Semelhante a Romeo & Juliet—Expository Essay

Write a outline of political science essay! It's about one of these two movies “ Do the Right Thing, 1998' Directed by Spike Lee or Smoke Signals, 1998; Directed by Chris Eyre Assignment Objectives : Enhance and/or improve critical thinking and media literacy skills by: 1. Developing a clear and concise thesis statement (an argument) in response to the following question: Does the film have the power to transform political sensibilities? 2. Writing an outline for a five paragraph analytical essay building on a clear and concise thesis statement, including topic sentences and secondary supports. 3. Identifying and explaining three scenes from the film text in support of the thesis statement/argument. 4. Writing an introductory paragraph for the outlined analytical essay Be sure to read thoroughly the writing conventions below before beginning this assignment . Note: You are NOT writing a full essay; rather, you are outlining an analytical essay by completing the dialogue boxes below. Writing a Critical Review (analytical) Essay Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed (perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence, the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some specific questions about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows: The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural dependency. The characters in this film have no real psychological depth, but are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory. (You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.) What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer? Each essay should be organized into five (5) paragraphs, each based on one of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth above, the first paragraph might begin with a sentence like “Ivan’s desires and his destiny are signaled in the opening shots of the film ...

HOW TO WRITE A LITERARY ANALYSIS ESSAY The purpose of a literary analysis essay is to carefully examine and sometimes evaluate a work of literature or an aspect of a work of literature. As with any analysis, this requires you to break the subject down into its component parts. Examining the different elements of a piece of literature is not an end in itself but rather a process to help you better appreciate and understand the work of literature as a whole. For instance, an analysis of a poem might deal with the different types of images in a poem or with the relationship between the form and content of the work. If you were to analyze (discuss and explain) a play, you might analyze the relationship between a subplot and the main plot, or you might analyze the character flaw of the tragic hero by tracing how it is revealed through the acts of the play. Analyzing a short story might include identifying a particular theme (like the difficulty of making the transition from adolescence to adulthood) and showing how the writer suggests that theme through the point of view from which the story is told; or you might also explain how the main character‟s attitude toward women is revealed through his dialogue and/or actions. REMEMBER: Writing is the sharpened, focused expression of thought and study. As you develop your writing skills, you will also improve your perceptions and increase your critical abilities. Writing ultimately boils down to the development of an idea. Your objective in writing a literary analysis essay is to convince the person reading your essay that you have supported the idea you are developing. Unlike ordinary conversation and classroom discussion, writing must stick with great determination to the specific point of development. This kind of writing demands tight organization and control. Therefore, your essay must have a central idea (thesis), it must have several paragraphs that grow systematically out of the central idea, and everything in it must be directly related to the central idea and must contribute to the reader’s understanding of that central idea. These three principles are listed again below: 1. Your essay must cover the topic you are writing about. 2. Your essay must have a central idea (stated in your thesis) that governs its development. 3. Your essay must be organized so that every part contributes something to the reader’s understanding of the central idea. THE ELEMENTS OF A SOLID ESSAY The Thesis Statement The thesis statement tells your reader what to expect: it is a restricted, precisely worded declarative sentence that states the purpose of your essay -- the point you are trying to make. Without a carefully conceived thesis, an essay has no chance of success. The following are thesis statements which would work for a 500-750 word literary analysis essay: Gwendolyn Brooks‟s 1960 poem “The Ballad of Rudolph Reed” demonstrates how the poet uses the conventional poetic form of the ballad to treat the un ...

1 A Guide to the Literary-Analysis Essay INTRODUCTION: the section in your essay. It begins creatively in order to catch your reader’s interest, provides essential background about the literary work, and prepares the reader for you major thesis. The introduction must include the author and title of the work as well as an explanation of the theme to be discussed. Other essential background may include setting, capsule plot summary, an introduction of main characters, and definition of terms. The major thesis goes at the end. Because the major thesis sometimes sounds tacked on, use a transition between the background information and the thesis of the essay. CREATIVE OPENING: the beginning sentences of the introduction that catches the reader’s interest. The types of introductions listed below are not the complete introductions. The examples only represent a type of introduction. The introduction is more than you see here. Ways of beginning creatively include the following: 1) A startling fact or bit of information Ex. Nearly two citizens were arrested as witches during the Salem witch scare of 1692. Eventually nineteen were hanged, and another was pressed to death (Marks 65). 2) A snatch of dialogue between two characters Ex. “It is another thing. You [Frederic Henry] cannot know about it unless you have it.” “Well,” I said. “If I ever get it I will tell you [priest].” (Hemingway 72). With these words, the priest in Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms sends the hero, Frederic, in search of the ambiguous “it” in his life. 3) A meaningful quotation (from the work or another source) Ex. “To be, or not to be, that is the question” {3.1.57}. This familiar statement expresses the young prince’s moral dilemma in William Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. 4) A universal idea. Ex. The terrifying scenes a soldier experiences on the front probably follow him throughout his life—if he manages to survive the war. 5) A rich, vivid description of the setting Ex. Sleepy Maycomb, like other Southern towns, suffers considerably during the Great Depression. Poverty reaches from the privileged families, like the Finches, to the Negroes and “white trash” Ewells, who live on the outskirts of town. Harper Lee paints a vivid picture of life in this humid Alabama town where tempers and bigotry explode into conflict. 2 6) An analogy or metaphor Ex. Life is like a box of chocolates: we never know what we’re going to get. This element of uncertainty plays a major role in many dramas. For example, in Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet have no idea what tragedies lie ahead when they fall so passionately and impetuously in love. 7) MAJOR THESIS: a statement that provides the subject and overall opinion of your essay. For a literary analysis your major thesis must (1) relate to the theme of the work and (2) suggest how this theme is revealed by the author. A good thesis may ...

