This paper must focus on a specific relationship. The directions are below but they are also on the syllabus if you’d like to look there.
Paper should be 6 pages. 
You have two choices:
Choose a significant relationship in your life, such as your relationship with your spouse/boyfriend, girlfriend, your relationship with your parent/guardian/sibling, or your relationship with a longtime friend.
If you don’t want to write about yourself, choose a couple (romantic or friendship) you know that has been together several years, such as your grandmother and grandfather, your best friend and her husband, etc. Interview the members of the couple separately. You will listen to their stories of their relationship and analyze it.
In either case, feel free to change the names of the people you are writing about to protect their privacy.

Essay 3—English 1A     Dr. Leiby  Spring 2024
For Essay 3, you will write a paper that is at least 3-4 typed pages, double-spaced, in 12 pt. Times New Roman font (a minimum of 1,000 words) on ONE of the following writing prompts:
1    Analyze the imagery and figurative language (such as description, symbolism, metaphors, similes, personification, etc.) in N. Scott Momaday’s The Way to Rainy Mountain, examining how the imagery and figurative language are used to express the values and beliefs of the Kiowa tribe as they relate to one central theme.
2    Analyze the imagery and figurative language (such as description, symbolism, metaphors, similes, personification, etc.) in Susan Glaspell’s play “Trifles,” examining how the imagery and figurative language are used to make a point or argument about a theme.
3    Analyze the imagery and figurative language (such as description, symbolism, metaphors, similes, personification, etc.) in both Maya Angelou’s poem “Caged Bird” and the chapter “Graduation” from her autobiographical novel I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, examining how the imagery and figurative language are used to make a point or argument about a common theme.
4    Analyze the similar imagery and figurative language (description, symbolism, metaphors, similes, personification, etc., such as the bird, the cage, singing, and so forth) in both Maya Angelou’s poem “Caged Bird” and Susan Glaspell’s play “Trifles,” examining how the similar imagery and figurative language are used to make a point or argument about a common theme.
5    Extra Credit Option: Analyze the imagery and figurative language (such as description, symbolism, metaphors, similes, personification, etc.) in both Maya Angelou’s poem “Caged Bird” and her autobiographical novel I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (including discussion of several chapters, not just “Graduation,” as well as the book’s dedication to her son), examining how the imagery and figurative language are used to make a point or argument about a common theme.
Thesis
Your essay should utilize your analysis of the literary text or texts to demonstrate a point that the literary text or texts are making about a theme, such as nature, gender roles, oppression, freedom, self-esteem, solidarity, voice/expression, and so forth. For example, your thesis might be
•    that the imagery and figurative language in N. Scott Momaday’s The Way to Rainy Mountain express the Kiowa tribe’s appreciation and respect for nature;
•    or that Susan Glaspell’s play uses imagery and figurative language to demonstrate the negative consequences sexist oppression had on women in the early twentieth century;
•    or that the “Graduation” chapter from Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and her poem “Caged Bird” utilize imagery and figurative language to show the importance of resisting external and internalized oppression;
•    or that through their usage of similar imagery and figurative language, Angelou’s poem and Glaspell’s play reveal the damaging effect a lack of freedom has on people’s self-esteem.
Remember, in your essay you must make a clear point about a theme as you provide specific examples and explanations/interpretations of the literary works’ use of imagery and figurative language, so that your essay is unified and does more than merely list examples.
Content and Structure
•    Begin the essay with an introductory paragraph that provides a brief overviewof the author(s) and literary text(s) and theme, and concludes with the thesis statement. For the body paragraphs of the essay, you should not only quote and paraphrase, but set up your examples as well as explain them (use the “sandwich method”). Each body paragraph should begin with a solid topic sentence linked to your thesis, meaning each topic sentence should discuss imagery and/or figurative language and the point made about the theme. End the essay with a conclusion paragraph that reemphasizes the thesis statement and discusses the significance of the pointmade about the theme.
•    DO NOT begin paragraphs with paraphrases, summaries, or quotations from the text(s). Instead, start with a topic sentence on how figurative language and imagery are used to make a point about the theme, and then provide support for it with sandwiched quotations and paraphrases. Also, DO NOT end paragraphs with quoted material; end with your own words.
•    Remember that brackets and ellipses can be employed to make quoted material flowwith your prose and that you can use a combination of quotation and paraphrase, even in the same sentence.
•    You should use at least several examplesof imagery and figurative language in each body paragraph, and be sure to explain to your readers how the imagery and figurative language are used to make the point about the theme you identify in your thesis. Don’t forget to utilize transitional words and phrases to link examples, and make sure that the paragraphs are unified.
Organization, Audience, and Style
•    Your essay should be logically organized and include appropriate transitions between paragraphs. 
•    Your audience for this essay is a supportive one made up of your peers who have read the works of literature, but not necessarily from your perspective. Therefore, you will not need to include more than very brief summaries of the literary texts; you will be including mostly interpretation and analysis, not summary.
•    Use a formal academic style (nocontractions or use of first or second person point of view). (Review the Week 3 Lecture: The College Essay (https://elcamino.instructure.com/courses/39966/pages/week-3-lecture-the-college-essay) under Academic Style.) 
Format
•    You should use MLA format for the assignment, including correct margins, a heading, and a header. (Review the Week 1 Lecture: MLA Format (https://elcamino.instructure.com/courses/39966/pages/week-1-lecture-mla-format) and the Week 2 Lecture: Citing Your Sources (https://elcamino.instructure.com/courses/39966/pages/week-2-lecture-citing-your-sources)
.) For in-text parenthetical citations,
include 
page numbers in parentheses
(or chapter or section numbers if there are no page numbers) for quotes or paraphrases from

How does fear influence communities and/or
decisions made by communities?
·        
How does fear prohibit progress within a
community or individual?

How can we overcome fear and encourage healing
and unity in communities?
(Use literature from
class, movies, news, political rhetoric, etc. to address the questions above).
You are also required to complete an annotated bibliography (below):
Length:  10 entries
An annotated
bibliography is a way for researchers to evaluate source material, and
when done properly it can be a useful tool in the construction of a research
assignment.  It includes a very brief summary of the source, and then goes
on to include notes on the text that could be useful either to yourself (while
writing your paper), or to someone else who might potentially use the same
source.
Your annotated
bibliography must have a minimum of 10 sources. You do not
have to use all sources in your presentation. That said, all source material
found in your presentation must come from your annotated
bibliography. Any source material found in your presentation that is not in
your bibliography will cost you 10 points per source.
Your annotations should
be concise and include the following:
Brief paragraph (150-300
words) in which you concisely evaluate the article, summarize central
theme or idea, assess the authority or background of the
author, remark on intended audience, compare/contrast the
work with another article(s) you have cited, and explain how
it illuminates your topic.
Each column of the rubric
corresponds to one annotated source. The bibliographic entry, while required,
is not included in grading. You will lose points for an absent or incorrect
citation, but you will not gain points for that portion of your annotation.
Each category is worth 1 point, and will be marked based on the following
scale:
1 = exceeds expectations – Annotation categories earning a score of 1 are
exceptionally well done, thoughtful, contain no errors of fact or usage, and
are especially full or apt.
.8 = meets expectations – Annotation categories earning a score of .8 are
satisfactory, but may contain errors of fact or grammar, and may not represent
a full answer.
.65 = below expectation – Annotation categories earning a score of a .65 may be
implicitly discussed, or severely deficient in explanation.
0 = not present – Annotation categories earning a score of a 0 are absent from
the annotation.
** Points will be deducted for grammatical and spelling errors.
