The purpose of this discussion assignment is to reflect upon your understanding of different historical and philosophical approaches to the self. After completing your readings, write a 2–3-page paper contrasting the avocado/essentialist idea of the self with the artichoke/protean view of the self. Remember to explain specific theories with supporting citations from the textbook and online lectures before contrasting them. (Here is a guide to help you with APA-style citations .)

As you develop your response, you might find some of the following questions to be relevant:What are some of the differences/similarities between the avocado and artichoke views of the self?What do you make of the feminist, existential, and non-Western critiques of the essentialist/avocado self? Are there any other problems with the idea that human beings are fundamentally rational creatures?What is the role of desire in the self? Is it really something separate from reason, as modernism, Christianity, and Islam assert? Can it be controlled? Should it be?

Short Story Analysis Essay

Assignment: As stated in Allyn and Bacon’s Guide to Writing, your goal is to “(p)ose an interpretive question about a short story and respond to it analytically showing your readers where and how the text of the story supports your interpretation.” You may use any short we are not covering in class this term: in other words, do not use “Saboteur” by Ha Jin; do not use “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston; do not use “Drown” by Junot Diaz.

“In the introduction to your essay, pose an interesting, problematic, and significant question about the story, one that can be answered several different ways according to the evidence in the text. Look for a question that might lead to differences in opinion among your classmates and that offers readers new insights into the story. Your task in this assignment is not to discover the right way to interpret the text, but to explain your way of reading some aspect of it.

Before you give your thesis, make clear just what question you are putting to the text and why in your introduction. It is this question that engages your readers’ interest and makes them look forward to your analysis.” (In other words, no one should ask, “Who cares?” after reading your introductory paragraph). Then, in the body of your paper, explain your own responses to this question, contrasting your answer with other possible interpretations that (may) have been proposed by your classmates (or others) or that you yourself have considered. You need to provide the citation/integration of at least two secondary sources which provide a critique regarding the story. You should dispute “alternative interpretations” but “concentrate on showing your reader how you arrived at your interpretation and why you think that interpretation is valuable. Use details from the story (and appropriate secondary sources) for support.”

Good literary questions call attention to problematic details of the text, stimulate conversation, and provoke readers to return to the text to reread and rethink. You know you have a good question if (others) disagree about the answer and (can) contribute their own views to the conversation.” Some good questions can arise from the elements of fiction mentioned both in class and in Chapter 5 of the 3rd edition of the Gardner text as well as the questions about text, author, reader, and culture mentioned in Chapter 2 of the same text.

Evaluation Criteria: -Provision of a fairly original interpretive question about a short story with an analytical response to it showing readers where and how the text of the story supports your interpretation through the use of both details from the story itself and secondary sources.
–Demonstration of the reading strategies of rhetorical readers when examining potential
