Poetry Analysis ( ENG 1102)

/in /by

Review the chapter “Writing about Literature” (pp. 1089-1142) in your Backpack Literature textbook and model the format of your essay on the annotated sample essays in the chapter.

ASSIGNMENT: Write a 1000-word critical analysis using one of the poetry analysis prompts below. For this paper assignment, we will continue to work with scholarly sources in order to use what specialists in the genre of poetry have to say and to build upon their work to frame our own views in our our own academic writing. From the Graff/Birkenstein readings (see “Introduction” and “Chapters 3-5” in the Course Documents area of the course) you’ve learned how to effectively read, quote, and respond to sources by furthering the conversation — by either agreeing with a difference, by disagreeing with reasons, or agreeing and disagreeing simultaneously. Now it is time to demonstrate what you’ve learned by critically reading scholarly sources, effectively framing quotations from those sources, and presenting your original viewpoint by using one of the three ways to respond. For this assignment, you should search the TROY Library databases, identify two scholarly articles about the poetry you’ve selected, and frame and respond to at least one quotation from each of the two scholarly sources that address the specific topic from the prompts below.

Prompt #1: Compare and contrast any two poems in Backpack Literature that treat a similar theme. Let your comparison bring you to an evaluation of the poems. Which is the stronger, more satisfying one? Essay Outline: The introduction should identify the poems under consideration, their authors, and any necessary background information that is significantly relevant to the main focus of your essay. The introduction should conclude with your original idea (your thesis) presented as a response to an effectively framed quotation from one of the scholarly sources you found in the Troy Library databases (use the templates for introducing, explaining, and framing quotations in Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Three — pp. 42-50). Body paragraphs should support and develop your thesis with specific references to the poems, bolstered by effective responses to your scholarly articles. Use the templates in Graff/Birkenstein for introducing, explaining, and framing a quotation (Chapter Three — pp. 42-50) and the templates for responding to sources in Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Four — pp. 55-66. Be sure to clarify what you “say” from what your source “says” by using the templates from Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Five (“Distinguishing What You Say from What They Say” — pp. 68-75). Your conclusion should place your original argument within a larger, meaningful context for your reader.

Prompt #2: Compare and contrast any two poems by a single poet in Backpack Literature. Look for two poems that share a characteristic thematic concern. Some examples might include Mortality in the work of Emily Dickinson, Women’s Issues in the work of Sylvia Plath, or Nature in the work of Robert Frost, just to give you an idea of possible topics. See the Index on pp. 1179-1187 for a listing of works grouped by author to explore multiple poems by a single poet. Essay Outline: The introduction should identify the poet under consideration, the poems, and any necessary background information that is significantly relevant to the main focus of your essay. The introduction should conclude with your original idea (your thesis) presented as a response to an effectively framed quotation from one of the scholarly sources you found in the Troy Library databases (use the templates for introducing, explaining, and framing quotations in Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Three — pp. 42-50). Body paragraphs should support and develop your thesis with specific references to the play, bolstered by effective responses to your scholarly articles. Use the templates in Graff/Birkenstein for introducing, explaining, and framing a quotation (Chapter Three — pp. 42-50) and the templates for responding to sources in Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Four — pp. 55-66. Be sure to clarify what you “say” from what your source “says” by using the templates from Graff/Birkenstein’s Chapter Five (“Distinguishing What You Say from What They Say” — pp. 68-75). Your conclusion should place your original argument within a larger, meaningful context for your reader.

SOURCE CITATION: Your essay must properly cite the poems and the two required scholarly sources. Correct source usage consists of two elements: (1) brief in-text citations for any idea or passage that is not your original idea; and (2) a properly formatted list of all Works Cited at the end of the essay. Your Writers Reference textbook contains sections on evaluating and using sources and avoiding plagiarism. Email me with any questions about allowable use.

FORMAT: The essay must conform to MLA standards: double-space, twelve-point font (Times New Roman or Courier), and one-inch margins on all pages. Your Writers Reference textbook contains sections on MLA format instructions and models.

EVALUATION:

15% Introduction: You effectively identify the poets and poems under consideration and provide brief and relevant background information if necessary.

15% Thesis: You state your main point (or argument) in 1-2 sentences. The thesis is the culmination of your introduction.

30% Organization. Your essay should follow that of a typical literary critique: Since your focus must be on critical analysis, your essay must contain well-structured supporting paragraphs that contain a topic sentence, quotes from the primary text (the poems you are writing about) and secondary sources (the two scholarly articles you are using to respond to), an explanation/discussion of the significance of the quotes you use in relation to your thesis, and a concluding sentence or two that situates the entire paragraph in relation to the thesis. Your thesis will focus on some kind of critical analysis of the primary texts (the poems), so your supporting paragraphs should be organized around each of the quotes you use, explaining the significance of the quotes and why (or how) they illustrate your main point, but you also need to make sure that your paragraphs contain strong transitions and at least six (or more) sentences.

