  • Title: Exploring the Complexities of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

    Short Essay Questions: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
    These are short essay questions. Although these would not be as long as a traditional essay, each one should be thoughtful and well developed. 200 words for each question and You should include textual evidence alon§ with parenthetical citations.
    Gawain is an important character in most Arthurian legends and, in fact, there are more tales written about Gawain than Lancelot. In other romantic verse, Gawain is characterized as the “golden boy” whose purity helps to find the grail. In this poem, however, Gawain’s character is more complicated. Look back through the text and trace the physical and psychological changes Gawain goes through. Be sure to note situations when he disregards his own high standards and how his failure is resolved.
    One of the most important characteristics of knighthood is “service to a lady.” Analyze the characterization of women in the poem. Discuss to what extent the women are worthy of respect. Based on your analysis of the women characters, what can you theorize about the poet’s view of women?
    3. What role does color play in the poem? What is the symbolic significance of the color green?
    Consult the Color Matters website with its extensive collection of color theory to test your answers: http://www.colormatters.com/
    4. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a romantic poem of the chivalric era. Romances are generally stories of the adventures of knights which describe the behavior of the courtly society, such as the loyalty between a king and his subjects and the relationship of the knight to the Lady. Consider how the concept of the romance has changed from this original idea to the modern day romance novel. What elements of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight continue in romance novels of today? Why do these elements persist? What has been dropped off? Why?
    5. After reading, survey the poem and identify the elements in the story that relate to Christianity and those that relate to myth or magic. How does the inclusion of these disparate elements affect the main con- flict and the resolution in the poem?

  • “Exploring the Elements of Fiction: Characterization, Irony, Plot, Point of View, and Setting” Analyzing Style, Symbolism, Theme, and Tone in Zora Neale Hurston’s “Sweat” By looking at the snake symbolically in “Sweat”: The manifestation of Sykes’ evil.

    Characterization is a means by which writers present and reveal characters – by direct
    description, by showing the character in action, or by the presentation of other characters who
    help to define each other.
    Characters in fiction can be conveniently classified as major and minor, static and dynamic. A
    major character is an important figure at the center of the story’s action or theme. The major
    character is sometimes called a protagonist whose conflict with an antagonist may spark the
    story’s conflict. Supporting the major character are one or more secondary or minor characters
    whose function is partly to illuminate the major characters. Minor characters are often static or
    unchanging: they remain the same from the beginning of a work to the end. Dynamic
    characters, on the other hand, exhibit some kind of change – of attitude, purpose, behavior, as the
    story progresses.
    Irony is not so much an element of fiction as a pervasive quality in it. It may appear in fiction in
    three ways: in a work’s language, in its incidents, or in its point of view. But in whatever form
    it emerges, irony always involves a contrast or discrepancy between one thing and another. The
    contrast may be between what is said and what is meant (verbal irony), what is expected to
    happen and what actually happens (situational irony) or between what a character believes or
    says and what the reader understands to be true (dramatic irony).
    Plot, the action element in fiction, is the arrangement of events that make up a story. Many
    fictional plots turn on a conflict, or struggle between opposing forces, that is usually resolved by
    the end of the story. Typical fictional plots begin with an exposition, that provides background
    information needed to make sense of the action, describes the setting, and introduces the major
    characters; these plots develop a series of complications or intensifications of the conflict that
    lead to a crisis or moment of great tension. The conflict may reach a climax or turning point, a
    moment of greatest tension that fixes the outcome; then, the action falls off as the plot’s
    complications are sorted out and resolved (the resolution or dénouement). Be aware, however,
    that much of twentieth-century fiction does not exhibit such strict formality of design.
    Point of view refers to who tells the story and how it is told. The possible ways of telling a story
    are many, and more than one point of view can be worked into a single story. However, the
    various points of view that storytellers draw upon can be grouped into two broad categories:
    Third-Person Narrator (uses pronouns he, she, or they):
    1. Omniscient: The narrator is all-knowing and takes the reader inside the characters’
    thoughts, feelings, and motives, as well as shows what the characters say and do.
