  • Enlightenment and the Journey to Knowledge: Analyzing Plato’s Allegory of the Cave Title: “Focused Literary Analysis: Exploring Critical Arguments in [Assigned Literature]”

    Attached is the annotated bibliography with the 4 sources already provided. 
    The first thing below is the prosal topic I turned in and was approved. 
    Brianna Haefele 
    Professor Hayes 
    World Literature 
    April 24th 2024 
    Research Topic Proposal 
    List the author name(s) and literary work(s) you plan to write about. 
    Platos Allergy of the Cave 
    Provide a basic research question. 
    How does Plato’s Allegory of the Cave illustrate the concept of enlightenment and the journey from ignorance to knowledge? 
    Provide a clearly-labelled working thesis statement. 
    In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, the journey of the prisoners from ignorance to enlightenment serves as a metaphor for the process of philosophical awakening, highlighting the transformative power of knowledge and the challenges inherent in seeking truth. 
    Write a proposal paragraph in which you explain why you are interested in this literature, what led you to this topic, what you hope to learn as you proceed in your research, and any possible challenges or concerns you might face as you work on this project. 
    I am deeply interested in the philosophical insights Plato’s Allegory of the Cave presents. The allegory explores the nature of reality, perception, and enlightenment, making it a fascinating topic to explore. I want to investigate the timeless themes of knowledge, truth, and the human condition depicted by Plato. By doing so, I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the allegory’s significance and its implications for contemporary thought. My goal is to uncover the symbolism and metaphors Plato employs and examine how the allegory resonates with modern interpretations of reality and consciousness. However, I anticipate challenges in deciphering the nuanced philosophical concepts and synthesizing various scholarly interpretations. Additionally, navigating the vast array of secondary literature on Plato’s works may pose a daunting task. Nevertheless, I am eager to embark on this intellectual journey and engage with the complexities of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. 
    Work Cited

    Below here is the instructions from the professor so you have all the information needed to write the best paper and meet all the requirements.
    For your research paper due in week 7, you will write a literary analysis with a specific, creative thesis and opinionated argument. Your finished essay will meaningfully incorporate 1-2 of the assigned readings this quarter and make a unified argument with specific assertions and researched support. Your paper is expected to contain some focus on your chosen literature’s status as world literature and what can be learned by examining the author(s) or work(s) from cultural, historical, or sociological perspectives. In terms of content, the most effective essays will
    Evaluate and apply diverse perspectives (such as cultural, disciplinary, and ethical) to complex global subjects
    Articulate an understanding of cultural differences
    Demonstrate sophisticated understanding of the complexity of elements important to members of another culture in relation to its history, values, politics, communication styles, economy, or beliefs and practices.
    Explore complex questions about other cultures and articulate answers to these questions.
    To support your analysis, you must use at least four secondary sources from the GMC Library in addition to the literary work(s) discussed in your paper. The final paper must be at least 1500 words in length (and no more than 2000).
    Requirements:
    Thesis/Analysis
    Your research paper must be a cohesive literary analysis of 1-2 of the assigned readings.
    Your thesis statement must be clear, debatable, assignment-appropriate, and supported throughout your paper.
    Avoid irrelevant biographical information or extensive plot summary. Your paper should prioritize focused literary analysis.
    Research
    You must use at least 4 secondary sources (in addition to primary sources- the literature itself) that provide critical arguments about the reading you’ve chosen. Research must come from class-provided resources or relevant scholarly articles from GMC Library databases. 
    You may quote, paraphrase, or summarize your sources, but don’t let your research dominate the paper- you are the primary writer and thinker here, not your sources.
    Your paper must be formatted according to MLA style.
    You must include proper in-text citations within the body of your paper when quoting or paraphrasing primary and secondary sources.
    You must include a works cited page at the end of your paper. Your works cited should include entries for both your research sources as well as the assigned literature you’ve chosen to write about. 
    For more information about MLA style, review the How-To Guide: MLA Formatting and Citations page linked in class. 
    Grammar/Mechanics
    All written assignments should be mechanically and grammatically correct, with proper punctuation.
    Avoid first-person point-of-view formal academic writing.
    Take time to edit and revise your paper as needed prior to submission.
    Organization
    The introduction should name all relevant authors/works involved, and include a clear, appropriate thesis statement.
    Each body paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that relates back to the thesis. The information in each paragraph should relate to the topic sentence.
    The conclusion should rephrase your thesis, summarize key supporting ideas, and offer your final impressions and observations on the topic. 
    Bear in mind that the structure of a paper- the thesis statement, the introduction, and the conclusion- should all work together. Before you begin writing, write an outline to organize your ideas. Doing so should help you write a more well-organized essay.