Baugh Building Room 279 ● 210-924-4338 ext. 270 ● [email protected] University Writing Center Rev. 2/2017 LITERARY ANALYSIS THESIS STATEMENTS  A thesis in a literary analysis or literary research paper can take many forms.  The thesis statement is one of the (if not the) most important parts of your paper. Think of it as the foundation of a house. If your foundation is weak and poorly constructed, what do you think happens to the house?  The thesis statement is the announcement of your analytical argument that you intend to make and prove in the duration of your paper. It is a road map for the paper—it tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper.  It should be placed somewhere in the introduction of your paper. Many like to put it as the last sentence(s) of their introductory paragraph which is fine. A thesis statement is usually, but can be more than, one sentence long.  Your thesis statement should include two parts: WHAT and WHY. o WHAT: What claim are you making about the text? o WHY: Why should we care? Why is your claim important? Your thesis should answer the “so what?” question. SAMPLE THESIS STATEMENTS These sample thesis statements are provided as guides, not as required forms or prescriptions. #1 The thesis may focus on an analysis of one of the elements of fiction, drama, poetry or nonfiction as expressed in the work: character, plot, structure, idea, theme, symbol, style, imagery, tone, etc. Example: In “A Worn Path,” Eudora Welty creates a fictional character in Phoenix Jackson whose determination, faith, and cunning illustrate the indomitable human spirit. Note that the work, author, and character to be analyzed are identified in this thesis statement. The thesis relies on a strong verb (creates). It also identifies the element of fiction that the writer will explore (character) and the characteristics the writer will analyze and discuss (determination, faith, cunning). Further Examples: The character of the nurse in Romeo and Juliet, who serves as a foil to young Juliet, delights the reader with her warmth and earthy wit, and helps realize the tragic catastrophe. The works of ecstatic love poets Rumi, Hafiz, and Kabir use symbols such as a lover’s longing and the Tavern of Ruin to illustrate the human soul’s desire to connect with God. Baugh Building Room 279 ● 210-924-4338 ext. 270 ● [email protected] University Writing Center Rev. 2/2017 #2 The thesis may focus on illustrating how a work reflects the particular genre’s forms, the characteristics of a philosophy of literature, or the ideas of a particular school of thought. Example: “The Third and Final Continent” exhibits characteristics recurrent in writings by immigrants: tradition, adaptation, and identity. Note how the thesis statement classifies the form of the work (writings by immigrants) and identifies ...

Conventions for Writing about Literature Integrating Quotations: Quotation with Signal Phrase: If you are quoting dialogue (the spoken words of a character) in a work of literature, you should introduce the character who is speaking and provide a context for the spoken words. Use a signal phrase which names the speaker to incorporate the quotation. For example: When Josephine begs Louise to open the door, Louise says, “Go away. I am not making myself ill” (8). Or: Louise says, “Go away. I am not making myself ill” (8). Introduced Quotation: If you are quoting prose (non-spoken words) rather than dialogue (spoken words of a character) in a work of literature, there are also ways to smoothly incorporate quotations. One way to do this is to use an introduced quotation. To do this, first introduce the quote with a complete statement in your own words. Then, use a colon (:) in order to show that quotation which follows the colon is an example or further explanation of your statement. For example: Louise Mallard’s outer appearance clearly reveals her inner qualities: “She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength” (7). Blended Quotation: Another way to quote prose is to use a blended quotation. This is when you blend a quotation into your own sentence. Sometimes, this means that you blend only a part of the original sentence into your own sentence. Also make sure that your blended sentence is grammatically correct. For example: “The patches of blue sky” (7) represent hope in Louise Mallard’s bleak life. Other Literary Conventions to Keep in Mind: · In writing about literature, it is a convention to write in the present tense. · Put titles of self-contained works (like novels) in italics, and put titles of works that are published as part of a larger whole (like the readings from Signs of Life ) in quotation marks. · Put quotes within quotes in single quotation marks. (see WRP p.197). · Put brackets around anything that you need to change within the quote. (see WRP p.206). · Use ellipses to indicate omitted material from the quote. (see WRP p.202-205). · Indent (10 spaces) quotations of more than four lines. These long quotations are double-spaced and the parenthetical citations are placed after the end punctuation. Do not include quotation marks for long quotations. (see WRP p.198). Discuss: Asimov and Chiang 2 2 unread replies. 2 2 replies. Please read Isaac Asimov’s short story “Reason” p.160-176 and Ted Chiang's short story "Exhalation" p.742-756 in The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction. Then choose one of these short stories for your initial post. Please make sure you post the initial response by Tuesday of Week 2. Here are the instructions for the initial discussion post: 1) Write a CLAIM (in essence, a working thesis) in a sentence or two about what the the story reveals about the underlying social message of what it means to be human.

