  • “The Timeless Power of Poetry: A Comparative Analysis of Genre and Its Impact on Literature” Exploring Timeless Literary Techniques Across Genres: A Comparative Analysis of Poetry in Today’s Writing World

    Write a standard five-paragraph essay in MLA format focusing on one or more genres of poetry as you compare and contrast two poems found in the same genre or across genres. These genres, from a broader scope are not limited to, the lyric, that contains lyrical components, narrative, metaphysical poetry or dramatic forms. Of the poems we have discussed, the central genre  of the sonnets (“Sonnet 18”), metaphysical poetry
    (“The Flea” and “Batter my Heart”), the ode (“Ode on a Grecian Urn”), the elegy/confessional (“Daddy”), lyrical poetry in Psalm 23 (Pastoral Poetry) or “Those Winter Sundays” (lyrical ballad similar to the sonnet form), and “The Red Wheelbarrow” (Imagism) are among the predominant forms for the analysis. The comparison should be based on the differences and similarities shown through an examination of writing styles, literary techniques, rhyme and meter, the speaker’s persona, symbols, among other patterns that sculpt, as well as contribute to the definition of the genre or genres. Pinpoint specific structural and syntactical differences influencing the description of the genre or genres as you analyze two poems in a genre. In the introduction, explain how the similarities and differences found through an examination of the syntactical, structural, and technical forms can be used to define one central thematic or symbolic similarity within the context of the genre or across genres. This will tie into a Structuralist approach to analyze literature from a literary critic’s standpoint. Analyze several differences that can be pinpointed based on the speaker’s structural, technical, and syntactical points, directly contrasting to the similarities found. Firstly, define the genre or genres. Based on your comparison and contrast of the most frequently used components pertaining to syntax, structural, and technical components, such as literary devices/tehnical devices. Indicate whether you would minimize the definition of the genre based on the number of contrasting points you have found in a genre. On the other hand, you may explain if you would expand it based on the number of similarities you find across genres, or if you found more similarities than are generally seen in one genre of choice.  The thesis may consist of two sentences at the end of the introduction. The thesis should encompass an explanation of how the two poems of your choice make the genre or genres multifaceted. In the entirety of the paper, focus on the following two points: 1. Based on your comparison, should the definition of the genre or genres be expanded? Why or why not? 2. On the other hand, should the definition be minimized when referring to the standard definition of the genre or definitions of the genres? Why or why not? If the definition of the genre or definitions of the genres can be expanded, how would this impact the power of the verse within the genre or genres tied to a real-world contextualization of the work from a scholarly standpoint? If the definition of the genre or genres could be minimized, how can the genre or genres be seen more specifically within a real-world context based on your definition from a scholarly approach? Explain how the components you have analyzed in connection to the prose within the genre or genres can be found in real-world writings today to reiterate the concept of the contextualization of the timelessness of the genre or genres as a focal point of the thesis. In the three body paragraphs, cite at least one to two claims, as well as one to two citations in each body paragraph from the poem and a scholarly source to analyze based on your comparison and contrast of the two poems. Explain how the power of the verse in each poem emanates timeless components that can still be found in other forms of writing in our world today. Include at least one citation in each body paragraph from one credible source that best exemplifies how these similarities can be found within and across genres. The three body paragraphs should directly tie into the comparison and contrast within and across genres based on the specific types of writings found in our world today, whether it be periodicals, blogs, or other types of social media that are credible sources. Remember, at least one claim and at least one citation is required in each body paragraph based on your analysis and critique. It is required that there is at least one article cited, as well as the poem should be cited in this assignment. In the conclusion paragraph, explain how you contextualized the poems within a timetable of the popularity of the genre or genres based on the poems you analyze as you tie the central components into real-world writings that are timeless. Choose two poems to compare that we have discussed. Describe how you can place them within the context of your own specific, scholarly definition of the genre or genres that you have pinpointed to enhance your audience’s grasp of the timelessness of the literary techniques and components defining the genre or genres. Focus on the central components that best exemplify the genre or genres in the paper. Reiterate how certain aspects found in these forms of writing can still be shown through various real-world writings in our world today in the conclusion paragraph.
    On the Audience:
    Explain why your audience should find poetry in this genre or these genres to be relevant in our world today. Write to those that are fluent in current media who want to discover the importance of how past writings have laid the foundation for mainstream writings today. Analyze the structural and syntactical components in the poems within the genre or across genres in a way that expresses how they relate to real-world writers or readers. Balance between formal and informal styles of writing to emphasize certain concepts. The paper should always be predominately written in a formal, active voice.
    On the Purpose:
    The purpose of this assignment is to explain the definition of the genre or genres based on your interpretation of two poems in relation to the importance of the similarities and contrasting points in these literary works that can still be found in current modes of writing. Through this assignment, the purpose will reiterate a reflexive emphasis on the flexibility of the techniques defining the most essential components within a genre or across genres. You, as the scholar, will be able to apply your critique of the definition of the genre or genres within a greater context through applying the analysis of genre or genres to real-world writings today.
    The sources used should be from the writing: “The Flea” and “Batter my Heart”,  “Ode on a Grecian Urn”, “Daddy”,  Psalm 23, or “Those Winter Sundays” , and “The Red Wheelbarrow” 

