  1. How does <\/span>The Book of Delights<\/em>, and Gay’s purpose, style, and themes, align with the social media trend of “romancing your life”? Use as least one *secondary source* in your analysis.<\/li>\n
  2. You can organize your 3-4 body paragraphs around the themes OR the essayettes themselves, just make sure your analysis includes at least 4 quotes using correct MLA citing, detailed analysis following the quote that connects back to the main idea of the paragraph, and the message of the thesis, clear paragraph-focus with a direct topic sentence, and thoughtful paragraph to paragraph flow. A minimum of 3 Quote Sandwiches is required.<\/li>\n

    1. Connects back to the hook presented at the beginning of the essay in a new way as an overall framing device. Briefly highlights the key message of the book and the thesis. And ultimately leads to a more comprehensive forward-looking idea about the book\u2026particularly how the book was meaningful to your seeing of delight in the world at a moment in time. One critic says: \u201cThere is no other book on the planet I\u2019d rather read right now, no other writing that can make me believe in the future\u2014and us\u2014again\u201d (Lidia Yuknavitch). What are your delights and what meaning do they have to you on your journey at this moment\u2014where you\u2019ve been, where you are, where you\u2019re going, and how is Ross Gay\u2019s book part of that?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Writing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Use subordinating conjunctions, coordinating conjunctions, semi-colons, and noun phrase appositive sentences.<\/li>\n
      2. Use new vocabulary.<\/li>\n
      3. Use grammar-style devices like dashes, colons, and parentheses for noun appositives. Mixes long and short sentences like Joan Didion.<\/li>\n
      4. Consider verb choice. Work to voice passive voice; be consistent with tense, and try using verbs other than \u201cto be\u201d<\/li>\n
      5. Use your own voice with storytelling, description, and metaphors.<\/li>\n
      6. Use academic codes of organization, quoting, and clarity.<\/li>\n
      7. Revise for typos!<\/li>\n
      8. Revise for more specificity, directness, and clarity with your ideas and sentences (particularly the first sentence in each paragraph).<\/li>\n
      9. Revise for continuity between each sentence, between each paragraph, and between the beginning and end of the essay paragraphs.<\/li>\n
      10. MLA format<\/li>\n
      11. Approximately 750 words (3 pages double-spaced)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
