One paragraph ONLY
Here are the guidelines
For this assignment, you will write me a paragraph in response to the following three questions. These questions are designed to guide and shape your introduction! Don’t be surprised if you have something that looks like an introduction at the end of it. As long as it’s clear you tried, you’ll get full credit.
1) What is your chosen lens for the research essay? What is the specific principle? (For instance: Passing, Marxism, specifically, bourgeois oppression of the lower class, or Feminism, specifically, patriarchy, or Psychoanalysis, specifically, Id/Ego/Superego/Psychic apparatus). Define it in the paragraph, emphasizing what’s important about that lens.
2) What are the two texts you’ll work with? Introduce the author and title of each (books/novels, italicized. Stories, in quotes). Tell your reader what we should know about each work. One or two sentences each.
3) How do the texts relate to the chosen lens? Do the characters challenge the bourgeois class, for instance (the dentist, Naida)? Do various actions in the text demonstrate how confining the Superego can be on characters whose Id is being suffocated (think Bruce, Louise, Naida).
