Interpretive Paper With Sources

/in /by

Choose one literary work from from our anthology (or one not included in our anthology as long as you get approval from your instructor) that can be interpreted in various ways, and then summarize and synthesize at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed articles that offer different interpretations of the work. (Note: You CANNOT choose the same literary work that you are using for the first paper). Finally, EITHER argue for one of the interpretations from the scholarly articles OR Argue against one of the interpretations from the scholarly articles.

Writing Process:

  1. After choosing the literary work, use the Coastal Alabama Library of the databases available in the Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) to research at least two different interpretations of the story or poem. These interpretations must come from scholarly, peer-reviewed sources from the Coastal Alabama Library or AVL. No other sources will be accepted. The Coastal Alabama Learning Resource Center homepage has links to Alabama Virtual Library. The Gale Literary Sources database and the EBSCO Host database (for the EBSCO Host database, uncheck the section of the database that are not relevant to your search) are two good places to start. If you cannot find at least two different interpretations, you will need to choose a different work, so start early.

2. Read and re-read each critical article, taking notes on each critic’s interpretation.

3. Summarize each interpretation, being sure to include a clear statement, in your own words, of each critic’s interpretation of the story or poem and to paraphrase the main points and evidence each critic uses to substantiate (back up) his or her interpretation? Do not use any quotations in this section of the paper. Summarize and paraphrase the information from the sources.

  1. Although the interpretations are different, explain their differences and any similarities. Are the interpretations mutually exclusive (ie, if one is correct or true, the other cannot be), or could both interpretations be seen as valid? Do not use any quotations in this section of the paper. Summarize and paraphrase the information from the sources.

5. Finally, EITHER

argue for one of the interpretations from one of the scholarly articles

OR

argue against one of the interpretations from one of the scholarly articles.

The key to this section of the paper is picking one of the above options and developing a thesis that you then back up with plenty of textual evidence from the literary work AND your analysis of how that evidence supports your thesis. If you are going to argue for one of the interpretations, then you must find and analyze new and different evidence from the literary work that is not included in the original article. If you are going to argue against one of the interpretations, you need to find new evidence in the literary work and analyze it as well as show why the evidence why the critic is wrong and/or why he or she misinterpreted the evidence.

Length, Formatting, and Style Requirements:

The essay should be three to four pages typed (900-1200 words) and be written in MLA Style and Format. This includes 12-point Times New Roman font, double spaced pages, 1-inch margins, a proper heading, and a running head that includes your last name and page number. This also includes MLA in-text citation as well as a Works Cited page.

The essay should also be written in third-person point-of-view and in present tense (literary present).

The essay should have an interesting title and introduction, and the final sentence of the introduction should be your thesis statement and essay map (an essay map is a brief statement of the main points you are going to use in the paper to develop your thesis).

The essay should also include a satisfying concluding paragraph that not only restates your thesis and essay map in different words, but that also leaves your reader with something to think about after he or she has finished your paper.

At least two outside sources must be used and both must either come from the Coastal Alabama Library or from the Alabama Virtual Library. Use of sources from other places will result in a zero on the paper.

Assessment: Assessed According to the English Department Course Grading Rubric for Research Papers

Suggested Length for Each Section of the Paper:

Introduction: One well-developed paragraph

Summary of First Article: One to two well-developed paragraphs

Summary of Second Article: One to two well-developed paragraphs

Synthesis of the Two Articles (Explaining Similarities and Differences): One well-developed paragraph

Arguing for/against one of the Articles: At least two very well-developed paragraphs with plenty of textual evidence and original analysis. This section should clearly demonstrate your ability to interact with a scholarly work, carefully choose and marshal textual evidence to support your ideas, and analyze and explain textual evidence.

Conclusion: One well-developed paragraph

Paper for Movie/Film Class

/in /by

Part 1: View a feature film made between 1970 – 2000 you have not seen before (nor will see later in this class) by a great director or featuring a great actor or actress.

Comment on the specific film you saw. Pay particular attention to the camerawork (cinematography), the editing (montage), and the sound (this can include the music). What did you like, and what did you dislike, about what you saw? Why do you like the things you like, and why do you dislike the things you dislike? Is the film a good film, or is it not? (Note: This is not the same question as whether or not you liked it. It is entirely possible to like a film that you are aware is not very good.) You should comment on the film both as a representative of its genre and as a film.

Part 2: Now that you have commented on the specific film you viewed, see if you can draw some general conclusions about the work of the director and one of the main actors or actresses. Be sure to comment on the overall impression you had of the film, including how you see it as an example of the its genre and time period. Remember, this is not a research paper. I am interested in what you have to say, not in what you can learn by reading up on the film or the filmmaker.