Willis, Sharon. “Mutilated Masculinities and Their Prostheses: Die Hards and Lethal Weapons.” Chap. 1 in High Contrast: Race and Gender in Contemporary Hollywood Film. Durham and London: Duke University Press, 1997. MSCR 1100: Film 101 Writing Guide FILM, BOOK, OR ESSAY TITLES Italicize or underline film and book titles. You typically also include the film’s director and date in parentheses the first time you mention the film in your paper; this may be important if you want to stress the historical context or sequence of your films discussed. Examples: Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee, 1989) Or, if the filmmaker is already addressed: Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) In a sentence: Spike Lee confronts the viewer with racial tensions brought to the boiling point in Do the Right Thing (1989). Place in quotes articles and essays: “A Theater of Interruptions” THE HISTORICAL PRESENT AND PARANTHETICAL INFORMATION Most textual analysis and commentary is written in a form of the present tense called the historical present (or literary present). This applies to films and to written works. The idea is that the events or ideas expressed or represented in a text continue, even after you read or watched it. This can get a little complicated when you alternate between recounting a past event (Jean Renoir directed this film in 1937, or Walter Benjamin wrote his first draft in 1934) and the content itself (Renoir’s film implies that national differences can be overcome; In the film, Renoir insinuates that groups are bound by class—note that this refers to the film as well as the filmmaker). Example: In Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976) Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) rehearses his gun-slinging before the mirror. First, note that the character does theses things in the film, not the actor—although you could say “Jodie Foster’s character gets into the car…” It is not always necessary, or even helpful, to always include the actor’s name—particularly when he or she is relatively unknown or plays a minor character. Once you have provided the parenthetical information you don’t need to do it again. For example, you may have a line a few paragraphs later: In Taxi Driver’s climatic confrontation, Travis shoots Sport (Harvey Keitel) on his way to rescue Iris. As a side note, I use the possessive on the film title here, but only italicize the film itself (not the apostrophe-s). WHEN TO CITE AND WHEN NOT TO CITE If in doubt, it is better to site your source. In general, it is not necessary to cite the lecturing professor, unless it is absolutely clear that she/he is giving a specific opinion, and not simply presenting that week’s readings, or common knowledge. It is not necessary to cite, or place in quotations, things that are considered common knowledge. For example: “World War I was devastating for Europe,” does not need to be quoted or cited. If you are pulling ...

HOW TO WRITE A LITERARY ANALYSIS ESSAY The purpose of a literary analysis essay is to carefully examine and sometimes evaluate a work of literature or an aspect of a work of literature. As with any analysis, this requires you to break the subject down into its component parts. Examining the different elements of a piece of literature is not an end in itself but rather a process to help you better appreciate and understand the work of literature as a whole. For instance, an analysis of a poem might deal with the different types of images in a poem or with the relationship between the form and content of the work. If you were to analyze (discuss and explain) a play, you might analyze the relationship between a subplot and the main plot, or you might analyze the character flaw of the tragic hero by tracing how it is revealed through the acts of the play. Analyzing a short story might include identifying a particular theme (like the difficulty of making the transition from adolescence to adulthood) and showing how the writer suggests that theme through the point of view from which the story is told; or you might also explain how the main character's attitude toward women is revealed through his dialogue and/or actions. REMEMBER: Writing is the sharpened, focused expression of thought and study. As you develop your writing skills, you will also improve your perceptions and increase your critical abilities. Writing ultimately boils down to the development of an idea. Your objective in writing a literary analysis essay is to convince the person reading your essay that you have supported the idea you are developing. Unlike ordinary conversation and classroom discussion, writing must stick with great determination to the specific point of development. This kind of writing demands tight organization and control. Therefore, your essay must have a central idea (thesis), it must have several paragraphs that grow systematically out of the central idea, and everything in it must be directly related to the central idea and must contribute to the reader’s understanding of that central idea. These three principles are listed again below: 1. Your essay must cover the topic you are writing about. 2. Your essay must have a central idea (stated in your thesis) that governs its development. 3. Your essay must be organized so that every part contributes something to the reader’s understanding of the central idea. THE ELEMENTS OF A SOLID ESSAY The Thesis Statement The thesis statement tells your reader what to expect: it is a restricted, precisely worded declarative sentence that states the purpose of your essay -- the point you are trying to make. Without a carefully conceived thesis, an essay has no chance of success. The following are thesis statements which would work for a 500-750 word literary analysis essay: Gwendolyn Brooks‟s 1960 poem “The Ballad of Rudolph Reed” demonstrates how the poet uses the conventional poetic form of the ballad to treat the un ...

