    Study Tips 101: Take a time out
    Taking time to plan is one of the most important skills a student can have. Don’t just start the week with the vague goal of studying for a history exam—instead, break up that goal into smaller tasks. Pencil it in on the calendar like a regular class: For example, allot every day from 1 to 3 p.m. to review 50 years’ worth of info.

    Frankenstein Critical Analysis Evaluation Essay

    Note: Please review the source guidelines below very carefully. If you do not choose from the

    provided sources below, this will cause a grading delay and you will need to resubmit the

    assignment.

    For this assignment you will write your evaluation essay. You are required to submit only your final draft for this assignment (though we encourage all students to take advantage of the additional feedback a draft can provide). Use the grader’s feedback and the rubric to make revisions to your draft before submitting the final. Your second draft will be graded.

    Now that you have completed Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, you are in a good position to consider what critics have written about the novel. You will need a total of two critiques (also known as critical analysis essays) for this assignment.

    First, use the selection of links below to locate a critical analysis essay written about the 1818 version of Mary Shelley’s novel. You may focus most of your attention on this first critique.

    Choose from among these sources:

    ü ipl2 Literary Criticism collection: If you use this site, you must choose from the first

    seven critiques listed as the final two are not scholarly:

    ( http://www.ipl.org/div/litcrit/bin/litcrit.out.pl?ti=fra-63

    ü Professor Sherry Ginn’s critique:1 http://www.clas.ufl.edu/ipsa/2003/ginn.html

    ü Professor Naomi Hetherington’s

    critique: http://knarf.english.upenn.edu/Articles/hether.html

    The questions in the study guides should have helped you evaluate this criticism in your head. Now it’s time to write it down!

    Your evaluation may go more smoothly if you approach the guiding questions in this order:

    1. Evaluate the critic/author:

    Who wrote the criticism you read? What credentials does the author have (education, professional career, other publications, etc.)? (If you are using a credible author, you should be able to find her/his credentials fairly easily)

    1. Find the thesis of the article:

    What is the thesis of the critical article you’ve chosen? What point does the author want to make about Frankenstein?

    1. Evaluate the thesis:

    1 Note: You should avoid reading Ginn’s article too simplistically. A common misperception is that Ginn is arguing in favor of this novel being an autobiography, but if you read her article in full, you will find that this isn’t really the case. If you misinterpret your chosen source, it will affect your own arguments, so please read carefully.

    Do you agree with this thesis? Why or why not? We’ve covered many ideas in the study guides. Can you find points within the guides that support your agreement or disagreement with the critical writer(s)? Look for new supporting information rather than revisiting the same ones the critics have chosen.

    1. Evaluate the support:

    Whether you agree or disagree with the thesis, does the critic provide sufficient research from the text and outside references to make a strong case? What does the article have for support from the text or outside sources? In your opinion, what makes these references valid? Do you feel the author uses this support properly?

    Next, locate a second critique about the novel, and discuss how this second critique agrees and/or disagrees with the first one. For instance, if the first critic argues that Shelley’s writing is juvenile, does the second critic agree with this assessment? If the first critic believes the novel is autobiographical, does the second critic concur? These are just a few examples of how you can include this second critique in order to have a polished, comprehensive

    Evaluation Essay of your own.

    In addition to addressing each of the evaluative components above, develop your essay so it has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. You must include an evaluative thesis statement both the introduction and the conclusion. Ensure that each of your claims are supported with valid evidence from the literary criticism you have chosen, the novel, Frankenstein, and/or the study guides.

    Using proper MLA2 style, insert parenthetical citations for all borrowed information in addition to a Works Cited page for Frankenstein and your chosen literary critiques; you are not required to cite the study guides if you use them.

    Hint: For a thesis statement, try answering a question like: How and how well does this piece of criticism state and support its argument regarding Frankenstein?

    You might use these as possible guidelines in crafting your thesis statement: (Critic, aka author of the critique) uses (add critic title) to (add an adjective to describe the effectiveness of the argument such as “adequately” or “inadequately”) argue that (add critic’s thesis) by (explain why and/or include your support).

    OR

    (Critic)’s (add critique title) (add an adjective to describe the effectiveness of the argument such as “adequately” or “inadequately”) argue that (add critic’s thesis) because (explain why and/or include your support).

    More specific thesis examples:

    2 Tip: Review the course topics for MLA resources. Failure to use MLA style will mean a point deduction.

    John Smith uses “Frankenstein Critique Essay” to adequately argue that Victor’s mother created the first monster by coddling Victor as a boy.

    OR

    John Smith’s “Frankenstein Critique Essay” does not effectively argue that Victor’s mother created the first monster because the novel Frankenstein too strongly supports inherent good or bad, which means nurturing roles cannot be held responsible.

    The guidelines for this assignment are as follows:

    Length: This assignment should be at least 750 words.

    Header: Include a header in the upper left-hand corner of your writing assignment with the

    following information:

    • Your first and last name
    • Course Title (Composition II)
    • Assignment name (Evaluation Essay)
    • Current Date

    Format:

    • MLA-style source documentation and Works Cited3
    • Your last name and page number in the upper-right corner of each page
    • Double-spacing throughout
    • Standard font (TimesNewRoman, Calibri)
    • Title, centered after heading
    • 1” margins on all sides
    • Save the file using one of the following extensions: .docx, .doc, .rtf, or .txt

    Underline your thesis statement in the introductory paragraph.

    Reminder: You need at least two critiques in addition to the novel in Works Cited in order to receive the highest score. In other words, you need three sources total in cited in the essay and on the Works Cited page in order to earn the maximum points in the corresponding column on the grading rubric. Failure to meet the source minimum will result in a severe decrease in your

    grade.

