Literature

In this paper, you will choose a topic from the list below and treat it in 8-10 pages using at least six secondary sources. What is the good life according to Lucretius? How does St. Augustine find happiness? What is a good man according to Marcus Aurelius? What makes a good state according to Thucydides? What is the difference between the East and the West according to Herodotus? How are women viewed in the East and West? How is a soldier viewed in East and West? How do East and West learn from each other? What is truly real according to Plato? How is justice found according to Aeschylus? A top of your choice using the Norton Book of Classical Literature approved by Dr Russell.

In one 500-word post, respond to at least one of the following questions: If you were asked for input into a sex education curriculum (you decide what grade levels), what suggestions might you make? How have the readings in our class so far informed your vision of effective sex education? How do this week’s readings prompt us to expand how we think about and address sexual violence — whether we address it through activism, policy changes, writing, art, media, or something else? You should provide examples and citations from at least two readings. Citations should look like (Garcia 2012: 61) or like (Garcia 61), for example. You are also welcomed and encouraged to reflect on your own experiences.

Note that the descriptions, while lush, are often maddeningly incomplete. It’s impressionist writing, designed more to give you the feeling of a place rather than an exact picture. Is this effective? If so, why? If not, why not? An unnamed Narrator sets up Marlow, who speaks the rest of the story, all in quotes. Marlow is limited, fallible — an active witness, but a confused one. Do you think you’d be equally confused, given the odd circumstances around you? Much has been written about the “glow brings out the haze” in terms of his obscure writing. What do you think? “Men enough to face the darkness.” Comment, please. Fresleven, the Dane, killed over two hens. What do you make of the incident? What do you make of the Belgian doctor measuring Marlow’s head? There are African slaves chained together at the neck; they are clearly starving to death. Comment, please. We are introduced to Mr. Kurtz as a first-class agent. What do you think that means? Mr. Kurtz is also called a prodigy, an emissary of pity, science, and progress. What does all that mean? (As pointed out in the Content section, Conrad is a supreme ironist. What do you think he’s setting up with all this high-flown description?) Mr. Kurtz, finally, is a “universal genius” and Marlow hates lies. Hm. Heart of Darkness, Part II Now that you’ve finished Heart of Darkness, what do you think? Be honest. I can take it. Specifics: why does he miss his late Helsman awfully? This is an important point, one that Conrad uses to balance WHAT against corruption? Page 50, in my text; if you don’t have the same text, please find it: Conrad’s great comment about restraint. What restrains a human being from doing the unthinkable? Your thoughts on this passage, please. When we finally get to Kurtz we discover that he has become the worst mass murderer of them all. Human sacrifices offering to him. How has this happened? Comment please. (Also, please, on the gorgeous detail of the skulls at his compound all facing inward.) The worst thing anyone in the Company will say is that Kurtz’s methods were “unsound.” Why don’t they have any more condemnation than that? Why does Kurtz say “the horror”? Do you agree with Marlow’s take on it? Your thoughts on “what party? Any party” please. Finally, why does Marlow lie to the Intended?

Will attached Assignment Overview Earlier in the course, you converted your research topic into an overarching or primary research question. Even the most focused research question may contain within it a series of more fundamental and related questions. Once these are determined, the researcher must then determine the kinds of information necessary to answer them. By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following EPAs and practice behaviours: C4: Engage In Practice-informed Research and Research-informed Practice C4.GP.B Apply critical thinking to engage in analysis of quantitative and qualitative research methods and research findings. Assignment Description In this assignment, you will identify a series of subquestions that must be answered in order to find the answer or answers to the primary question. You will also begin to identify the kinds of data you will need, from whom you will gather it, and which methods you will apply to your proposed study. The approach you use “may depend on your topic, purpose, and intended use of the study results, as well as the orientation toward social science that you adopt” (Neuman, 2013, p. 110). The subquestions you have identified will help you determine the kinds of data you would need to collect in order to address your research question. Who will be answering these questions: Who will your participants be? Is the data quantitative or qualitative in nature—should it be in the form of numbers or words? What methods might you apply to glean the information that you seek? What instruments, measures, or tools would you use in your study? Also, identify how you would analyze the data that you collect. Will you be conducting statistical analyses of any kind? Or, will you be using coding and categorizing? Will you be using any computer software to assist with the analysis? Finally, consider the results of the study. Who should know about these results? How will you present them? Assignment Instructions For this assignment: Restate your overarching research question. Identify critical subquestions related to a primary research question. In other words, what questions require answers in order to address the primary question? Identify a relevant pool of participants. Describe data sources (artefacts, literature, et cetera) relevant to a given research problem. Are you seeking information represented by numbers or words? Stated differently, are you interested in quantitative or qualitative data, or both? Describe these. Identify contextually appropriate data-collection tools. Explain the approach to relevant data interpretation. Be sure to explain why you have selected this approach. Consider whether you will use any computer software or programs to assist with the data analysis. Explain the appropriate audience and medium for final data analysis. Include how you propose to present them and what format would be most appropriate to communicate your results to your audience.