    2. Limited omniscient: The narrator takes the reader inside one (or at most very few
    characters) but neither the reader nor the character(s) has access to the inner lives of
    any of the other characters in the story.
    3. Objective: The narrator does not see into the mind of any character; rather he or she
    reports the action and dialogue without telling the reader directly what the characters
    feel and think.
    First-Person Narrator (uses pronoun I):
    The narrator presents the point of view of only one character’s consciousness, which
    limits the narrative to what the first-person narrator knows, experiences, infers, or can
    find out by talking to other characters.
    Setting is the physical and social context in which the action of a story occurs. The major
    elements of setting are the time, the place, and the social environment that frames the characters.
    These elements establish the world in which the characters act. Sometimes the setting is lightly
    sketched, presented only because the story has to take place somewhere and at some time.
    Often, however, the setting is more important, giving the reader the feel of the people who move
    through it. Setting can be used to evoke a mood or atmosphere that will prepare the reader for
    what is to come.
    Style is the way a writer chooses words (diction), arranges them in sentences and longer units of
    discourse (syntax) and exploits their significance. Style is the verbal identity of a writer, as
    unmistakable as his or her face or voice. Reflecting their individuality, writers’ styles convey
    their unique ways of seeing the world.
    A symbol is a person, object, image, word, ore vent that evokes a range of additional meanings
    beyond and usually more abstract than its literal significance. Symbols are devices for evoking
    complex ideas without having to resort to painstaking explanations. Conventional symbols have
    meanings that are widely recognized by a society or culture, i.e., the Christian cross, the Star of
    David, a swastika, a nation’s flag. A literary or contextual symbol can be a setting, a character,
    action, object, name, or anything else in a specific work that maintains its literal significance
    while suggesting other meanings. For example, the white whale in Melville’s Moby Dick takes
    on multiple symbolic meanings in the work, but these meanings do not automatically carry over
    into other stories about whales.
    Theme is the central idea or meaning of a story. Theme in fiction is rarely presented at all; it is
    abstracted from the details of character and action that compose the story. It provides a unifying
    point around which the plot, characters, setting, point of view, symbols, and other elements of a
    story are organized. Be careful to distinguish theme from plot – the story’s sequence of actions –
    and from subject – what the story is generally about.
    Tone is the author’s implicit attitude toward the reader, subject, and/or the people, places, and
    events in a work as revealed by the elements of the author’s style. Tone may be characterized as
    serious or ironic, sad or happy, private of public, angry or affectionate, bitter or nostalgic, or any
    other attitudes and feelings that human beings experience.
    Writing Requirements:
    All work must be typed/word-processed and double-spaced, with a font size of
    12; margins should be of normal size. The student’s name, the date, the title
    of the assignment, and my name must be at the top of the page.
    Academic Integrity:
    Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of anybody else’s material (words or
    ideas). Any paper with your name on it signifies that you are the author—that
    the wording and the ideas are yours, except where indicated by quotation marks
    and appropriate citations. Plagiarism is subject to the highest penalties,
    including failing the course..
    Introduction Paragraph:
    1.   
    Introduce
    the story/poem/play you’re writing about.
    Ex. “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston tells the
    story of a Black washerwoman named Delia in 1920’s Florida who must contend
    with an abusive husband.
    2.   
    Introduce
    your topic. For example, if you want to talk about the snake as a symbol, talk a little about how the snake appears in
    the story. 
    Ex. One of the ways in which
    Delia’s husband humiliates and frightens her is by bringing a snake into their
    home. Delia, a meek, churchgoing woman is deathly afraid of snakes, as they
    stand for everything which she and her religion oppose.
    3.   
    Conclude
    your introduction with the Magic Thesis Statement (MTS)
    Ex. By looking at the snake as a symbol, we can see a representation of an
    evil that ultimately devours itself, which most readers don’t see. Although
    the snake begins as a means for Sykes to intimidate Delia, it soon gets free
    from it’s holding box, enters her laundry basket and, in the climax of the
    story, bites and kills Sykes rather than Delia. It is important to look at this aspect of the text because it
    illustrates the theme that karma will ultimately destroy evildoers.
