Assignment (adapted from Hammons and Fatherree, page 299, FOS): Write a character analysis of Phoenix Jackson. Your analysis must make a claim about Phoenix Jackson, and you should back up that claim with evidence from the story. As you integrate your evidence into your paper, you must interpret the evidence so that your reader knows what he or she is supposed to get out of that evidence. Your interpretation must always relate back to your claim. As Hammons and Fatherree implore, “You must go beyond the obvious in your analysis” (298). All of the reading and work that you have done this week has been to prepare you for this essay. You should have plenty to work with as you begin.

Other required elements of your essay:

1. An interesting and relevant introduction

2. An effective thesis statement incorporated into your introduction

3. Strong topic sentences and body paragraphs

4. An excellent conclusion

5. Impeccable grammar, mechanics, and style

6. Correct MLA format

7. An engaging title

Key concepts for writing effective essays (a review of Composition I):

1. Clarity—stay focused on the main topic throughout your essay

2. Coherence—present your ideas in a logical, organized way; use effective transitions

3. Unity—each paragraph stays on topic and relates to the overall thesis

4. Development—provide specific details so that the reader can understand the argument

IMPORTANT NOTE: Avoid plot summary! Your paper is an analysis, not a plot summary.

MLA FORMAT FOR THIS LITERARY CRITIQUE:

You do not need a works cited page for this essay; however, you must use proper in-text citation (also called parenthetical citation/documentation) for all paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting of the short story.

Grading Rubric: All literary critiques and research papers will be evaluated using the Hinds District English Department Scale/Chart for English Composition II, which is accessible on the English Department’s website at .

PLAGIARISM is unacceptable and will result in a zero. Depending on the severity of the case, it could be turned over to the school. Avoid plagiarism at all costs. (Review last week’s assignments in Curious Researcher if you have questions about plagiarism.)

Write a 500-word essay that explains your reasoning

Word Count: 500-600 words
Worth in Overall Grade: 20%
For part two of the analysis assignment, your task is to find an example of your rhetorical form and write an analysis that evaluates how it measures up as an example of that form. If you have already written your analysis of the convocation address using three examples provided by your instructor, now your job is to find another convocation address and explain in detail how it does and does not fit within that form. This essay is shorter than the first one; you will have 500-600 words.
You do not have to introduce or explain the form, because you can approach this as a continuation of the previous essay. You can assume that your reader has already read your analysis of the form itself. Your introduction, then, should be fairly brief. It will introduce readers to the example you have chosen and advance your claim of how well it fits within the form. Again, you want to avoid mere summary or description. You want, instead, to look closely at how the author adheres to the form. Does the author give any indication that they are following a set pattern? Is there reference to the rhetorical situation in the text of the work itself? Does the author make any interesting departures from the form? Think about your points and consciously choose the features that are most interesting and important.
You probably won’t list all of the features in the text, and you probably won’t move through the text from beginning to end. Consider, too, your paragraphs. You will likely only have three or four paragraphs, depending on how long they are. Make the most of them and think about how you are using them to organize your ideas for your reader.
Assignment Requirements

The Research Essay

Assignment: Write a formal analysis of the film The Notebook (2004). The analysis should be 850-1400 words, typed double spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, standard margins left, right, top, and bottom (the standards used for MLA format).
This essay must be written to conform to the Modern Language Association (MLA) format requirements.
On the first page of your essay, in the upper left corner, include the following information about your name and report title. Do not include a separate cover page.

Your name
Professor’s name
Course abbreviation/number: ENG 2145
Date
Word Count
Title of your report (centered): This must be a meaningful and complete title, such as “An Analysis of how the Myth of the American West was Re-interpreted in Unforgiven (1979) by filmmaker Clint Eastwood.” The title should contain the movie’s title (in italics), date of release (in parentheses), director or filmmaker’s name, and the main point of your analysis.
On every page of the report (after the first), type your last name in the upper right corner (as a page header), followed by the page number.
The body of the analysis should contain the following information immediately after the name and report name as noted above.
1. An effective introductory paragraph that leads into a final thesis sentence must be written. This first paragraph should lead into a clear thesis statement that enumerates (“previews”) what you will be doing in your paper.
2. The introduction must be followed by an analysis of the director’s or filmmaker’s style, including information on the genre of the movie and how the director or filmmaker works within the genre. In this analysis, in addition to using and citing the course texts, you must refer to (and cite correctly) 1-3 relevant books or articles that relate directly to your thesis. These three other resources may not include encyclopedias (such as Wikipedia), dictionaries, other general reference works, or study guides, (such as Sparknotes, CliffsNotes, or other similar resources). While these types of resources do not count toward the 1-3-article or book minimum, if you do happen to include information from any of them, you must cite such information according to MLA standards, and they must be included on the Works Cited list.
3. Dedicate 1-2 paragraphs to a discussion of the technical aspects of the movie: cinematography (camera techniques and angles, lighting, use of sets, costumes, color, etc.), editing, acting, and sound.
4. Dedicate 1-2 paragraphs to a discussion (in detail, with examples) of how this film reveals something about the American experience, identity, and culture of the time in which the film is set (the masculinity that is portrayed in The Notebook, etc.)

5. Do not write in the first person (e.g., “In my opinion…”, “I think that…,” or “When I saw the movie,” etc.)

In preparing your essay according to these criteria, be sure it contains direct references to both the movie and to sources consulted (with proper in-text citations, plus inclusion of each citation on a correctly formatted Works Cited page). Your paper must analyze cinema techniques and should not summarize the plot. All sources used must conform to the Modern Language Association (MLA) documentation format (see the course syllabus for details).
Identify the movie when it is mentioned the first time in your text by including its director and its release date. The Works Cited entry should include that material, in addition to the name of the studio that produced the movie.

Write a one-page letter to the other side arguing why your client is right.

In this discussion, you get to be the lawyer. Choose one of the two case scenarios below to discuss. Then pick a side. Decide whether you want to represent the employee alleging discrimination (either Janet in Case 1 or Melissa in Case 2) or the hospital defending the claim.

Case 1: Read “The Case of Janet K. and Epilepsy” found on p. 188 of the textbook. Assume for the purposes of this question that Janet did not die of a brain tumor but has consulted an attorney to see what her rights are and what her options might be for bringing a claim against the hospital.

Case 2: A management position has opened up due to a recent retirement in the medical staff office at the local hospital where you work. You and your pregnant coworker Melissa are talking about it at lunch one day. Melissa is very excited because she has been told several times by different senior managers that the next management position available would be hers.

The next day, however, it is announced that a male coworker with less experience, education, and time on the job was offered the position. Melissa feels very strongly that it is because she is pregnant and going on maternity leave in two months. Melissa has an impeccable performance record throughout her employment at the hospital, and other than two weeks of doctor-ordered bed rest for gestational diabetes, she has not missed a day of work during her pregnancy. She has consulted an attorney to see what her rights are and whether there is any action that can be taken against the hospital.

Next, write a one-page letter to the other side arguing why your client is right. Set out the facts, the specific law or laws supporting your client’s position, and what your client wants to resolve the situation (for example, a request for a formal investigation, the offer of a promotion, or dropping the claim).

In your responses to your peers, reply to at least one classmate who represented the other side in your scenario, explaining why your client has the stronger case. Remember to stick to the facts as presented and to avoid making assumptions or generalizations. A strong legal argument applies the facts to the law to reach a conclusion that supports your position.

Your letter should use at least one scholarly or professional source other than the textbook. All sources, including course materials, must be cited according to APA style.

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.
