I think this would be really interesting because I always love to see how different elements of a story connect and influence one another. In the past, I've had to read a lot of novels for different English classes and we would always look at this specific idea of how the relationship between different elements of the story. I hope to learn about how a specific setting or plot could really influence different characters in the way the develop.
Topic 1: Compare and contrast elements of two different texts.
This topic seems interesting because I think it would be a lot of fun to compare a couple texts' different plots. I think it would be neat to see their similarities and differences, and if they possibly line up or are completely different. In high school, I had AP English and we would do a lot of comparing and contrasting to a few different texts or excerpts. I really hope to learn how to distinguish the differences in a few different stories' plot without having to really dive deep into both of their plots, so I feel like this topic would really help with that.
Topic 4: Choose a reading selection. Then choose one of the following questions, and write an argument in response to it:
- How does the work reflect the period in which it was written?
- What does the work reveal about the cultural behavior contemporary to it?
- How are class differences presented in the work? Are characters aware or unaware of the economic and social forces that affect their lives?
Happy Thursday Austin!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you choose your three top topics, and wrote about why you think they are each something you would want to write about. Do you have text in mind for each topic? I found it very helpful to select the text I would use for the topics. I was able to determine if I had enough context in the text to write and analysis I choose topic 4 for my first project, I thought it would be easy to answer the questions from the text and analysis but it was challenging in the end. I had to research the period of time and the history that related to the text. But if you are able to use your novel then you would have plenty of information to analysis. Good luck with your project. I will come back and read it once you have selected your topic. Have a great day.
Hi Austin. Have you decided which topic you will choose? Also, have you thought of which text to use if you choose the topic to compare and contrast elements of two different text? I suggest you keep that in mind to narrow down your selection. Comparing and contrast can be hard because for me it seems like I have to do twice the work digging in each story to look for similarities and differences and then the writing can get lengthy. Good luck Austin!
