For this assignment, you will need to select one text (a comic, movie, or TV show) as your primary source. You will then research how its narrative, directly or indirectly, reflects a current issue today. To do this, you will research both popular and scholarly sources to find your own secondary sources. Secondary sources should be on the issue, not your text. Be sure that you are interested in the topic you will be researching, as you will be spending over about a month, learning more about the issue. Issues can range for moral and personal ones like we explored in paper one, or they can be larger social issues as discussed in paper two. Learning objectives for this paper will aim to further skills in literary analysis, to research and assess credible sources, and to synthesize the information with your own ideas. Other objectives: to construct and revise claims to be specific and clear in response to the prompt, develop evidence and analysis to support those claims, and organize ideas into a clearly written and cohesive paper.
How effectively does your chosen story reflect a current social issue ? What’s more, what is the significance of engaging with and analyzing issues like these through that genre today?
Paper must be 1700 words & include a Works Cited page
Use only one fictional story as your primary text of your choice to analyze
Central claim and subclaims should all be based on your paper’s focus (the selected text), taking a position on its effectiveness to discuss a specific issue, stating reasons for that claim as well as providing a significance
Each subclaim should connect to a distinct analytical point or reason to support your position on how that text effectively reflects on or examines your issue
Each body paragraph should quote or paraphrase from the primary text at least once
Each body paragraph should also quote directly from one secondary source
You must cite and quote three secondary sources throughout the paper in total: one of which must be scholarly, peer reviewed sources from the library
** Reminder: for the three secondary sources they cannot be about your fictional source–they must be about the issue you are writing about
Formatting: All assignments should be double spaced with one-inch margins on all sides, typed in Times New Roman 12pt font. The top left corner of your first page should include: your name, my name, the course title, and the due date. The title should be centered underneath, before the text of your essay. Do not change the font size of your title, and do not include any extra spaces before or after the title or in between paragraphs (may need to check settings on Word to fix this). On all pages, the top right corner should have your last name and the page number. The Works Cited page should be on its own page, as the last page of the final draft. Works Cited should be centered (no bold, underline, etc). Citations must be alphabetized, double spaced, and use hanging indents. Do not add extra spaces between citations.
