Literature

Using Hart Crane as the modernist.  The first few pages will be the annotated bibliography and the last 4 pages are analytical reading.  The modernists’ importance to the development of American Literature cannot be overstated.  Much of their contribution focused on one or more of five key areas: 1) how to deal with [literary] tradition; 2) how to deal with popular culture in serious literature—high vs. low art; 3) literature taking part in politics, social reform, troubles of a time vs. exploring universal truths, questions; 4) the instability of representation;   5) individual vs. community. In order to give you a more thorough understanding of this movement’s contribution, you’ll be more deeply into a modernist author’s work.   The assignment has two parts:   1) Annotated Bibliography: using any of a number of databases, find five scholarly articles on your chosen author’s work.  Annotate these articles—that is, summarize and assess—their contents.  For more on the content of annotations, please see the OWL at Purdue’s page here. You can see examples of an annotation’s structure here.   2) Analytical Reading: The second part of the assignment is a short (4-5 pages) analysis of  your chosen author’s contribution to one or more of the areas listed above.  Content related to his/her biography should be directly applicable to the creative work that the essay analyzes.

Read the first 5 chapters of the book The originals by Adam Grant. I have it on my kindle so when you take on the assignment I will give u the login information for accessing. Please note the title of the book and the author. Also note it is not a “novel” as that is a work of fiction. In your papers, refer to the title as Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World for the first mention and you can shorten to Originals for subsequent referrals. Remember that titles of books are always in italics or underlined, they are not put in quotes, but chapter titles are put in quotation marks. In 4-5 pages (typed, double-spaced) reflect on three ideas you found “original” in the book, in the sense that they provided new knowledge to you. 1). Explain the context 2). Discuss relevancy and/or possible applications to this class (This is a introduction to choreography and dance) (include how it is relevant to our body movements and dancing) 3). Share how you might envision these ideas relating to other aspects of your education (example I am studying communications and Public Relations) You should discuss these three connections for each of the examples you use—for instance, if you write about procrastination vis-à-vis Grant you should explain how he uses it and what is original about the usage in your opinion, how it can be applied to our class, and how it connects to other aspects of your education. Your paper should have both introductory and concluding paragraphs and be proofread to omit editing errors. You must cite any information that you use parenthetically in text and provide an attached works cited page including the text and any other sources used. If you use quotes or ideas from Grant you must cite in your paper. Whenever citing from the book you must use page number. The more you cite from the book the better.

Discuss the difference(s) between Caliban and Ariel in relation to the differences between the “field slave” and the “house slave” in later Southern plantation regimes. If you’ve seen Tarantino’s Django Unchained, you might think about and discuss this question in terms of the contrast between Django (Jamie Foxx) and Stephen (Samuel Jackson) in relation to Calvin (Leonardo DiCaprio) in that film     Neither Caliban nor Ariel is represented as being exactly “human.” Compare and contrast the representation of these two figures in the play in relation to their respective “non-human” statuses.   Are we supposed to “like” Prospero (approve, endorse, applaud, etc.)? Do you “like” Prospero? Why or why not?