English 1302: Essay 2 Instructions Analysis of a Theme in a Short Story Write an analysis of a theme in one of the following short stories: 1. Tillie Olsen, “I Stand Here Ironing” 2. Amy Tan, “Two Kinds” 3. Alice Walker, “Everyday Use” 4. William Faulkner, “A Rose for Emily” 5. Raymond Carver, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” 6. Eudora Welty, “A Worn Path” • See the discussion of theme on pp. 128-131 in Making Literature Matter. • Your thesis should reflect three points (aspects of theme) that you are going to focus on in your paper. Another approach to thematic analysis is to illustrate three methods by which an author develops a theme. • Quote liberally from the short story (citing in-text, MLA style). Look up how to quote short prose passages, as well as how to block longer passages of prose. Remember to introduce each quote with an independent clause (followed by a colon); the introduction to a quote provides you with an opportunity to state an opinion and make clear why the quote is significant. • You will need a works cited page (MLA format), in which you cite the short story. • You are to use only TWO sources for this paper—the short story itself AND one peer- reviewed article from a scholarly database from the HCCS Library Databases (such as JSTOR, Academic Search Complete, or ProQuest). The article should be either a critique of the short story or a discussion of themes in the works of the writer of that short story. • Quote at least twice from the peer-reviewed article in your paper. Length: 3 pages (minimum), double spaced, 12-point font, one-inch margins Submit your paper electronically, in the Assignment link in the class site in Eagle Online Canvas. Your paper will be subject to a Turnitin Originality check. See the Scholastic Dishonesty policy on the Syllabus for further information on what occurs when there are significant matches detected by Turnitin to materials that are not documented as required. Review of the 500-word theme: I. Paragraph I—Introduction—100-125 words (or 5-12 sentences) • Lead-in (mention the title of the work, the author’s name, and the date of composition) • Provide a brief synopsis (2-3 sentences, with the gist of the work) • Thesis statement—list the points to be developed in the body of the paper II. Paragraph 2—First Body Paragraph—100-125 words (or 5-12 sentences) • Follow the topic sentence with support—and in a literary analysis, that means quotations, quotations, quotations! III. Paragraph 3—Second Body Paragraph—100-125 words (or 5-12 sentences) • Follow the topic sentence with support—and in a literary analysis, that means quotations, quotations, quotations! IV. Paragraph 4—Third Body Paragraph—100-125 words (or 5-12 sentences) • Follow the topic sentence with support—and in a literary analysis, that means quotations, quotations, quotations! V.

In BC’s nearly-decade-old “new” curriculum, the curricular competencies describe the processes that students are expected to develop in areas of learning such as mathematics. They reflect the “Do” in the “Know-Do-Understand” model. Under the “Communicating” header falls the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions.” Note that it contains two processes: “Explain mathematical ideas” and “Justify mathematical decisions.” I have broken it down into its separate parts in order to understand--or reveal--its meaning. The first part is commonplace in classrooms. By now, BC math teachers—and students—understand that “Explain mathematical ideas” means more than “Show your work.” Teachers consistently ask “What did you do?” and “How do you know?” This process is about retelling, not just of steps but of thinking. The second part happens less frequently. Think back to the last time that you observed a student make—a necessary precursor to justify—a mathematical decision. “Justify” is about defending. Like “explain,” it involves reasoning; unlike “explain,” it also involves opinion and debate. In order to reinterpret the curricular competency “Explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions,” I will continue to take apart its constituent part “Justify mathematical decisions” and carefully examine the term “mathematical decisions.” What, exactly, is a “mathematical decision”? Below, I will categorize answers to this question. These categories, and the provided examples, may help to suggest new opportunities for students to justify.
