Prompt

In some ways, this is a free-wheeling response paper to your experience reading and watching Young Jean Lee’s play We’re Gonna Die. What do you think the performance is asking you to feel or think, as a viewer? What was it ultimately about? What moments stuck out for you, and helped contribute to and shape your overall understanding of the play? You should feel free to cite specific moments, scenes, or songs to help make your point. You’ll need to include at least two of the secondary sources from GoogleClassroom that help you make your point about what this play, ultimately, was about. You should feel free to use “I” in this paper, to narrate your experience watching and reading the play, and your reactions to it. This should not, however, be a review; we all read/watched it, we don’t need persuading as to why we must see it — but you can argue that we should see it in a particular way.

Plath, Moore, and Brooks

Kristine Tucker on Plath:

The modernist era started early in the 20th century and continued through the mid-1960s. Modernist techniques followed less formal, unconventional writing styles and focused on individualism, self-expression, emotionalism and self-identity. Plath’s poems clearly express the emotional turmoil and internal struggles she faced, including severe depression and mental anguish over her father’s death. She embraced the modernist period and wrote with honesty and transparency, revealing her inner thoughts and emotions without holding back.

Of Gwendolyn Brooks, Poet.org notes the following:

Her poems distill the very best aspects of Modernist style with the sounds and shapes of various African-American forms and idioms. Brooks is a consummate portraitist who found worlds in the community she wrote out of, and her innovations as a sonneteer remain an inspiration to more than one generation of poets who have come after her. Her career as a whole also offers an example of an artist who was willing to respond and evolve in the face of the dramatic historical, political, and aesthetic changes and challenges she lived through.

Explain how the poetry of Moore, Brooks, and Plath exemplifies the idea that “The raw material for poetry abounds, it is everywhere.” Use a line from a poem from each poet in your response.

The article shows different things about RCWs they also show how the population went down.And how over 30 years their population has gone down.In the article is said “As of 2008,there were an estimated 14,000 to 15,000 adult RCWs.”The owner of the articles name is Nathan Pool.The author Nathan is providing us with information about the RCWs geo range,physical description,habitat,and reproduction.As we read through the information we rarely see a lot of photos of the RCWs.But as I read the article I would love to know more about what exactly making the RCWs extinct.But thanks to the article it helps to learn more about RCWs.

RCWs(fws)

This article also shows different information about RCWs.They show information about their habitats and their geographical range.In the article it states “As of 1999, the largest populations were located along the coasts of South Carolina and Florida, encompassing a contiguous range of 4,000 square kilometers.”The author of this article is Susan Miller she studied RCWs.She even showed a picture of her holding RCWs when their in their baby stage.The author made this article to inform people about the almost instinct RCWs.

English Question

As globalism increases in importance in the 21st century, world literature is becoming more accessible and vital than ever. Readers around the world can learn much from other countries’ culture, values, narratives, and aesthetics to promote global harmony and expand their own horizons. To demonstrate the ways in which you are learning about the effects of world literature, you will write a brief essay that demonstrates a close reading of a particular World Literature text, making connections to other World Literature texts and thinking critically about how the work is relevant to 21st-century readers. A 4-5 page literary essay needs to be written in MLA format and a works cited page. Specific details are listed below.

  • Select a specific World Literature text to be the focus of your literary research paper (your primary source). Your choice.
  • Find at least one recent journal article about your chosen text, topic, and/or author, using our library databases. If you can’t find an article, you may try Google Scholar, Project MUSE, or other databases.
  • Gather at least three other sources to compare, interpret, analyze, or otherwise connect to your chosen World Literature text, and make Work Cited entries for all of the sources you’re planning to use, including the primary source. Thus, have at least five (5) sources on your paper’s Works Cited Page.

Guidelines to Follow

Here are some guidelines for structuring your research paper:

  • In your introductory paragraph, identify your chosen text and author(s), describe the culture, era, and place that produced the text, and otherwise give some background as if your reader does not know the work in question. End your first paragraph with a thesis that briefly alludes to (a) how you’ll connect the literary work to other works of world literature, and (b) why the work is still relevant to read in a 21st century classroom.
  • In your second paragraph, summarize the literary work in your own words. This should be no more than one paragraph; provide a shortened synopsis of the work that will be informative for the reader.
  • In your third paragraph, identify the article you found in step #2 and explain some current critical views of the literary work. What are other scholars saying about the literary work? Do you agree or disagree with them and why? You may include other secondary sources (writings about the literary work, its author or culture, etc.).
  • In your next set of body paragraphs, make connections to other specific works of world literature, history, pop culture, etc. Cite specifics from the texts, include quotations and citations, and try to forge compelling links between the literary work you chose and other texts, like we do in class. How does it fit into World Literature? What patterns do you notice that connect it to other eras, cultures, and events?
  • In your last set of body paragraphs, explain how and why the literary work is still relevant today. What current issues might it help today’s readers reflect upon? How does it reveal universal human themes? Why should 21st century classes continue to study the chosen text?
  • Include a Works Cited page in MLA style (8th) detailing your sources, all of which must be cited parenthetically and accurately incorporated within the body of the paper.