  • Nick Flynn’s Writing Style and My Imitation

    $35.00

    Imitation and Analysis

    1. Imitation (3-4 pages)

    For this assignment, you will be narrating your own childhood memory imitating the style of Nick Flynn’s prose. You must imitate at least three stylistically different sections from the book.

    Though the content will be your own, you should use your examples to inform decisions about subject, grammar, and style. You will want to look very closely at specific sections in order to replicate their effects. You might want to exaggerate certain elements of style in order to illustrate the choices Flynn makes.

    You should pay close attention to all elements of the writer’s style, including purpose, form, subject, syntax, punctuation, sentence structures, rhythm, diction, tone, description, specificity, connotation, and so on.

    Your imitation should include a specific event that is described in the first person. It should also reflect your personal interpretation of the book by Flynn. Whatever elements stand out as to you as being unique to him would be a good thing to try to imitate. It’s your decision how closely you want to imitate Flynn: you could take a few specific sentences and change a few elements to reflect your experience and sensibilities, or you could write a completely original story in the general style of the writer using elements that he seems to use often. You should imitate whatever stands out to you as being interesting. Consider elements of content (such as subject and mood) as well as elements of form (such as grammatical structures and word choice).

    1. Analysis (2-4 pages)

    Using unified, coherent, well-developed paragraphs and grammatical and effective sentences, write an analysis discussing both the original and your imitations of them. Quote the passages you are discussing (don’t be afraid to quote yourself). Include highly specific references to particular elements (such as those listed above) that you noticed in the original and tried to convey in your imitation.

    Address all the following considerations

    • What stylistic choices did Flynn make? Were these effective? How?
    • Do you feel Flynn’s style is compatible with the stories he tells?
    • What is the relationship between the style of the memoir and its content?
    • Did writing in different styles cause you to make choices you might not have made otherwise? Explain.
    • What did it feel like to write in this way?
    • Do you feel you were successful in your imitation? To what extent?
    • How did writing in this style influence the content of what you wrote?
    • Could you have done a better job if you were free to use your own, or a different, style?
    • What did you learn about your own writing from this assignment?

  • Doctorow’s For the Win

    $20.00

    To be a Genre: Doctorow’s For the Win

    Purpose
    To apply your awareness and understanding of a given text’s relationship to the conventions of its genre and to use that insight to produce an analysis of the rhetorical work the text is doing through genre.

    Assignment
    Identify the genre, genre features, and genre conventions applicable to Doctorow’s For the Win. (Pro Tip: Revisit the chapter on genre in AGWR, the readings on what YA is and does that we recently engaged with, and previous discussion posts to help you get started.) Then write an argument in which you explain the relationship of this text to its genre, and what implications can be drawn from that relationship and the rhetorical work Doctorow undertakes with this novel.
    Successfully engaging with genre analysis work like this will often require explaining how a rhetor acknowledges, uses, manipulates, and responds to genre conventions in the given text, and for what implied purpose and/or message.
    For example, consider whether the text follows genre conventions or if it only appears to follow genre expectations while in reality challenging them. If this is the case, what might the rhetor be implicitly trying to say or accomplish through the text? Consider what YA literature as a genre might aim to do and how it might aim to accomplish those goals; in what ways do we see FTW taking on those goals/strategies or not?
    While secondary sources beyond the text you are analyzing may not be required, you are still responsible for supporting your argument through careful selection and thorough analysis of textual evidence (specific excerpts from the text you are analyzing).

    Requirements
    A successful argument of this sort will often require 3-4 pages of recorded brain work, typed and double-spaced, and presented in MLA format.

  • The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down

    $15.00

    The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down please pick 1 question from Group 1 and one question from Group 2 to answer. Provide at least 1 page each answers. Be sure to cite the book and course materials.

    Group 1

    1. The only American who fully won the Lees’ trust was Jeanine Hilt, their social worker. Why did Jeanine succeed where so many others had failed?

    2. Neil Ernst says, “I felt it was important for these Hmongs to understand that there were certain elements of medicine that we understood better than they did and that there were certain rules they had to follow with their kids’ lives.” Why didn’t this message get through to the Lees? If you were Neil, would you feel this way too? Is this an ethnocentric attitude? Why or why not?

    3. In Chapter Eight, after describing Foua’s competence as a mother and farmer in Laos, Fadiman quotes her as saying, “I miss having something that really belongs to me.” What has Foua lost? Is there anything that still “really belongs” to her? Are there other groups we have discussed that have experience similar loss?

    4. In her preface, the author says that while she was working on this book, she often asked herself two questions: “What is a good doctor?” “What is a good parent?” How do you think she might have answered her own questions? How would you answer them? How is each identity constructed by each group. Which social construction is taken more seriously in the United States? Why?

    5. What was the “role loss” many adult Hmong faced when they came to the United States? What is the underlying root cause? How does this loss affect their adjustment to America?

    Group 2

    1. How do you think the issues raised by this book should affect your education at Purdue and/or your life as a citizen today?

    2. What relevance does this book have to your potential career (i.e., medicine, health, law, social work, politics, religion, communications, education, linguistics)? In the context of your future career, how do you think you would handle similar situations, if faced with them?

    Course Description

Students should be able to understand the contemporary social and political discussions that shape our conceptions of race and ethnicity as well as how they affect the life experiences of specific groups. More specifically, students should be able to comment intellectually on questions such as: How are racial and ethnic identities constructed? How does race and ethnicity intersect with gender, class, sexuality, age, disability and other dimensions of identity? How are race and ethnicity shaped by family, education, the media, politics, religion and medical practice?
