Description
A Good Man is Hard to Find" (O'Connor, 1953) In some stories, characters come into conflict with the culture in which they live. Often, a character feels alienated in his/her community or society due to race, gender, class or ethnic background. Choose a text that shows this kind of conflict. How is the character alienated from community and how does she/he respond to it? What does that character's alienation say about the surrounding society's assumptions, morality, and values? In what way(s) do literary elements reflect how that society defines race, gender, class and/or ethnicity? How does this create conflict for the character? Must be four double-spaced pages Create a detailed introduction that contains a thesis that offers a debatable claim based on one of the prompts on the list. Apply critical thought by analyzing the primary source you selected from the approved list of Literary Works. Avoid summary and personal reflection. Develop body paragraphs that contain clear topic sentences and examples that support the argument. Write a conclusion that reaffirms the thesis statement and includes a summary of the key ideas in the essay. Apply your knowledge of literary elements and other concepts in your response to the prompt. Reference the list of literary elements found in Week Two of the course and discussion forums.
