How would the concepts of reading aloud and together as explained by Gurdon apply to “The School is Alive” and “The Locker Ate Lucy”?
Why does Chabert use the tropes of the school being alive and the locker eating as the villains in these stories?
Who is the “mentor” and how does he teach Sam Graves to transform himself into a hero?
Who are Sam’s allies and part of his “fellowship?” How do they use their individual strengths to overcome “the school?”

Some of the characters from the readings are alienated by those around them
or are perceived as “others.” How does the alienation of the characters
contribute to the theme? Does the reading make a powerful and effective case
on behalf of the oppressed, or does it support this ostracization? What does the
reading say about “difference”?Some of the characters from the readings are alienated by those around them

After you finish reading, listening to, or watching the material, think about what interests you. What did you learn? What did you find intriguing? Was there something that bothered you or surprised you? Something you disagree with? Why? What perspectives might have been missing, or what perspectives were represented that you hadn’t thought of before? These are just a few questions to get you thinking. You dont need to answer all the question you can answer only 2-3 and use only and only this source

Choose from the list of contemporary poets. Write an analysis of how the poet’s choice of words (diction) influences the reader’s sense of the speaking voice and tone of the poem. Who is imagined to be speaking the poem? Who or what is being spoken to or addressed? What is the attitude of the speaker towards what and to whom he or she is speaking as registered in his or her choice of words? Keep in mind that the speaker of a poem is not necessarily the poet’s own persona even if the poem makes first-person references through the pronouns, I, me, my, mine. The poet could be creating a character or fictive identity who may or may not sound authentic or plausible.
Also, there’s no need to give me a biography of the poet’s life or to paraphrase line by line the entire poem. First introduce our focus for this paper and then in the middle portion of your essay, offer a quick summary of the poem and then pick and discuss a couple of specific examples from each poem to show how a specific choice of words influences or communicates with readers.
Be sure to write a formal essay (title, subtitle, introduction, middle paragraphs, and a conclusion). Document in MLA-style any use you make in your essay of the poem and information you found by way of research. Recall the MLA style requires parenthetical notes inside your writing to show which source listed in your works-cited you are using where in your essay. By all means, critically consult wikipedias etc as preparation for writing and informing yourself about a poet. If you use information and/or phrasing from a consulted source, document properly in MLA style or you will lose significant points.Write an analysis of how the poet’s choice of words (diction) influences the reader’s sense of the speaking voice and tone of the poem.

Requirements
A rough thesis for your essay
(NOTE: this is an unusual request; most annotated bibliographies do not have this. However, putting this here will help you organize your essay, it will help clarify how the outside sources connect to your analysis, and it will help your instructor know if you are on the right track!
At least four outside sources (not counting the story/stories).
See the essay prompt to know the number and types of sources required for your specific topic.
In some cases, one or more of your required sources may be a reading that was already assigned.
Annotations for each entry
These should include a the main ideas and key points of the source, a brief explanation of why it is is a credible source, and a discussion of how this source relates to the argument you will be making about the reading.
Each annotation should be approximately 150-200 words.
Please be sure you submit it in a readable format (like .docx or .pdf). Be aware that .pages is NOT a readable format.
YOU WILL BE HIRED AGAIN WHEN NEEDED FOR THE FULL ESSAY! THIS IS A ROUGH publish WITH THE WORKING THESIS!
Near the end of “The Birth-Mark”, the narrator states: “Yet, had Alymer reached a profounder wisdom, he need not thus have flung away the happiness, which would have woven his mortal life of the self-same texture with the celestial.” He then concludes that “he failed…to find the perfect future in the present.”
I need a double-spaced, one-page paper analyzing how Nathaniel Hawthorne explores the idea of perfection and imperfection in “The Birth-Mark”. (I’m including a copy of the short story.)
Support the narrative with 4 direct quotations from the text.
Be sure to write in 3rd person (do not use “I” or “You”)
Use present-tense verbs such as: states, writes, observes, etc.
Creative writing in response to literature is a way for students to respond to literature in a personal way. Creative writing provides a way for students to practice critical thinking and develop a stronger understanding of literary criticism while showing creativity and a bit of their own personalities. For this creative writing assignment, you will do a character analysis to allow you to get inside the mind of one of the characters.
“Woman Hollering Creek” is told as a third-person narrative, not as a first-person narrative. The difference is that a third-person narrative presents the characters to us in the words of a narrator rather than from the words of the characters themselves. The story contains descriptions such as “Cleofilas did this” or “Cleofilas said that,” but it’s not as if Cleofilas herself is telling everything from their perspective. Of course, sometimes she speaks in the story, but she does not get to tell the story or what she thinking or feeling. It is up to the reader to determine what she might be thinking or feeling.
For this assignment, imagine you are Cleofilas writing a journal entry the events described in the story. Try to get into the mind of Cleofilas. Be imaginative and creative. Pretend you are Cleofilas and have successfully left your marriage with Felice’s help. You will not be retelling the plot of the story; you will be Cleofilas reflecting on what has happened. In this journal entry you can put down whatever thoughts she might have using absolute frankness and honesty.
Criteria:
Write a minimum 400 words in paragraph form, using Times New Roman 12-point font (or similar) with double spacing. A title page is not required.

There is a no-research policy in place for this class. Using any material other than the assigned readings and lectures, even if it is correctly quoted and cited, will result in a failing grade for this assignment.
