Literature Review

Part 1

After reviewing the material on the Literature Review posted below, return to your annotated bibliography(attached), and begin developing “categories” to help you to organize your sources.

Post one category below and list several sources from your annotated bibliogrophy that might fill that category. Remember that some sources may fall into more than one category.

Part 2

You can use a spider diagram to help you to structure your discussion of sources for writing assignments It can also help you to identify gaps and unanswered questions.

A spider diagram is a visual tool usually used for planning your writing. However, you can also use it for evaluating and thinking about a topic in detail.

To use the spider diagram, print out your draft of your last assignment. Then place a piece of paper in front of you and complete the tasks listed below.

For more information on the Spider Diagram, visit the link below.

https://www.the-organic-mind.com/spider-diagrams.html

Assignment:

Write your topic or title in the center of a piece of paper. Draw a circle around it.

Draw a “leg” from the central “body” of your topic towards the top right hand corner of the page. Label this “leg” with the first topic/category that you dealt with in your last assignment.

Add more legs moving clockwise around the page until all the sections have been included, with the final one being somewhere near the top left of the page.

Now divide each “leg” up into smaller “legs” with all the points that you made in each section. (Again work clockwise from the top left so that the sequence of ideas is maintained).

Finally, be sure that one section is devoted to identifying any gaps or niches in the research on your topic that you’ve discovered so far. For example, a lack of longterm studies on veterans with PTSD or studies on female video game players.

You may have to redraw your spider diagram several times until you find a structure that works for you. However, the result should help you decide the best categories for your essay–as well as what’s missing. Please post your spider diagram below.

Respond to this discussion topic with one paragraph describing how this task might have helped you or why it did not help you in organizing your thoughts for assignments 2(6 source essay) and 3(multiple source essay).

Review and reflect on the poem by

Armanda Gorman: The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country (January 20, 2021).
Decide which of the nine passages is your favorite. Cite the selected passage # on the title page of your submission (e.g., #4).

For the actual assignment, imagine you are writing a letter* to a relative or friend in which you explain why this passage is your favorite and how it is relatable to politics at large about which you are currently learning in a college class (POLS 2020).

To clarify: The letter should run 1.5 pages, that is the length specified in the general guidelines for written assignments posted in the same folder. Double-space; standard margins and fonts.

You may start your letter along the lines of "I am currently taking an intro course to American politics where we read Amanda Gorma’s poem "The Hill We Climb." I was really moved by passage #4 because …”

 

Organization of your letter

Salutation: Dear…

You first want to convey why the passage of your choice touches, or resonates with, you. Provide examples from your life, beliefs/convictions and values, experiences or observations. Draw a connection to the recipient of your letter (e.g., ”Remember when I or when we or Mom …..).

Next you want to reflect on how the the passage help people like yourself to better understand the meaning of what American politics are or should be about? Does your passage offer a prescription for the betterment of American politics (e.g., what goals and values elected officials should pursue, how the public discourse should be shaped, how political arguments and conflicts should be resolved, or to what policies and actions government should give priority). Again relate this part to your convictions, concerns and experiences, and connect with the recipient of your letter when possible (e.g., You know how much I care about social justice, so I think when Gorman says ”….”I first think of …).

FINAL NOTE: You are reflecting on a poem, a piece of art. This does NOT mean that you should respond using the tone and language of Gorman’s poem. Don’t use vague, overly generalized or philosophical language. Be clear, personal, and relatable. Write a letter that you actually would actually send out.

Do People Complain Too Much?

First, read the essay “Do People Complain Too Much?” by Shannon Doyne. Next, type a paper of about 500 words in which you respond to the following question (or prompt):

In what ways is complaining bad OR good for those who do it and those who listen to other people complain?

 

In 300 words or more compare Poe’s two stories. Analyze both on character, plot, setting, point of view, style, themes, or symbolism, but compare and contrast both. For example, both stories deal with first-person narration. What is the difference between the narrators? Do both stories ultimately deal with revenge?

TIMELINE OF CULTURAL & LITERARY HISTORY

When studying the literature and culture of a period of time that covers centuries and a place as geographically and culturally broad and diverse as America, it becomes quickly clear that some particular focus is needed, to avoid the pitfall of merely looking at a random collection of disconnected works. Such a focusing device is sometimes called a motif.

The motif of this course is based on these words, taken from the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, written and loosed on an unsuspecting world in 1776:

“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—”

“Unalienable” means built-in, inherent, something which cannot be taken away, at least not rightfully. The reason the world was unprepared for such a claim–that people are born with the dignity of crucial rights–is because that is simply not how civilization had ever worked. Karen Armstrong, a contemporary historian, has pointed out that almost every single civilized country or region throughout history had followed the same pattern, which was that a powerful and privileged few consisting of a ruler plus his followers would control the majority of the people by means ranging from serfdom to outright slavery, and use their labors to fund the lifestyle of the ruling class. Meanwhile, 90% of the people barely subsisted. Given this almost universal pattern, who would believe the claim that people are born with “unalienable rights”?

Yet that very claim is the founding concept of this country. And ever since, in this country and then elsewhere, a new pattern of history has emerged: A struggle to “cash that check,” as Dr. Martin Luther King once put it, and be granted the opportunity to actually pursue those inherent rights and the dignity they confer. It is arguable and probably true that even Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration, and his fellow “founding fathers” of this country did not truly understand the magnitude of the claim their words make. For example, what about women? Are people of color included? What about slaves? What about Native Americans, from whom our European ancestors took this land? What about LGBTQ people? But each of these groups, and others, have slowly forced, through legal challenge and slow cultural change, their inclusion beneath the canopy of also having the right to pursue a life of reasonable happiness that does not harm others. In fact, The Bill of Rights and the further amendments to the U.S. Constitution are basically a ledger of the slow expansions made to the canopy of equal opportunity under the law.

So this is our motif in this course: The ongoing struggle of diverse groups of people to be granted the same rights as others. We will study key works of literature which are important to this struggle. Some will connect directly and obviously, while other works connect less directly, but the basic task for you the student will be to analyze each work for how it does in fact connect to this motif. This struggle, which has done nothing less than change the pattern of world civilization, is still ongoing. It’s all around us. We’ll take a look at where it first emerged–in this country.

PART ONE: QUOTATION IDENTIFICATION

Using this file, beneath each quotation, identify the quotation in three ways, briefly: First, tell which work the quote is from; second, name the speaker (caution: often the same as the main person the work is about, but not always); and last, in one sentence, connect the quote to the course motif, being sure to tell HOW it fits the motif. You may also point out how the quote shows some distinct, prominent feature of that work or person, if that is what stands out the most to you. You are not just paraphrasing the quote. Your response to each quote should not be longer than three sentences.
