Category: American literature

Several of the novels we have read this semester have been adapted into other forms – film, TV series, play, musical, graphic novel, etc . Write a comparative review essay which either a) looks at two different adaptations of the same novel or b) looks at adaptations of two different novels. How do the creators approach the task of adapting the novel(s)? Which elements are preserved and which are altered? What do you think, as a critic, about how the adaptations work as adaptations – how do they illuminate interesting or new aspects of the originals, and how do they take the characters and ideas of the novel(s) in their own direction? This can include assessment – what they get right, what they get wrong – but it should focus more on analysis than judgment. You should be sure to cite specific evidence from both book(s) and adaptations to support your claims. 
Note about sources: This essay should compare either two adaptations of one single novel, or 
one adaptation (each) of two different novels. You should also incorporate and cite at least three other sources, which can include other critics’ reviews of the adaptations you are talking about.
Ideas for adaptations (there may be others I have missed!):  
Orlando film directed by Sally Potter, 1996 ( available online through NYU Library); Orlando: My Political Biography film directed by Paul Preciado, 2023 (streaming on Apple+); Orlando play by Sarah Ruhl, 2010, directed by Will Davis at Signature Theater 2024
Kindred graphic novel by Damion Duffy and John Jennings, 2017 (available on Amazon or online through NYU Library); Kindred TV series, developed by Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins, 2022 (streaming on Hulu)
Ragtime film directed by Milos Forman, 1981 (streaming on Apple+); Ragtime musical by Stephen Flaherty, Lynn Ahrens, and Terrence McNally, 1998 (no video recording but you can find the full soundtrack on Apple Music or other platforms, as well various clips,   a low quality bootleg, and many community theater productions on YouTube)

Society and Identity in American Literature from Colonial Times to the Civil War 
American literature has been a method of expression, where people can express the works of society and culture of the period in which it was written in, capturing the identity struggles of its people. From colonial times to the end of the Civil War, authors have used their works to comment on the social structures, political events, and identity formation of the time. This essay will examine the role of society and identity in American literature through three examples: Anne Bradstreet’s poetry, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart.,” and Phillis Wheatley’s Poem “On Being Brought from Africa to America.”  

Submit a unified, coherent, well supported (with  specific textual references) essay of between 900-1500 words (MLA Style) on one of the texts we discussed weeks 11-13.
Compare and contrast Willy Loman in “Death of a salesman” By Miller to Hemingway character “Krebs” in “Soldiers home”

Can They Critically Think? Examining Passing Characters
(Apply The Five Analytical Moves, The Method, information from our Reasoning Packets and suggestions on how to write Introductions and Conclusions from Writing Analytically) to write a paper that will provide an evaluation on the critical thinking ability of one of the characters from Passing, as defined on the Critical Thinking definition handout.
We learned how to Inductively arrive at conclusions—that is to investigate, infer, analyze, and then develop a stance. For this paper, we will practice deductive analysis: starting with a pre-developed premise, then evaluating evidence, and filtering all arguments through the lens of that premise. The essay will still focus on developing detail-specific inferences, however, in support of a claim. 
You will choose one character from Passing and develop an evaluative argument revealing why that character does or does not fit the definition of Critical Thinking provided. 
Introduction: Introduce the text and your chosen character. Develop a claim that indicates that your character does or does not fit the definition (including a reason), according to some pattern of behavior in the text. This is the controlling idea for your paper. Your introduction should be brief.
Body: Support your claim with details from the text and inferences developed from those details. Analyze the language to show how the way the character speaks reveal their critical thinking ability ( or lack thereof). You must, at some point, examine whether a character uses, exposes, and/or avoids specific logical fallacies and discusses how that relates to your claim. While you’re not responsible for all of the character’s actions in the novel, purposefully leaving out crucial components that lead to their character development is not acceptable and will lead to fallacious reasoning (called cherry-picking)- to this end, you will include a counter-argument (a consideration of the possible argument against your claim) at some point. You must have strong, text-based evidence for all of your claims.
Conclusion: Conclude your paper by developing a second claim-indicate how lack or possession of critical thinking is important to argument of the text as a whole beyond the specific character (i.e. the argument of the novel as a whole).
Your paper should be lively and stylistically sophisticated. Include a title that invitingly previews the content of your essay. Additionally, you are expected to display a mastery of basic essay structuring, like paragraphing, transitions, quotation integration, etc .. Papers submitted with multiple sentence-level and/or proofreading errors ( one or more per page) will receive reduced grades.
Avoid the following, as they will bring down your grade: over-quoting, summary, first or second person (I, you, your, we, mine, us, etc.), committing logical fallacies, clichés, speculation, and broad generalizations. Do not stray from your claim: it is the guiding thought for your paper.
Format: MLA-style formatting. Include an MLA-style Works Cited page, citing the novel.
Suggestions on What to Avoid:
• Avoid assumptions and fallacies in your writing; you are being assessed on YOUR critical thinking ability while you are assessing the character’s
• Do not base your argument on your personal beliefs; this is textual analysis.
• Do not over-quote. Limit quotations to 1-2 typed lines (max) at a time to encourage strong inferencing from specific details.
• Do not stop developing detail-specific inferences; your close examination and interaction with your chosen details is important to developing clear analysis. Generalized, topic-based inferences will still lead to lower grades
• No cliche introductions or conclusions