10% Conclusion: Regardless of the argument you make, you want a conclusion that avoids summarizing what you’ve just said, and please avoid writing, “In conclusion.…” — be creative! Your aim in a conclusion is to place the discussion in a larger context.

15% Grammar and mechanics: Your paper avoids basic grammar mistakes, such as dropped apostrophes in possessives, subject/verb disagreement, arbitrary tense switches, etc. The paper demonstrates a commitment to proofreading by avoiding easy-to-catch typos and word mistakes (effect for affect, for example). The paper adheres to MLA formatting style for in-text citations. Your paper uses the active voice rather than the passive voice and demonstrates an understanding of how to use active verbs (no “to be” verbs) and concise, concrete language.

15% Presentation: Your paper meets the minimum length criteria of 1000 words, is typed with a title and your name on it. Your title should reflect the main idea of your essay, not the assignment (don’t title your work Essay #4). Your paper must be fully double-spaced throughout to allow room for my comments and editing or the paper will be returned ungraded.

HUS4450 Section 01 Human Services Capstone

/in /by

Sally was recently hired as a caseworker with a local organization that provides services to disadvantaged teenagers. Sally has become especially close to a 15-year-old girl who is pregnant. She says that the girl reminds her of what she was like at that age. She spends more time than a worker usually would with this client. Sally says that the other day when she was a garage sale, she saw some cute baby closes that were inexpensive, so she purchased them for the client.

You are Sally’s coworker and you are concerned about her attachment to this client. You have discussed this issue with your supervisor who says, “Well, that’s just Sally. You know how she is.” Later that evening you visit a local club and see your supervisor there. She is on a date with one of the other caseworkers. You also see Sally there. You are a competent human services worker who is familiar with ethical boundaries and violations. Something needs to be done

In a two-page APA formatted paper address the following:

  • Identify the ethical issues and boundary violations in this scenario.
  • Propose solutions to resolve these violations including an ethical response to the client.
  • List potential persons or governing entities whom you could notify of the violations.

Essay on Catcher in the Rye

/in /by

This is a reader response exercise. It is clear that Catcher or O’Connor’s short stories have evoked some emotion or thought in many of you, whether revulsion, confusion, praise, condemnation, tolerance, inspiration, boredom, and so on. Whatever that thought process or emotion is, please hold on to it. Now, think about three concrete reasons or literary devices used within just one of the stories that you have read this semester that have helped evoke this reaction from you. Reasons and literary devices will vary. Here are just a few: characterization, setting, plot pattern, tone, narrative style, diction, descriptions, symbolism, use of hyperbole, use of foreshadowing, cultural sentiments, political message(s), use of religion, resolution, theme, profanity, racial discord, originality or lack thereof, rebellion against power structures, ambiguity…etc. Once you have selected the story and the three reasons/devices, write a simple essay (five paragraphs are sufficient) examining how those three elements have aroused the respective thought or emotion in you. Please note that your essay must include evidence from the story in each supporting paragraph, and it must not exceed four pages, counting the Work Cited page.

Helping Note: Thesis is the emotion/thought that is incited, and plan of development points are the three reasons/literary devices that have stirred this reaction. You may write this essay in the first person, if you prefer.

List three positions or arguments from a paper; Explanation of sources

Look over the attached article, “The Ubiquity of
Energy-Dense Snack Foods”. Note: You do NOT need to
understand all the details to complete this activity.

  • Discuss what types of positions or arguments you think
    that information in this article might support in an academic paper, and
    why; the same article might support different topics in different ways.List three examples – 2-3 sentences
    each.
    • For example, a paper on environmental effects of
      fracking might claim a certain number of animal species are affected in
      the process. One person might feel that paper supports the idea that
      fracking is harmful while another might say, “Hey, if only that number of
      animals is affected, it’s not too bad.”
  • Explain how careful selection of sources can enhance
    the effectiveness of an argument in various settings such as in social
    conversations, social media comments, and academic papers.

Primera semana

Contestar las siguientes preguntas como un primer acercamiento al texto: (30 puntos)

1. ¿Qué dos aspectos son importantes para el autor en la reflexión sobre el ser humano?

2. ¿Qué márgenes establece el autor en torno a la reflexión sobre el ser humano?

3. Para el autor ¿qué puede significar “universo de sentido”?

R/1.¿Qué dos aspectos son importantes para el autor en la reflexión sobre el ser humano?

