Write a 1-2 paragraph response to Synge’s The Playboy of the Western World, Acts I-II in which you focus on some aspect of the play and make an interpretive claim about it.

Because Frost’s poems are based on everyday events, many of his works are viewed as autobiographical. For example, “Mending Wall” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” seem to be based on specific events in his life. If you agree that Frost’s works are often autobiographical, what can a critic claim about the emotional impact of these works? What are some of the themes that are suggested by Frost’s tone and word choice? Are these themes still relevant in the 21st century? If so, where do you see Frost’s works reflected in our present-day world?
After researching Frost’s life, what alternative interpretations of his text can you identify that might have been inspired by his biography?
Specific requirements:
At least one (1) of Frost’s poems to back up your assertion. You might choose to use more than one if your assertions need more examples.
You must include an MLA Works Cited entry for the poem you use and a separate entry for any biographical source material as well. The minimum number of entries should be two (2) on your Works Cited list.
Two (2) sources on a Works Cited list means that there should be two (2) in-text citations as well.
Minimum word count: 250-500 words
How to Approach the Assignment:
• Select the primary source(s) (literary work, film) you wish to discuss in relation to the theme or topic of your choice.

primary source(s), with reference to secondary sources (at least six or seven books, book chapters, journal articles, or web-based academic sources) to support and contextualise your discussion;

Nick Dear’s Frankenstein is an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s novel, and as an adaptation, it is faithful to the original in some ways and not in others.
What one change, omission, or addition did you find especially compelling in the play and why? Compare and contrast the scene that is different and discuss why it is significant to your reading of Frankenstein, the novel and to your understanding of the whole Frankenstein mythology.
Length: 600-700 words
Make sure you follow the MLA formatting guidelines.
Citations:
Dear, Nick. Frankenstein. Faber & Faber, 2016. Retrieved 5 July, 2019. https://waltonhigh.typepad.com/files/frankenstein-nick-dear.pdf
To cite Dear’s play in the body of your paper, you need to cite just the page number. You can mention what scene it is in in your lead-up sentence. For example to cite a quotation from scene 29, p. 66, I would write:
The first thing that Victor thinks of when he sees Elizabeth’s dead body in Scene 29, is that he could revive her: “Quickly! I have the equipment, I can reverse the process– she is still warm and has lost no blood!” (66).
OR, put the scene number in the parenthetical citation:
The first thing that Victor thinks of when he sees Elizabeth’s dead body is that he could revive her: “Quickly! I have the equipment, I can reverse the process– she is still warm and has lost no blood!” (29.66).
Choose one of the following minor characters from the second and third novels in the course, and write an essay analysing his/her significance. The point is to understand how characters that seem peripheral or even “flat” might in fact contribute to the narrative in important ways. You may explore anything you like, such as the character’s personality traits, actions, complexities, symbolic purpose, and relation to or influence on others, but be sure to organize your thoughts into three distinct points. This will form your central thesis— an argument or debatable statement that will take the essay beyond a simple discussion.
Remember that your essay must follow the conventions of English essays and use MLA Format. Guidelines are provided for you in a separate file under “Syllabus and Administrative Information.” Your personal information and the essay’s title should be placed on the first page of the essay, not on a separate title page, and quotations are cited using page numbers in parentheses. You will need to include a Works Cited page, even if the only work you cite is the primary text. No secondary sources are necessary for this assignment. If you choose to use a source, ensure that it is both reputable and scholarly, and cautiously document all borrowed quotations, arguments, and ideas with parenthetical citations and Works Cited entries.
See the syllabus for instructions on how to submit your essay. If you have any questions or would like help, please let me know.

Position yourself within the critical debate concerning the value of Naomi’s Road as a text for educating children about history. Be sure to answer both of the questions below:
In your opinion, does Naomi’s Road dehistoricize Naomi’s story and shift the focus from a collective Japanese Canadian experience to an individual child’s experience? Why or why not?
Do you think it’s true that most children need individualistic stories to relate to, or can they get equally engaged in stories about a community? Why or why not?
