    Essay 2 Prompts/English G100/Spring 2024
    Select one prompt and write a claim-based essay in response to it. Make sure you
    have understood the prompt, spent adequate time on prewriting activities, and
    written a detailed outline before you begin writing.
    A
    In chapter 3 of A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf says that a woman born with
    a gift of poetry in the sixteenth century was an unhappy woman, a woman at
    strife against herself” (para. 10). What were the characteristics of such a strife
    then and what were its implications for the woman? To what extent does Woolf’s
    characterization apply to “a woman born with a gift of poetry” in the 21st century?
    B
    Analyze “Boys and Girls” by Alice Munro from a gender studies perspective. You
    may ask one or more of the following questions to generate ideas for your
    analysis:
    a) How does the work demonstrate the operations of patriarchy socially,
    politically, economically, or psychologically?
    b) How does the work play with traditional gender categories, revealing the
    biases and limitations of traditional definitions of gender?
    c) How does the protagonist either resist or internalize patriarchal
    oppression?
    C
    Franz Fanon makes a curious reference to “a multitude of sermonizers,
    counselors, and ‘confusion mongers’” in paragraph 8 of “On Violence.” He
    limits these questionable figures to capitalist societies. Examine our present
    cultural, political, religious, and general circumstances. Who and what are the
    modern equivalents of sermonizers, counselors, and “confusion mongers” in
    our popular culture? Where do you find them, and what do they propound?
    What is their message? What kinds of confusion do they seem to spread?
    D
    The most obvious opposition to Martin Luther King Jr.’s views on nonviolence
    and respect for the law is Franz Fanon in his “On Violence.” Examine their
    essays to see whether or not you can find common ground between them. For
    example, how would Fanon’s dichotomies of the colonized and the colonizer
    inform you about the forces at work In Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from
    Birmingham Jail?” Imagine Fanon and King discussing matters of politics,
    government, religion, or thought. What might they have agreed on, and where
    would they have diverged?
