How would you characterize the oppressive systems described in both readings? Who’s in charge?

/in /by

Reading:Karen Ho, “Biographies of Hegemony”Azar Nafisi, “Selections from Reading Lolita in Tehran”
While crafting your response, you might consider some of the following questions. (These are meant to help you brainstorm. Your paper does NOT have to answer all of them. Instead, make sure the paper argues for a clear central claim.)
What kinds of details do both authors notice and record about their subjects’ lives?
Do they make similar types of observations?
How do the details they record differ from each other?
What does this tell us about the authors’ interests, priorities, or values?
How would you characterize the oppressive systems described in both readings?
Who’s in charge?
Who benefits? Who is harmed?
What types of control do these systems exert on people’s actions?
What ways, if any, do we see people resisting oppressive systems in these readings?
How would Nafisi interpret Ho’s evidence, and vice versa?
Can you take a concept found in one reading and apply it to another?
What can we learn from reading these texts together that we couldn’t learn from reading them separately?
Your paper should make an independent claim rather than merely summarizing the texts. It should also support this claim by close reading passages from the texts. Rough draft must be a minimum of 1300 words (about four full pages). I will be commenting on these drafts; expect to receive your comments on Friday or thereabouts.Final draft must be a minimum of 1700 words (about five full pages). In order to receive credit, you must make significant revisions from your first draft.Late work may result in a lowered final grade.In Reading Lolita in Tehran, Nafisi describes Iran as “a country where all gestures, even the most private, were interpreted in political terms” (Nafisi 292). In this paper, I’d like you to put this idea in conversation with Ho’s claim that the “small” and “everyday” actions of her subjects provide the key to understanding the system of domination created by Wall Street (Ho 163). Drawing on evidence from both authors, answer the following question: what is the relationship between private or everyday life and politics? In what ways do people’s daily choices help to maintain oppressive systems, or to resist them?

How does the author(s) conceptualize women? feminism? Gender?

/in /by

For each text, your response will answer the following questions:
1. What is the overall purpose/thesis/point of the chapter/essay/article?
2. How ​does the author(s) make their point(s)? What do they discuss? What evidence and
examples do they give?
3. How does the author(s) conceptualize women? feminism? Gender?
4. What is your personal reaction to the piece? How does it make you
feel? To what extent do you agree/disagree and why?
You should format these like you format the film responses – copy and paste the questions into a document and type your responses as short-answers below each question. Your assignments should be a minimum of 1000 words total (or approximately 250 words per question).
This is important: a​ nd this goes for all assignments: ​Your writing needs to demonstrate serious engagement with the text/film/podcast. It should be immediately obvious to me that you read/watched/listened carefully, took notes, thought critically, drafted, edited and revised.
If it looks like you googled for the easiest answers, didn’t really read/watch/listen, just read some summaries online, or are answering the questions as quickly and easily as possible, or if you plagiarize (goddess forbid!) – none of that will count as having even attempted the assignment. I will give you a zero and you won’t have the opportunity to redo it. You should always be doing the very best job that you can do. That’s another life tip.

Compare and contrast Telemachus, Antigone, and Hamlet as characters in transition from childhood to adulthood.

/in /by

The course paper will be a thesis-driven, 5-7 page literary analysis research paper that explores a leadership/maturation theme as developed in The Odyssey and two other course primary source readings and informed by research in secondary sources (minimum of six sources, including the chosen course readings).

Proposal Assignment: Write a paragraph length proposal (100+ word minimum) for the Research Paper:

1) identifying a leadership/maturation related theme/topic addressed in the course readings;

2) identifying a leadership theory or approach to guide the analysis of the readings (Example: democratic, authoritative, authoritarian, servant style leadership, etc.);

3) including a thematically connected title identifying the authors/readings to be analyzed;

4) including a single clear thesis statement;

5) demonstrating careful editing for clarity, conciseness, and correctness before submission.

Model Proposal:

What an Aspiring Leader Needs: A Study of Leadership Nurture in Homer’s The Odyssey, Sophocles’ Oedipus the King, and Shakespeare’s Hamlet

Telemachus is the heir apparent to the throne of Ithaka, but he lacks the maturity, confidence, and self-awareness needed to succeed as a leader at the opening of Homer’s The Odyssey. He lacks above all else a dynamic connection to Odysseus, his absent father. Two supporting characters in the epic function to bridge the gap for the king’s son, Mentor, the family steward and the goddess Athena. Separately, together, sometimes in disguise, sometimes hidden, but always present in spirit, they drive the son to find his father and learn the meaning of leadership, maturity, and his place in the family. Both Oedipus the King by Sophocles and Hamlet by Shakespeare explore similar thematic issues. Oedipus, like Telemachus, knows neither his father nor his full family story. His leadership and character are negatively impacted as a result. Hamlet also suffers a disconnect with his murdered father and is negatively impacted by destructive family dynamics.Suggested Topics:

