Topic: Compose a five paragraph analytical paper that celebrates the application of your passion topic (Toxic Masculinity & Gender Roles/ feminism) in one literary work from the 19th century (Jane Austen, “Pride and Prejudice”) to a work of contemporary literature (Zadie Smith, “The Waiters Wife”). Your analytical approach may compare, contrast, or juxtapose a literary motif, a stylistic pattern, or an insight from our social and emotional learning curriculum. Use textual evidence. While two body paragraphs will be devoted to comparing, contrasting, or juxtaposing elements of your thesis, an additional body paragraph will be designed to explore the growth of your passion topic. This third paragraph will supply textual evidence to support your topic sentence claim about your topic, how it evolved perhaps. You can use the pronoun “I” in this paragraph to explore the nuances of your academic growth.
Your introduction and conclusion paragraphs will enhance your overall thesis, while this additional body paragraph that delineates the evolution of your passion topic will most likely explain—implicitly or explicitly—how a student-centered opportunity (#VoiceandChoice = #PBL) to develop your topic led to productive and meaningful deeper learning moments.
