Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average surface temperature observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900). It results primarily from human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, which release heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

We have read a number of short stories so far—and will read two more before Monday. Choose
exactly two of them (no more, no less), then compare and contrast them in terms of one (just
one!) narrative element we’ve addressed so far (or will address soon): plot, perspective, closure,
etc.
– Your comparing and contrasting should rely extensively on the analysis of evidence. In other
words, if you have a paragraph discussing closure in “Standard Loneliness Package,” much of
that paragraph will be made up of your interpretation of relevant citations from the text.
– Much of your essay will be taken up with this comparing and contrasting. But the entire essay
should be framed by a larger claim (aka—a thesis). This central claim should, more or less, take
the form of your answer to this question: What is the significance of the different ways these two
narratives approach the element you selected? As such, your comparing and contrasting should
ultimately be in service of proving this claim.
– Your claim will likely force you to discuss not just the “how” of each short story (closure,
perspective, etc.), but the “what” of each one as well (love, parenting, loss, etc.). For instance if
you argue that one short story provides closure, but the other does not, well, that’s a “how”
claim. In order to make a case for the significance of this, you’ll probably have to talk about
“what” the narratives are about as well (themes, issues, etc.).
– Don’t start by trying to formulate the final version of your main claim, though a rougher form
of it may be possible early on. What will likely be more productive is something like this: 1)
Write up some general ideas or hunches you have, based on your initial response to the stories,
our discussion about them, etc.; 2) Analyze the evidence you suspect you’ll use in the essay; 3)
Look over your analysis and see what big claim you can make about it. Some back and forth
between your general claim and close analysis will likely be necessary. This back and forth is a
central feature of (and reason for) The Process™, which is just about inescapable in a paper like
this.
I strongly recommend you going through The Process™ for writing this paper. Though
everyone’s process is different, yours might look something like: 1) Choose the stories you
want to spend more time with; 2) Reread them (or at least parts of them), mark them up, and
take notes; 3) Select the narrative element you want to focus on; 4) Make a list of all relevant
evidence; 5) Free write or brainstorm; 6) Start writing up some close readings (i.e. extended
analysis of evidence); 7) Formulate a tentative central claim; 8) Think about the structure of
your paper (and perhaps make an outline); 9) Write a first draft; 10) Give yourself a treat; 11)
Print out the first draft and read it as if you’ve never seen it before; 12) Come up with a plan
for making draft #2 better than draft #1; 13) Revise; 14) Line edit; 15) Repeat step #10.
 In order to go through The Process™ effectively, you’ll want to spread out your work on this
essay into a few sessions over the course of a couple of days.
 You don’t need to be an expert on the narrative element you’re writing about, but you should
feel pretty comfortable with it. If you need help clarifying the concept you’ve chosen, feel
free to email me. But you must do so by Friday at 6PM.
 Once you’ve chosen your short stories and your narrative element, don’t second guess
yourself! You may get stuck, that’s normal. It doesn’t mean that if you chose different
stories or a different element that the whole essay would be a breeze.
 900 words is not much. Keep your introduction very brief. Get into the details of your short
stories quickly and stay close to the texts throughout. Your conclusion can be longer, but
only if it is used to develop your main claim.
 I am fully aware that this class only started four days ago, and that this paper is due in just
another four days. I am not expecting masterpieces. But I do expect you to put in some time
and effort here. I also expect you to produce an essay that is somewhat polished.

Assignment 7: Cultural Comparison
Instructions
Overview
Deadline: Sunday at 11:59 p.m. PST
Length Requirement: 500 words (minimum) to 1000 words (maximum)
Points: 8
Submission Instructions
This assignment may be submitted as a Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, or PDF file.
You will post your work in two locations:
First, post your work on Assignment 7: Cultural Comparison. This allows for instructor feedback and protection of your work. This Cultural Comparison should be 500 words (minimum) to 1000 words (maximum) in length.
Second, post the same Assignment on Discussion 5: Cultural Comparison and add two responses. 
Purpose
In this assignment, you will apply the skills of comparative analysis you practiced in the Comparison of Artworks assignment in Module 2, but now applied specifically to cultural observations you can imply from the artwork. Practicing this type of cultural analysis will also prepare you to do the same in the Art Curator Project.
Course Learning Outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4
Preparation
Review Chapter 15: Christianity and the Formation of Europe.
Read Chapter 16: The Renaissance.

Select two artworks (from the textbook, Google Arts & Culture, museum websites, etc.), one from the Medieval Era and one from the Renaissance. Include a link and label correctly (refer to examples in the textbook). Please see Purdue OWL for formatting guidance and how to cite correctly.
Begin with a simple thesis statement.
Include the following elements in your Cultural Comparison:
Identify the two artworks you will be comparing, including artists’ names if available, names or titles of the works, country and sub-region of origins, dates, sizes and the media used.
State which format you are using for your comparison: “Block by Block” or “Point by Point.”
Describe each of the works as you did in your formal analysis of art, using at least 5 terms of design (line, perspective, composition, etc.) from the Art Vocabulary List and/or terms used in “How To Look at Art” and/or in Chapters 4 and 5.
Discuss relevant social, political, cultural, religious, and historical factors that may have influenced the production of the art you have chosen. Include developments in humanism and changes in economic wealth.
Explain why you chose these two particular artworks. Consider how they support your thesis statement.
Explain what primarily distinguishes Renaissance art and culture in general from the prior Medieval period.
Describe and explain the various connections between, similarities and/or differences you find in the cultures of these two artworks. Discuss ways in which cultural differences or connections impacted these artworks.
Articulate an informed conclusion from what you observe or interpret about the cultures and artworks, based on comparing and contrasting them, to support your thesis statement.

Do not only discuss how the painting is Mannerist in style, but also to explain how the Mannerist period came about. In many ways, Mannerism is a reaction against the classical, intellectual style of the artists of the High Renaissance. At the end of the 15th century, the Catholic church was being accused of corruption by the followers of Martin Luther who would develop an alternative Christianity called Protestantism. The Catholic church countered the criticism of the Protestant Reformation by launching the Counter Reformation. They hired artists to paint images that focused on the spiritual and mystical aspects of Christian subject matter. These artists made their figures look less like Greek gods, by distorting and elongating them. They wanted the viewer to be moved emotionally by the colors and mystical symbolism. This is what El Greco was very good at. Take a look at this video.

Remember to add a bibliography page at the end of your finished paper listing the sources for the information you used in your paper. Also, include footnotes within the body of your paper to show where you are presenting information from each of your sources listed on your bibliography page.