    NOTE: Theme should not include mention of the characters in
    the story. This is because the theme is where the story opens up to apply to
    everyday life, not just the text. Therefore, your theme should be what an
    author has to say about a big idea (karma, in this case) generally, NOT AS IT
    APPLIES ONLY TO THE STORY.
    NOTE: Be as specific as possible. You don’t want the title
    or an element of fiction (alone) or the character’s name to go in the first
    slot ever (By looking at “Sweat”…. By looking as Delia….  By looking at symbolism….). Tell us what
    symbol specifically you’ll be looking at. It should be one symbol (the frying
    pan as a symbol) or one group of symbols (domestic items symbolically). It
    should not be multiple, unrelated symbols (By looking at the snake, the house
    and the frying pan symbolically…)
    Body Paragraphs (at least 3):
    1.   
    Situate
    us in the story and introduce your topic
    Ex. In the beginning of the
    story, Sykes brings a snake into Delia’s home while she is separating laundry
    by light colors and dark colors. This is the first time Hurston introduces the
    snake and through her descriptive language we can see how the snake is symbolic
    of Sykes’ evil.
    2.   
    Bring
    in a quote as evidence to back up you point (in this case that the snake is
    symbolic of Sykes’ evil)
    3.   
    Analyze
    the quote. Explain how it does indeed go to show that the snake is
    representative of Sykes’ evil. Do not end a paragraph on a quote. You need to
    explain/analyze your quotes each time.
    Conclusion Paragraph:
    1. Restate your
    thesis (in different words)
    2. Summarize your
    main points (in different words)
    3. End with a
    personal comment/suggestion for further inquiry
    To further our understanding of Hurston’s use of the snake
    as a symbol, we may want to do a comparative analysis between the snake in the
    Book of Genesis and the snake in “Sweat”.
    NOTE: Do not
    write “In conclusion….” Or “In summary….” Or anything like that.
    NOTE: Short
    stories are always in quotations: “Sweat” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find”
    NOTE: If a
    quotation is long and you only need certain sections you can do this to shorten
    it and get to the point:
    “glkrsajgeijgigrqiljglirgiqng … gasijrgnqeignijgrnq  … ljgnqilgnqlin”  (23).
    NOTE: The above
    citation structure. Quote, end quote, parenthesis with page number, period.

    For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography on a topic related to the natural sciences.  Your annotated bibliography will include an abstract describing the issue and summarizing the body of research included in your bibliography. You will provide annotations for at least three sources that come from peer-reviewed academic journals no more than five years old (2019).  Three more sources must come from layperson non-scholarly magazines, newspapers, or magazine-like webpages.
    Step One: You must create research questions for your topic.  They should not be close-ended questions such as “What causes global warming?”  Instead, they should be open-ended, but also very specific: “How does global warming affect the migration habits of tropical marine life, and how might that affect endangered populations?” No two topics can be the same.
    Step Two:  Begin your research.  Use advanced search in NC LIVE to find peer-reviewed, scholarly academic journals.
    Step Three: READ your articles.  You will need to summarize AND evaluate your sources, so you must understand them.
    Step Four: Begin creating your annotated bibliography. Provide a bibliographic entry in APA format. Write a concise annotation (minimum 150 words) that (1) fully summarizes the main idea or findings of the article, (2) verifies the qualifications and credibility of the author (ethos), (3) comments on the effectiveness or usefulness of the work in relation to your research questions (logos), and (4) addresses any biases the authors may have (pathos).
    Assignment Specifics
    6 sources: (3 peer-reviewed/scholarly articles from NC Live; 3 non-scholarly/other types of credible sources (ie. magazines, newspapers, documentary videos, etc.) – Each annotation will include the proper citation and paragraphs that summarize, analyze, and compare your source. Each evaluative summary should have a minimum of 150 words.
    APA 7 format –  AB must contain a title page (use an attention-grabbing and thought out title that pertains to your topic; avoid ‘Annotated Bibliography’), abstract on a separate page, and the annotated bibliography.  Follow rules for citations, page numbers, and annotation format.
