Literature

1) After watching A Streetcar Named Desire, what do you think of the performances? Did anything surprise you about this movie? What do you think the movie was saying about gender and class? 2) How is the version of “Battle Royale” in the book different from the video What are some of the symbols in this scene, and what do you think they represent? 3) Ginsberg’s poetry is breakthrough in many ways, but is undoubtedly obscene. Even worse, Ginsberg was a member of NAMBLA, an organization that supports pedopihilia and wants to remove laws against underage sex. In other words, most people would regard him as a horrible human being. So, should we bother to study him? What about his poetry makes him worth remembering, in spite of his behavior and beliefs? Where should we draw the line on “cancel culture”? 4) After watching the Wallace video and reading his essay, comment on whether you think he is able to take his own advice. Where do you see him practicing the kind of good writing he is talking about in the video, and where do you see him falling victim to his own criticisms? Or does he?

Sample Literature Review Analysis 2929 unread replies.9393 replies. Before You Begin: Skim the sample literature reviews (note that sample two is a larger study, so you need only to read the introduction and literature review sections). Sample One–The Effect of Games and Simulations on Higher Education: A Literature Review Sample Two–Grading and Assessments: Correlations of Variables Affecting Teaching and Course Assessments Prompt: Address any two of the following topics in response to one of the above articles, quoting and summarizing from the appropriate sources as needed: • how multiple sources are addressed within a common subtopic (how the writers put various sources “in conversation with one another”) • the value and/or purpose of topic headings • style of word choices and language (refer to APA style guidelines for assistance) • indicators of audience and purpose of literature reviews What I wrote!!! Class, From the literature review of the effect of games and simulations on higher education samples, the author has reviewed articles and sources that have commonly been searched in electronic databases. These include; google scholar, ERIC, search plus, and Web of Science, among several others. The author searches for sources that have a common topic review them and references those with similar information about the topic of interest. The literature review of this sample has several headings that relate to gaming (Vlachopoulos & Makri, 2017). Some sources and journals have information on whether games should be included in the school syllabus. The keywords of this topic are games-based learning, the importance of games, roles of games, and educational games. The author has also searched for a combination of all the mentioned keywords to determine the sources to review. For every heading, the sources referenced give similar information and give the same content. The researcher has used both sources that have been reviewed previously and new sources in their referencing. The importance of using reviewed sources is that the sources indicate the outcome of the topic of interest through reviewers. The contribution of game-based learning can be easier identified through reviewed sources (Vlachopoulos & Makri, 2017). The writers address only a few sources within a subtopic and reference them within their findings. The sample has reviewed like thirty articles in a subtopic, but only two or three are quoted. Lastly, the researcher has carried out a detailed analysis of the database bibliography concerning games. The data selected from the literature must have complete information on the importance of games in various scientific disciplines such as education, IT, business, nursing, and psychology, among others (Vlachopoulos & Makri, 2017). The set of data used as sources must undergo the selection process that determines whether the source is rich in data required for the research topic. Nikki First assignment that is due. Post the Research Question you developed in last week’s module to help guide your Literature Review research focus. Revise as needed to present a narrow, clear focus. Then, post your working three-story thesis, following the discussion and examples from “Constructing the Thesis and Argument from the Ground Up” (Links to an external site.) from Oregon Writes Open Writing Text. Due Dates and Posting Guidelines: Initial post due no later than Saturday, 11:59pm Pacific Time. Two peer responses due no later than Monday, 11:59pm Pacific Time. In your peer responses, offer feedback on the scope of the research question and the clarity of the thesis. Is the thesis clearly arguable? Is the thesis specific? Does the thesis include implications? Second Assignment due. You will write a self-contained literature review of 5-6 critical/scholarly sources that addresses your specific research topic or research question. The purpose of the assignment will be to more fully understand the complexity of the topic and to help you begin to develop an informed position within the conversation that you will later defend in your research paper. Your literature review will contain: • a title page • an introduction that o introduces the sub-topic and develops its context o identifies why/to whom this sub-topic is valuable o announces the purpose of the review • a body that o is divided into three or more topical sub-headings o summarizes the sources in relation to those headings o synthesizes the sources in relation to one another (puts the article ideas in conversation with one another) o evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of sources in relation to those headings • a conclusion that o recaps the topics/perspectives that are well-covered by the research o identifies topics/perspectives that are under examined by the research o poses possible questions you would want to answer if you were to develop this topic into a research paper • a references page Additional Requirements • APA style and format guidelines • 5-6 critical/scholarly sources • approximately 1500-2000 words See Paper Two: Literature Review rubric to help guide your drafting and revisions.

