  • “Advancing Knowledge in [Student’s Major]: A Research Proposal and Annotated Bibliography”

    This assignment will have three parts: a topic, a written research proposal, and an annotated bibliography.
    The topic should address current issues in the student’s major and advance his or her knowledge through research. Keep in mind that rehashing old questions or reviewing concepts other than as background information, or to show progress in a particular area of research, is not advancing knowledge and can produce misleading or wrong conclusions.
    The research proposal will include a summary of preliminary research that has been done (e.g., areas of interest that have been explored and pursued or discarded, changes in focus of research, discoveries that have advanced the research, as well as dead ends); the research question (at this point in the project); the working thesis; and why it is relevant that this project and research should continue.
    An annotated bibliography consists of bibliographical entries along with an annotation. An annotation is a note of explanation or comment added to a text, and may include a summary of the information contained in the cited work, an assessment or evaluation of the cited material, and a reflection on how this entry may be useful in the development of the research project. Each annotation does not need to include all three of these notes, but each does require the information necessary to remember why the entry is important. The annotation is for the student’s benefit! 
    Students must have a minimum of six current sources, of which at least three are from 1995 forward. These can include: journals in the student’s major, Internet sources, and interviews. Books (often outdated by the time they get published) are generally poor sources except for background information. Trade magazines or special interest group sources may have built-in biases. Check the source of all information for reliability. Is the Internet site sanctioned by a reputable institution or organization? Is the person interviewed experienced in the subject? Does he or she have a built-in bias which needs to be addressed in the paper? What personal biases should students be aware of to produce a scholarly look at this subject?
    The research proposal is a one (1) to two (2) page word document, written in Times New Roman, 12-point font. The proposal should follow MLA formatting.   This paper is written in the third person.  It will not be written in first-person (I, we, us) or second-person (you) perspective.

  • Title: “Exploring Identity and Invisibility in Ralph Ellison’s ‘Battle Royal’”

    write a 1-2 paragraph answer for each of the questions using the PDF i have put the questions her in a PDF to download: 
    What is the significance of the grandfather’s dying words—and of the fact that they were
    spoken by someone always regarded as meek and subservient?
    What connection is there between the attitude toward life as a “war” and the narrator’s dream
    at the end of the story, about the message he finds in his prize briefcase”? What does it mean for a black man to be kept “running”? How would grandfather’s advice address this strategy
    by whites?
    Why does the narrator feel guilty about his success at school? Is he following his grandfather’s
    advice? Why did the school superintendent or principal like the narrator’s graduation speech
    so much?
    What do the activities at the “smoker”—the blond stripper, the free-for-all boxing, the fool’s
    gold on the electrified rug, and the reprise of the narrator’s speech—seem to represent? What
    tacit message is being delivered about the goals and achievements of young black men? Why
    does the narrator worry, throughout the smoker, about his speech? What is the irony of its
    contents? How is his verbal slip regarding social “equality” meaningful?
    What is the narrative point of view used in this story? What is the relation between the time of
    the action and the time of its telling? How have the narrator’s views changed in the interim?
    What does the narrator mean by referring to himself as an “invisible man”? How does the story
    reveal the meaning of his “invisibility”? How can he discover his real identity—from others, or
    within himself? (This process of discovery is more fully explored in Ellison’s great novel,
    Invisible Man [1952])