  • “My Playing Field: A Sociological Analysis of Family, Gender, and Social Class” “The Impact of Experiences on the Playing Field: Applying Research Data and Making Predictions for the Future” “The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Plagiarism in Higher Education”

    Sociology 1 Paper 2: My Playing Field Application and Analysis
    Instructions For Paper 2
    The assignment is to apply the course material to your specific playing field/your life and analyze your playing field/life from a sociological perspective. Make sure you have reviewed your notes from the online lecture titled “The Family” as the concept “playing field” is introduced in that lecture and that you understand the concept “playing field” before you begin this assignment (review online Family lecture).
    The assignment is to discuss three main characteristics of your playing field and explain how each has affected you. You are required to include family as one of your main topics and must choose from the following main topics for your other two main topics: gender, social class, education, race and ethnicity, or religion. Your paper must include one very lengthy paragraph for each of the three main topics you have chosen.
    You will apply the course material and subtopics covered in the course materials on each main topic to examples of your specific playing field and your specific experiences; directly relate the material and subtopics presented in the course material on each main topic to your specific experiences. Each main topic section must include at least six subtopics. In terms of subtopics, each of the topics covered in the lectures, chapters in the textbook, assigned articles, and films/film clips for each main topic are considered subtopics. For example some of the subtopics associated with the main topic gender are: gender socialization, gender role expectations, gender inequality, patriarchy, pay gap (data), glass ceiling, male privilege, glass escalator, second shift, gendered division of labor, gender and the media/Kilbourne research, feminization of poverty, feminism, etc. You are required to discuss your specific experiences on each of the subtopics you include in your paper, directly apply the material. You must apply the terms/concepts, research data/findings, and social theories related to the main topics to your playing field/your experiences. Go through the chapters in the textbook, online lectures, and articles/other course material provided in the lessons on each of the main topics you are including in your paper and apply the relevant material to your playing field/your experiences (this is the way you will go about working on this assignment). It is required that you utilize the online lectures material, textbook material, and articles/other course material for each main topics included in your paper.
    A minimum of six instances of application of terms/concepts/research data is required in each main topic section (application of the material with each subtopic); a minimum of eighteen instances of application of terms/concepts/research data throughout your paper. Clear and complete application and analysis required. In some instances a subtopic is a key term (for instance, patriarchy is a subtopic and a key term), in other instances this is not the case (divorce is a subtopic for a family section, however, it is a common word, not a key term…you would need to apply the research data on divorce – causes and effects – to be considered application).
    It is also required that you apply a minimum of one social theory in each main topic section; a minimum of three social theories are required throughout your paper. It is required that you utilize at least three different theories throughout your paper and that at least one of the theories included is one of our three main theories. Apply the social theories presented in the course material: structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, social learning theory, or theories of deviance. Theories must be directly applied to your specific playing field/experiences. Do not discuss the theories in general, directly apply them to your playing field and your experiences and explain application. Explain the theory and explain application. Social theory can be applied to a specific example or can be applied to the overall theme of the main topic section. Clear and complete application and analysis is required.
    In some instances students will need to predict the long term effects of particular experiences, predict according to the research data/findings on the topics. In terms of predictions ask yourself, how, according to the data presented in the course, the events have affected you or will affect you in the future. If the effects presented in the research/study findings for a particular issue do not apply to you then you can state what the effects generally are (according to the research data/findings) and then discuss what the outcome(s) were for you and explain why.
    It is not required that you include sensitive issues if you are not comfortable doing so. In this case it is suggested that you focus on other aspects of your playing field.
    Important information on how to work on your outline for this assignment
    The best way to go about working on your paper is to go through the course material for each main topic you have chosen to include in your paper (online lectures, chapters in the textbook, and articles/other course material from the lesson plan on the main topic) and make a list of the subtopics and material/data/key terms/theories that you will include in each main topic section.
