For this essay, choose any of the following topics below and apply it to one of last two novels.<\/b><\/p>\n

(The Good Soldier or The Emperor\u2019s <\/i><\/b>Babe<\/i>)<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Ford, Ford Madox. The Good Soldier (1915)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You will need to narrow the topic to make it manageable for the essay and angle it to make it meaningful. While it is important to <\/div>\n
acknowledge the obvious elements of a novel, the most compelling and original arguments will then move to analyze other less obvious <\/div>\n
parts that may be overlooked by most readers. For example, for topic #1, instead of selecting characters that quite clearly appear to be <\/div>\n
either \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad,\u201d try to choose more ambiguous characters and develop your own analysis of them; or choose characters that might appear to be one way, either \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad,\u201d and then argue that they are actually the opposite. Remember that your essay must follow <\/div>\n
the conventions of English essays and use MLA Format<\/i><\/b>.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Positive and negative characters<\/b>: Complex characters are usually only indirectly revealed as \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad\u201d through details, actions, <\/div>\n
and characteristics. Explore the narrative indications that suggest certain characters are positive or negative or explore how certain <\/div>\n
characters transition from negative to positive (or vice versa).\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Gender issues<\/b>: Consider the male and\/or female characters, and how they resist or conform to the gender roles that society has <\/div>\n
assigned to them. Explore how gender influences the characters\u2019 available choices or affects the characters\u2019 development.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3. Realism and setting<\/b>: Examine the physical setting (i.e., the city, date\/time, architecture, furniture, and props), and consider its <\/div>\n
significance to the plot or the effect it might have on the characters. Explore the elements of the settings that suggest symbolic meanings or provide insight into certain characters.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. Class issues<\/b>: Membership in a certain social class might affect characters\u2019 choices, or affect the way they view, or are viewed by, <\/div>\n
others. Explore how certain characters feel about the different social classes, and how class issues or economic struggles affect them.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Important<\/b><\/div>\n
The essay is consists of an opening, three paragraphs and a conclusion.<\/b><\/div>\n
An opening may mention the author and book. Begin each body paragraph with a clear topic sentence that introduces the point and <\/b><\/div>\n
links back to the argument.
\n<\/b><\/div>\n
Follow the standard structure of three body paragraphs.
