Compare “The Garden Party” with “The Monkey Garden.” Both of these stories deal with the topic of “the loss of innocence.” In what significant way or ways are they similar in their treatment of the loss of innocence. Or, in what significant way or ways are they different. Notice that this is a comparison essay, so you will need to review the lecture on the Compare and Contrast essay—particularly how to organize a comparison essay. The most important sentence in the Headrick pages is this: “There must be a reason to consider the two or more texts you are looking at in a single essay, and that reason must be made clear to your reader.  essay will be looking only at similarities or only at differences, but not both. Notice that the word “significant” is emphasized in these topics. An observation that, for instance, “both protagonists are female,” is not a significant similarity. Underline your thesis statement, but not your topic sentences. Have a title, but not a title page.

Over the course of this semester, you’ve responded to several analytical questions related to the six short stories we read. In your discussion of these stories, you’ve reflected on historical, social, and political contexts, you’ve considered the author’s purpose, audience, and assumptions, and you’ve discussed ways that the authors use persuasion techniques and literary devices to communicate their implied arguments. The research paper is a culminating project in which you combine all of the above skills in order to analyze one of our short stories in more depth.    1. How is the story relevant in historical, social, and/or political context(s)? (Choose one, two, or all three contexts to examine) 2. What was the author’s intended purpose in writing this story? (In other words, what message was the author trying to send?) 3. Who was the author’s intended audience and/or what audience is most impacted by this story? 4. What assumptions did the author make in his/her story? (Consider what the author assumed about the audience and/or a specific time period) 5. Which modes of persuasion (ethos, pathos, logos) has the author utilized, and how effective is the author in doing so? 6.  How does the author use literary devices (symbolism, characterization, foreshadowing, etc.) to convince the audience of something? (Choose as many devices as you’d like)   To complete this assignment, you’ll need to: ·      Provide a brief summary of the story ·      Write a multi-sentence thesis statement that provides a logical plan of development (road map) for your essay ·      Use AXES body paragraph structure (or another logical organization structure) to organize your ideas (I am not going to set a page length; I assume that you will write enough to discuss each of the questions above satisfactorily. I would bet that this will take you 8-12 pages to do.) ·      Reference and cite at least five outside sources** (any sources that I have provided you throughout the semester can be used, but you need to find five of your own as well; please see my note about sources on the next page) ·      Include direct quotations from the story itself when applicable ·      End your analysis with a statement about the overall significance of your research  ·      Demonstrate an understanding of MLA conventions, particularly in the use of formatting, in-text citations, and the Works Cited page **A note about your outside sources: You should be looking for literary criticisms already written about the story you’ve chosen or its author. You will find these kinds of sources using the library databases and/or Google Scholar. You may not use any “.com” sources from the internet unless I approve it first.  The story im writing about is woman hollering creek.