Considero que en esta reflexión el autor, destaca primero el aspecto de biológico o físico, que estudia al ser humano como un organismo biológico en proceso evolutivo y los aspectos de su conducta que ayudan a la sobrevivencia del individuo, en segundo lugar, el autor destaca el aspecto cultural o social que se basa en la búsqueda de los aspectos que son adquiridos a través del aprendizaje.

R/2.¿Qué márgenes establece el autor en torno a la reflexión sobre el ser humano?

El ser humano nace crece, se desarrolla y va adquiriendo mediante la cultura la educación, el lenguaje, la comunicación, las costumbres, que lo llevan a evolucionar y adquirir la capacidad necesaria que lo ayudan a adaptarse, modificar y dominar el medio ambiente para poder sobrevivir, estableciendo normas que le permiten una mejor convivencia social, porque de hecho el ser humano es un ser social.

R/3.Para el autor ¿Qué puede significar “universo de sentido”?

Opino que el autor se refiere a la capacidad que tiene el ser humano de distinguir entre el bien y el mal, no solo razonando, sino también de pensando, creando, trazándonos líneas o límites para ajustar nuestro mundo según las necesidades del entorno en que vivimos.

1. El «animal cultural» El hombre es un animal cultural, esto es, un ser que, a la vez que incardinado en una naturaleza sujeta a una legalidad necesaria, no se agota sin embargo en ella. Por el contrario, mediante la pre-visión, —fondo subyacente de toda cultura—, aparecen en el horizonte humano una multiplicidad de opciones, así como la capacidad para elegir de entre ellas la que en cada momento se estima como más conveniente, rompiendo a través del acto voluntario aquella normación implacable. Ahora bien, al igual que el hombre se abre al mundo desde su biología, también dicha biología condiciona el mareo de esa apertura. Queremos decir que únicamente nos cabe llegar a alcanzar aquello que ese marco biológico nos posibilita. De ahí la relevancia y significación que puede adquirir el olvido de tales

Effects of Children on Parental Sex-Role Orientation

/in /by

Conventionally, social scientists examine how parents create gender roles for children from birth through adolescence. Lawrence Ganong and Marilyn Coleman have found that children can also affect their parents’ gender roles. They administered the Bem Sex Role Inventory to 306 parents (153 couples) who had daughters only (N = 41), sons only (N = 41), or an equal number of sons and daughters (N = 71).

Fathers with sons had lower “femininity” scores than fathers with daughters only. Mothers with sons were significantly more “feminine” than those who only had daughters. These results do not support the “common sense” expectation that socializing daughters would have a feminizing effect on parents and that socializing sons would have a masculinizing effect.

Ganong and Coleman contend that parents become more sex-typed (that is, fathers become more masculine than feminine and mothers more feminine than masculine). Parents seem to respond to sons by becoming clearer role models of masculinity and femininity. Daughters, on the other hand, have no such effect because there is relatively less concern for teaching them a rigid gender role. The study supports yet another interactionist dimension to gender roles, that the child-parent relationship is mutually influential. See Lawrence Ganong and Marilyn Coleman, “Effects of Children on Parental Sex-Role Orientation,” Journal of Family Issues 8 (September 1987): 278–290.

Respond to the article above written by Jon Witt with 200 words and respond to two other students’ posts with 100 words each. Do you agree or disagree? What does the text tell you about gender roles?

Feedback to Classmates

Considering the language from the Grading Rubric for the Week 5 Final Project, ask questions and give suggestions that will assist your classmates in further developing their Final Project. Avoid generic compliments or criticisms, as neither will assist your classmates; instead, strive to provide timely, substantive, and directive feedback, which will be most helpful toward the finalization of the portfolio. Your responses must demonstrate a sophisticated understanding or application of the concepts covered in Week 4. At least two of your responses should be a minimum of 150 words.

There are two classmates posts that I need to reply to in the attached document. Reply to both using the info above.

Develop research questions

/in /by

Your assignment is to draft three or more research questions. These questions can be either qualitative or quantitative or a mixture of both.

Qualitative: Research questions must be aligned with the purpose statement. Qualitative research questions should be open-ended and reflect the nature of the qualitative design (avoid yes/no and closed-ended questions).

Quantitative: Research questions must be aligned with the purpose statement and should include proposed hypothesis(es). Ensure the research questions and hypothesis(es) are aligned with the purpose statement. The research questions and hypotheses must be directly answerable, specific, and testable based on the data collected.

Hypotheses
(Quantitative/Mixed Studies Only)

Both null hypotheses and alternative hypotheses should be stated. Each must directly correspond with a research question. Hypotheses must be stated in testable, potentially negatable, form with each variable operationalized. Note: Each hypothesis represents one distincttestable prediction. Upon testing, each hypothesis must be entirely supported or entirely negated.

Length: 1 page, not including title page (reference page not required)

Research topic is;What effect does sport facilities have on hispanic communities?
