage version can create a different interpretation of a work of literature than simply reading it.  In a post of at least 250 words, comment on one or two things in the film that either enhanced your understanding of the play or changed your interpretation.  For example, was there a pun or joke you did not understand in the play that became clear when you watched the film? You can also challenge an interpretation of the film.  Was a scene or character portrayed in a different way than you imagined?  Do you think the filmmakers got something “wrong”?

Please write your response to one of the texts included in this folder. Your response (at least 800 words in total) should have the following four sections: 1. Literal comprehension: In this section, summarize the text, by highlighting the main argument and including the details used in the reading. Try to represent the essay the way it is so that your response gives readers a comprehensive sense of the text. Avoid making any comments at this point. Your task is to describe the argument in your words as literally as possible. Please avoid being trapped in the discussion of arrangement. For this section, many students automatically start writing how the essay starts, what is there in the middle, or how it ends. That is too easy and does not take much intellectual exercise. Summarize the reading holistically so that everything important is incorporated.   2. Interpretation: This section should interpret the text. Interpreting a text means deciphering how a text generates a message. So, think of these questions as you work for this section: What message or meaning is the writer trying to impart? How does the writer do that? What writing and rhetorical strategies does the writer use to generate that meaning or message?  What assumptions does the writer make about the subject matter and readers? What is stated clearly, and what is implied. Thus, your tasks in this section is to explain the text by using your close readings skills.   3. Critical Thinking: This section is reserved for your evaluation of the text. Using your critical thinking skills, discuss the strengths and limitations of the argument in the reading, and then present your judgment on the writer’s success to achieve the purpose. The following questions can help you with critical thinking: Is the argument valid? Too what extent? What unwarranted assumptions does the writer make? What important elements are not discussed? What details could the writer have included? What viewpoint does the writer emphasize? Does the writer’s emphasis on one thing undermine another kind of perspective? How would have the writer come up with a better argument? 4. Assimilation: Now, in this section, state your view on the subject matter. To what extent do you agree with the writer, and where are your views going to be different? You can also discuss how your perspective changed because of the text, and what you are going to do with this knowledge. Your task in this section is to demonstrate that you can assimilate other people’s ideas with your thoughts and use them constructively.

Course: The Renaissance and Early Seventeenth Century British Literature 8 pages (double spaced) with 5 (minimum) sources.  ONLY USE SCHOLARLY ARTICLES.  Topic of Paper:  Robert Herrick and the Ambiguities of Gender Instructions from Professor: Beyond the obvious—i.e., a researched, creative, and insightful argument about the chosen text(s)—be sure to include the following:                                     *a clearly stated thesis somewhere near the beginning of the essay                         *proper format, including a Works Cited page in MLA *when dealing with poetry, please use line breaks, and cite by line number not page                                     *talk about texts in the present tense!                                     *remember: sentences containing quotations should remain grammatically correct! *an account of the literary-critical context. Who else is talking about this subject and how have they contributed to your own research or framed the question that you are now addressing?  This is where I expect you to draw on your critical narrative. *this requires an attempted interaction with larger critical arguments rather than just a selected sentence or two from their work.  *a consideration of the implications of your argument (this can be very brief, and it is often a solid way to conclude an academic essay)   By the way, avoid this construction:                         “According to critic [author] in his/her essay, [long extended title], [author] states…” I cannot tell you how many times I read that type of thing in the critical narrative.  A better way to put it:                         “[Author] states…” I can always find the name of the essay on the Works Cited page.   Otherwise, please strive for clear, precise, and concise prose!  A great way to make sure that you’re writing like a regular human is to read your own essay aloud to yourself; does it sound like something someone might actually say?  Can you follow it?

Part 1: Some of the more characteristic doctrines of the Enlightenment focused on the power and goodness of human rationality:1) Reason is the most significant and positive capacity of the human;2) reason enables one to break free from primitive, dogmatic, and superstitious beliefs holding one in the bonds of irrationality and ignorance;3) in realizing the liberating potential of reason, one not only learns to think correctly, but to act correctly as well;4) through philosophical and scientific progress, reason can lead humanity as a whole to a state of earthly perfection;5) reason makes all humans equal and, therefore, deserving of equal liberty and treatment before the law;6) beliefs of any sort should be accepted only on the basis of reason, and not on traditional or priestly authority;7) all human endeavors should seek to impart and develop knowledge, not feelings or character. (pbs.com)Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson embodied the Age of Enlightenment. Use your choice of three of the seven doctrines to explain and prove these author’s philosophies.