You will also be discussing various articles read in this unit including Bartholomae’s “Inventing the University” and make connections to your past expectations of academic writing. You will reflect on the academic expectations that you have experienced throughout your writing journey. In this essay, you will introduce yourself as a writer and tell me about your history with writing. Describe in detail various courses you have taken that included writing, topics that you covered in those courses, and what types of writing/assignments you have done in those courses. While much of your writing was probably done in English classes, do not limit yourself to just English classes; discuss other courses that involved writing too. Give me a thorough overview of your past with writing; this gives me context for your writing experience. Additionally, you must also discuss academic writing expectations according to the readings we have done in this unit. You must integrate all 3 readings from this unit; Irvin’s “What is Academic Writing?”, Zimmerman’s “Becoming a Self-Regulated Learner”, and Bartholomae’s “Inventing the University”. When integrating these texts discuss the academic expectations of members of the university based on the texts; be sure to include specific references and examples from all of the readings you are integrating. For example, if you mention a concept from “Inventing the University” consider finding a direct quote from the text to help support your discussion; this should be done for all 3 texts. Finally, you will work to connect your own experience to the discussion on academic writing expectations. Discuss how your past experience demonstrates the academic writing expectations from the readings you selected. For example, if a reading mentioned a strategy, learning method, skill, etc. that you have utilized or demonstrated in a past course you should discuss the example in detail. Also point to areas where you could have utilized the readings strategies, learning methods, skills, etc. in your past practices and experiences. Ultimately, you should be using these readings as a lens to look at and analyze your academic history for evidence of these academic writing expectations. Audience & Genre You should consider your primary audience as me; think of this as an introduction of yourself as a writer. Your secondary audience should be your classmates, as some of them will read your draft during peer response. The genre in which you should present this writing assignment is an essay. An essay should include an introduction, body paragraphs supporting your focus, and a conclusion (Note: the genre of an essay does not require a 5 paragraph format). Requirements: 4 Pages, double space, 11 pt. Arial Font, 1-inch margins

Write about Death Angel By Robert Black For more information on Robert Black read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Black_(author)

Analyze a published article that says something important to you. How does the author connect with you as her or his audience?

So by now, you have read a lot of Emerson.  And a lot of you in your essays said that he is very confusing and at times frustrating, writer.  I totally agree.  We’ll be reading more of him, but we’ll also be transitioning to other writers, most specifically Henry David Thoreau (who is much, much easier to understand).  So this assignment is going to be a pretty straightforward one.  The prompt is: What do you think of Emerson? I want you to be VERY specific here. Don’t just say he’s confusing–tell me why and tell me the implications of that.  Many people have said that Emerson is confusing on purpose, and that is a kind of unkindness to his readers (I don’t disagree).  So talk about that kind of stuff.  You can write whatever you want in any kind of way you want; but again, be VERY specific.  The more specific the better. Use quotes, then talk about these quotes. Use Thoreau to help you explain Emerson, etc. Your essays should be at least two pages double spaced

Discussion: ( one paragraph)What did lesbians see that gay men did? What was different about women’s experience in or out of the military and men’s? What forces do you think were at play that caused these different responses?Instruction: No outside sources will be allowed!!! Just use the reading uploaded.Week 9: What do lesbian see that gay men don’t seem to?Canaday and Meyer argue that women openly and loudly resisted the military’s attempt to silence and court martial them out of the service. This was almost the opposite of gay men who found blue discharges humiliating and stayed in the closet in order to receive benefits.This is a general question wrapped into three questions. I am attempting to frame the meaning of the question or discussion that I want you to have. So, don’t answer them each individually.What did lesbians see that gay men did? What was different about women’s experience in or out of the military and men’s? What forces do you think were at play that caused these different responses?When you are posting make sure that you use a quote or paraphrase of something that you see in the reading. This will help you and the rest of the class build and create a source evidence for future essays.
