Paper prompt: Please select an artwork (Rumi, Emily Dickenson, Brehm’s selection, Joyce’s “The Dead, Richard Wright, Kimsooja, or Andre’s selection) to reflect on the readings from the second half of the semester.
The papers are 8 pages type written, double spaced. Please use the material from the class to develop your thesis. Back up your thesis with arguments and examples from the class readings. Please include a title, internal citations with page numbers, and a reference list at the end. Also, please cite at least 7 class readings for each paper. A good paper demonstrates that you have integrated the material from the class discussions and readings and can use it to analyze your topic. Use the bulk of your energy reading closely and thinking seriously about the materials you have (rather than doing outside research).
Please see Essential Writing Skills, by Gill (attached) for a review of basics for the academic essay which will guide my reading of your work. The grading scale for the class will be as follows: 93-100% (A) 90-92 (A-), 87-89 (B+), 83-86 (B), 80-82 (B-), 77-79 (C+), 70-76 (C), 63-69 (D), and below (F)