Compare and contrast Telemachus, Antigone, and Hamlet as characters in transition from childhood to adulthood. What does it mean for each of them to be an adult? (Consider that for Antigone, for example, becoming a woman in Greek society meant getting married and having children whereas Telemachus and Hamlet are both born to rule.) What prompts this initiation? What challenges do they face in this transition? Remember that literature often gives us a snapshot of this initiation not the entirety of this initiation.
Compare and contrast three of the following characters (choose one per book) as they attempt to do their duty: Odysseus, Telemachus, Oedipus, Antigone, Hamlet, and/or Ophelia. How do they define their duty? Does this contrast with what society/family or the gods/God considers their duty to be? What challenges do they face in attempting to do their duty? How do they respond to this duty?
Compare and contrast Oedipus the King, Antigone, and Hamlet as tragedies that do or do not conform to Aristotle’ ideal of tragedy. You may want to pick a few key elements of Aristotle’s definition (tragic hero, etc.) as points of comparison. Do these tragic plays conform to the Aristotelian definition in part or in whole? [Hint: each of these plays have aspects that conform to this definition and aspects that do not conform.] Give examples. In the case of Hamlet, remember that Shakespeare is an English Christian playwright living after Christ (whereas the other authors in this course are Greek pagan writer living before Christ). Is there any way in which Shakespeare’s approach to tragedy might reflect his Christian beliefs?
Compare and contrast the leadership styles of Odysseus, Oedipus, Creon, Antigone, and/or Hamlet (pick three characters from three different books). You may use minor characters in order to highlight the character traits of these major figures. For example, you might contrast Fortinbras with Hamlet in order to show what kind of leader Hamlet is.
Compare and contrast the views of justice presented in one of three books: Odysseus, Oedipus the King, Antigone, and/or You might consider questions like how justice is defined in each of these works and how it relates to things such as rulership, divine law, human law, and/or revenge.
Or submit your own preferred comparison topic for professor approval.
Note: You have some discretion to choose what works/characters that you want to compare and contrast, but you must choose to write on the Odyssey in some way. For example: you can write about Telemachus, Antigone, and Hamlet, but you can’t write about Oedipus, Antigone, and Hamlet because that does not allow you to write about the Odyssey.

What is the author’s message about power and responsibility in the novel?

/in /by

Please write this for the book Harp of Burma by Michio Takeyama Please follow these guidelines (written and screenshot) Assignment: Write a one-page paragraph of 8 or 9 sentences.

Topic: What is the author’s message about power and responsibility in the novel? How does he use the characters, plot, structure, language and/or rhetorical devices in order to advance his beliefs about the dynamics of responsibility and power.

Format: Begin the paragraph with a THESIS CLAIM

A one-page, one-paragraph essay begins with the thesis claim.

Begin your page with a prepositional phrase that gives context to your essay and place a comma after the phrase ( In The Count of Monte Cristo, ).

Write an independent clause after the prepositional phrase and use the author as the subject of the verb. Use an action verb.
(In The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexander Dumas uses Christ-like religious allusions when describing Dantes’ transformation from victimized citizen to powerful royal …)

“Uses” is an action verb. If I wrote linking verbs (is, was, were, seems, appears, be, being) then I probably would have written only descriptive summary rather than write about something the author does.
The content of the independent clause should contain FACT. Anyone who has read this novel knows that Dumas uses religious allusions to the Chris story–no one would disagree.

After your independent clause, write a subordinate clause in which you offer your interpretation about WHY the author does something. The subordinate clause will carry your theory that you will then have to prove with specifics from the text. If all readers of the book would automatically agree with your “theory” then you probably just wrote more fact. To help you make sure that your subordinate clause offers an interpretation, try using the subordinate conjunction because; because will prompt you to interpret what the author has done and offer a why reason (by looking at the result in the text).

In The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexander Dumas uses Christ-like religious allusions when describing Dantes’ transformation from victimized citizen to powerful royal because he wants to show how the powerful people in society abuse their power and that only a more powerful being can bring them to justice and stop the abuse.

Now that you have your theory–that the author deliberately uses these Christ allusions to criticize the abuse of power in a society and illustrate what it takes to stop it, now you have to prove it. You need to go through your text and notes to find evidence that supports your interpretation. The evidence must be there if this was your take on the theme. Find quotes that support your position.

Once you find your quotes, choose a short phrase from the passage, about 4-5 words in length. You want to incorporate the phrase into your own words of analysis. You never want to just PLOP down a long quote in the middle of your paragraph. Your argument should be mostly your words and you sprinkle short phrases from the text to lend weight and authority to your position. Never just recreate dialogue: Dantes says, “why are you doing this to me?” Recreating dialogue is summary.
Better to critically write that Dantes’ obsession with “why” (394) his enemies destroy his life shows his naivete about the abuses of power and their motivation to stay in power at all costs. In the Christ story, Christ must die to pay for mankind’s sins; in COMC, Dantes figuratively “dies in prison” because of mankind’s sins (895). MLA format requires you to list the page number on which you find the quote in parentheses after the quote. You may place the parenthetical citation immediately after the quote or at the end of that sentence–whichever you prefer.

Use present-active verbs. Literature always happens in the present tense. Action verbs keep you from summary.

Use at least three short quotes to support your interpretation.

Do not ask your teacher to write your thesis claim–your ability to write a critical interpretation is one of the things that you will be graded on.