This week is about thinking critically about the master narratives that have shaped how world history has been written and taught. Namely, the paradigm of Eurocentrism that has dominated the story, which holds western civilizations as supreme. For your discussion post this week please think about the narratives of western civilization that you have been taught, and use at least 100 words to answer the following questions. What is one way that you learned these narratives? (Lessons in school, movies/shows in popular culture, etc,.) What is one particular historical moment/event that you remember being portrayed and framed in this way? (ancient Egypt, Columbus’ conquest, etc,.) Finally, how would you invert or flip that narrative to re-write the story into a “new global storyline”? (For instance, what we are taught is the heroic story of Columbus and conquest could actually be a story of Indigenous resilience to invasion.)

The Mark on the Wall consists almost entirely of interior monologue – the uninterrupted thoughts of a character just as they occur in the mind and voice of that character.  Yet near its end we get dialogue.  What is the effect of Woolf’s choice to introduce dialog here?  What seems significant about what is said? about who says it?”THE MARK ON THE WALL” by Virginia Woolf

Outdoor Experience Description – Detail a real or imaginary experience walking through an outdoor event or activity, such as a zoo, open-air market, festival, etc. You only need to develop one paragraph for this assignment, but it should include many sensory details and directional transitions. Start with a topic sentence, which will also serve as the thesis statement, that explains the exhibition you are experiencing as well as mentions how the adventure ignites your senses. In the sentences following, describe your journey. What do you see? Hear? Feel? Smell? Taste? Where are these experiences located (directional transitions)? To the right? Just above? The reader should be able to build the environment around you and take part in the sensory experience you illustrate as he or she reads along, so be as descriptive as necessary, touching upon all five senses within the body paragraph. Finally, complete your paragraph with a concluding sentence that summarizes your outing, and make sure it has a point! In other words, what did you take away from this excursion? Sample thesis statement: As I walk toward the Brookfield Zoo entrance gate for my first zoo experience, I notice a flurry of lively activity in front of me, so on my way to the gorilla den, I can feel my excitement building, and as I get closer, the sounds and smells strengthen, making the chill of my cold beverage much more apparent; I hope I am ready for this. Notes ·         You can use either past or present tense verbs to describe your experience in this assignment, but avoid unnecessary tense shifts. ·         In addition to directional transitions, be sure to use standard transitions between sentences where applicable so that your ideas are fluid from start to finish.   Format Requirements: Header: Include a header in the upper left-hand corner of your writing assignment with the following information: ·        Your first and last name  ·        Course Title (Composition I)  ·        Assignment name (Descriptive Paragraph)  ·        Current Date   Page Layout: ·        MLA style documentation (please see the tutorial in the course topic) ·        Last name and page number in upper-right corner of each page  ·        Double-spacing throughout ·        Title, centered after heading ·        Standard font (Times New Roman or Calibri) ·        1″ margins on all sides ·        Save the file as .docx  or  .doc format Length: This assignment should be at least 15 sentences in a single paragraph.   Underline your thesis statement.

Summarize the thrust of Orwell’s argument in your own words. What is he saying, and how does he say it? Orwell writes, “Look back through this essay, and for certain you will find that I have accidentally committed the very faults I am protesting against.” Find an example of this that really stood out to you. Copy the passage (without trying to fill your word-length requirement with a giant passage) and explain.  Find an example where Orwell implements his own rules marvelously. Copy the passage and explain.  Is his argument still relevant today? (Hint from Rob: YES) If so, why? Which social or political aspects does Orwell describe that still feel current? Which ones feel dated, and how could you update them?