Part 3: On a separate page, insert the heading “My Criteria for Quality in Film.” Under that heading, use your comments about this film and its filmmaker as guidelines toward proposing five general statements indicative of your personal taste in movies. These statements should be numbered (1) through (10), and they should be written as complete sentences or a short paragraph. It might be useful to introduce each statement with such language as “Excellent movies feature,” or “A movie is more likely to be good if,” or “A characteristic of high-quality cinema is.” (For example, if you commented in the body of your essay that you liked the acting because it was realistic and you liked the script because it had a happy ending, you could propose these two statements as criteria for quality: “(1) Excellent movies feature realistic acting. (2) A movie is more likely to be good if it ends happily.” Do not just put something like “Good movies feature good acting.” The point here is for you to think about—and then explain—what such quality words as good, excellent, and effective actually mean.

  1. Read the two discussion posts below and respond by extending the discussion by adding new insights, different examples from your experience, or from other sources.
  2. Apply critical thinking. Agreement, quoting other learners, or repeating the case content will not be counted.
  3. The response to each post should 100 words each.

#1: The issues presented in this article are something I have had long lengthy discussions with many people about. I am a prior law enforcement officer of twenty years and was a homicide supervisor. Over the many years of cell phone evolution, the access to these devices has changed for law enforcement. I am on both sides of the fence on this issue and I will explain further. Prior to the requirements to obtain search warrants for cell phone access, my investigators would use the data inside of cell phones to solve horrible crimes and gather important intelligence. Obtaining a search warrant for cell phone data was only a minor inconvenience at first until apple made the phones inaccessible. I feel that many crimes today could be averted if law enforcement had access to the data on people’s phones. Now on the opposite side of the coin, as a current citizen, I understand the stance of Apple and respect it. Allowing untethered access to people’s data would be an invasion of privacy. When we first started accessing phones, we were looking at recent calls, call logs, pictures and text. Today cell phones track everything you do and say. I do not believe the government should have unquestioned access to any device without prior approval. The FBI in this circumstance used a rational model of decision making. They identified the problem of limited access to the Apple phone. They had to think of alternatives when Apple refused to assist in building the software to access the phone. They implemented a temporary solution to the problem by utilizing hackers. After debating this issue from both sides of the fence, I think investigators should be allowed access to cell phone data in extreme cases if it is first presented to a judge. Access to someone’s data is already possible in other ways, but gaining access to a phones data in an expeditious way can save many people from further dangers.

#2: What is the point of privacy when the damage has been done? Is the death of so many people of terrorism worth the privacy of your emails or phone? It is better to be safe than sorry. I believe our privacy should be protected but when it does come to only terrorism, Apple and other technology companies should comply with the government. I do not think the government has time to go through millions of people’s mobile devices to snoop on our personal lives. I understand that it is our right to have privacy, but it could be saving innocent lives to prevent other future attacks. If you do not have anything to hide, then you should not need to worry about your privacy. We need to think of the nation’s safety. I believe the government should be transparent with us. At least we know what they are up to so there are not any surprises. I do not agree with the government spying on us all the time, but if bypassing the encrypted device of a terrorist suspect, then I think it is constitutional. This will hopefully help find informational to prevent any other terror attacks. According to Pilon and Epstein, “As the president said, the process involves some necessary loss of privacy. But it’s trivial, certainly in comparison to the losses that would have arisen if the government had failed to discern the pattern that let it thwart the 2009 New York subway bombing plot by Colorado airport shuttle driver Najibullah Zazi, an Afghan-American, who was prosecuted and ultimately pleaded guilty” (2013). They should go through Najibullah’s personal devices to see if others are involved to prevent another attack like this one.

Questions for Persepolis

  1. Marjane rarely talks about her friends for more than one chapter. Why do you think this is?
  2. What are the roles for women in Iranian society as depicted in the book? How do Marjane and her mother and grandmother both play into and resist those roles?
  3. Marjane often uses humor to cope with difficult situations. Is this always the best course of action? Are her actions ever inappropriate? What other ways might she use to cope?
  4. What difference does it make to your reading that this book is a memoir, a rendering of Marjane Satrapi’s own life, rather than a fictional story about life in Iran?
  5. How would you describe the child Marji to whom we’re introduced at the beginning of Persepolis? To what extent is she like children anywhere? To what extent is she different from the child that you were or the children that you grew up with?
  6. Why do you think Satrapi chose to tell her story in words and images? What does the combination make possible that words or images alone would not?
