Create a detailed introduction that contains a thesis that offers a debatable claim based on one of the prompts on the list.Apply critical thought by analyzing the primary source you selected from the approved List of Literary Works. Avoid summary and personal reflection.

Develop body paragraphs that contain clear topic sentences and examples that support the argument.

Write a conclusion that reaffirms the thesis statement and includes a summary of the key ideas in essay.

Apply your knowledge of literary elements and other concepts in your response to the prompt. Reference the list of literary elements found in Week Two of the course and discussion forums.

Incorporate research from the primary and secondary sources.

Consider the role of setting, or context, in one of the works. For example, a story that takes place in a wild and natural setting might include characters struggling against nature to survive. A story set in a city might include themes of alienation and anonymity because of the impersonal crowds and busy city life. Cultural contexts can combine with both urban and rural elements to produce further meaning, as well. Consider the following questions as you critically read one of the texts below: Does the protagonist conflict with the setting or have particular interactions with it? Does the protagonist’s relationship with the setting connect with his/her development as a character? Does the setting reveal other themes and conflicts?

 

“The Man of the Crowd” (Edgar Allan Poe, 1845)

1. Guiding Questions:How does the city setting–busy streets, buildings with specific purposes, dark backstreets– produce a disorienting and confining experience for people in the story?
2. How do all of the different occupations and “types” of workers in the city combine to communicate that no one is an individual person and no one really knows each other?
3. What sorts of problems do the narrator and some of the other characters have as a result of this alienating city life? (Think of the narrator’s obsession with the man.)
