  • “The Power of Images: Exploring the Emotional Impact of Artwork Depicting Grief”

    Topic
    This essay will explore how images can elicit a response from the viewer.  Choose to either research artworks that depict anger OR grief.  NOT BOTH.  Each body paragraph should then seek to connect the image to either sadness or ire in the viewer.  This paper requires research.  A painting of a bread line during WWII might be something that shows the sadness of innocents getting caught in conflict.  A news report talking about malnutrition in the hospitals at the time the painting was produced with a grieving mother talking about her own strength ebbing away from lack of food would be the kind of support that would be very convincing.  You might see obvious sorrow, but it’s important to research and connect it to support that will convince the reader.
    You might consider organizing the paragraphs by Artist.  The early work of Picasso shows the grief of loss, later the grief of dissonance, and finally the grief of solitude  You might have multiple paintings from each part of his life or you might have a single image in each paragraph that you analyze in depth. 
    Choose a subject that you can engage the discussion intelligently and creatively. Write about something you know at least the basics of and are interested in learning more about it by “reading” into it more critically.
    Do not structure your essay by simply answering questions. Questions serve as guidelines to explore your topic in depth; they should not dictate the structure of your essay. Have a unifying and “closed” thesis, followed by solid topic sentences that cue your reader throughout the essay. Be sure to end your essay with a satisfying conclusion that leaves a lasting impressive on your reader. Avoid simply summarizing your main points.
    ♦Due Date: Essays are due at the end of the day
    An outline is a great way to start.  Let me know if you need help after sketching out the paper.
    ♦Requirements:
    Length: 3- 5 pages, double-spaced.
    On your first page, have all the identifying information on the LEFT hand corner:
    Your Name
    ENGL103: Essay 1
    Due Date
    Have a creative and enticing title that reflects the content of your essay or the nature of your argument.
    Format: Use regular fonts such as Times New Roman, 12-point, with one-inch margins on all sides.
    A Works Cited page, done according to MLA style, is needed. The Works Cited page does not count towards the length requirement.
    Engage at least three outside sources.  
    Follow MLA style for all in-text and bibliographical citations. One letter grade will be taken off if the correct MLA style is not followed. When in doubt, check Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/Links to an external site.) or SOL, pages 58-62.
    ♦Other Important Matters to Consider:
    Avoid using second person pronoun, “you,” in formal essays.
    This is an academic essay, so use vocabulary and a writing style appropriate for an intelligent reader. Employ action verbs, eliminate be-verbs, and avoid filler words such as, “What I am trying to say is that….”
    This is not a very long essay, so do not use block quotes. As a general rule, if more than 20% of your essay is quotes or paraphrased ideas, you may have used too many quotes or others’ ideas, and have not presented enough of your own thoughts and analyses.
    Cite your sources accurately and responsibility to avoid plagiarism. Attribute your sources properly.

  • “The Significance of Character Motivation in Oedipus the King and Othello: A Close Analysis”

    Write a short essay (1000 words) that defends a thesis you developed through a close critical reading/analysis of one (or two) literary works listed in this week’s module and supported by at least two secondary sources. Do not confuse “critical analysis” with “plot summary”; the goal is to develop, sustain, and advance a thesis based on a critique of the primary text but supported in part by at least two secondary source.   A list of potential topics is below. 
    Analyze key characters from one or more plays in this book. What motivates these characters? Point to specific moments in the play to make your case
    Write an analysis essay in which you single out an element of one or more plays for examination- character, plot, setting, theme, dramatic irony, tone, language, symbolism, conventions, or any other element. Try to relate this element to the play as a whole. For example, “The Function of Teiresias in Oedipus the King,” “Imagery of Poison in Othello,” etc.
    From a play you have enjoyed, choose a passage that strikes you as difficult, worth reading closely. Try to pick a passage not longer than about 20 lines. Explicate it- give it a close, sentence-by sentence reading- and explain how this small part of the play relates to the whole. For instance, any of the following passages might be considered memorable (and essential to their plays):
    Othello’s soliloquy beginning “It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul” (Othello, 5.2.1-22)
    Oedipus to Teiresias, speech beginning “Wealth, power, craft of statesmanship!” (Oedipus the King, 1.163-86)