  • Title: “Exploring the Absurd: A Critical Analysis of Daniil Kharms’ The Blue Notebook through the Lens of Russian Literary Critics”

    Below you will find my old paper attached. Here are the coments from my proffesor. revise the paper using the comments and extend the paper to 15 pages total.
    There are some interesting considerations about the reception and potential for Russian literary critics’ work to be useful in analyzing The Blue Notebook, but there are likewise elements of the essay which could be improved to make it more effective.
    The essay doesn’t offer a thesis, and it isn’t clear what research question is being explored by this paper. The goal of the research paper is to pursue a research question and to offer an answer to that question in the form of a thesis. This paper seems more like a report on The Blue Notebook that touches on many of its elements, rather than singling out one and contributing original research to our understanding of the source text. I would encourage you to think about an open question related to The Blue Notebook that interests you, and forming a thesis around answering that question.
    The language used throughout the essay is very vague and abstract. You often make claims, such as “the text is filled with bizarre and fantastical events, absurd characters, and unexpected twists,” without citing examples from the text to substantiate the claim. Occasionally doing this is fine, but just about every example of your discussion of the text never actually touches on the letter of the text at all.
    The inclusion of Shklovsky and Bakhtin is puzzling. This paragraph doesn’t seem to have much bearing on the rest of the text. Why do you consider this to be important, if these ideas never reoccur in the essay, what is it contributing to your analysis of Kharms’ collection?
    The essay is lacking some very important MLA elements. It is absolutely essential for research papers to have a title, and the Works Cited page isn’t properly formatted. 

  • “Exploring the Form and Function of Literature in Robinson Crusoe: A Scholarly Analysis”

    typed double-spaced paper that must include a title and a works cited page. Please use single-spaced indented block quotes for any quote more than three sentences long and follow all quotes by the source page number in parenthesis.
    This essay would be scholarly commentaries and close-readings–analysis of the literary works under discussion or some of the more substantial theoretical works.
    The essay needs to pursue a focused argument pertaining to the form/content of the novel being  discuss. How does it work as literature? And how does their formal properties convey and comment on their themes? In other words—how does this book work? These are very short exercises so it is better to maintain laser focus on a specific aspect of the text and its functioning as literature. There is no space for generalities here—you need to treat every sentence as addressing the utmost specificity in terms of how the novels function as literature.
    paper should include commentary on at least two scholarly articles weaved into your argument about they attatched work
    The work/novel referred on those guidelines will be “Robinson Crusoe”, a pdf for the book is attacthed, adding to that there will need to be 2 schoolary articles(these articles can be of your own choosing to support the argument you chose based on the novel) for a grand total of 3 sources.

    Course Description:
    Medical memoirs are first person narrative texts written from the unique subject position of the 
    author; they may be written by doctors, nurses, researchers, or patients. In this course, students will read a variety of texts that use first-person narration and a variety of other storytelling techniques for multiple purposes: to explain disease mechanisms and medical insights or innovations; to        process the trauma of illness or the trauma of working within healthcare; or to illuminate the unique challenges of doctors, nurses, researchers, or patients. Students will work with memoirs of varying lengths and texts published in multiple venues
    Course Introduction and Goals:
    In this course, we will read medical memoirs by doctors, other health care workers, patients, journalists, and activists as entry points into thinking about historically significant, urgent, and deeply political questions about US health care. We will interpret these memoirs as texts that intervene in medical debates from a range of perspectives, and we will use them to provoke us into thinking about illness, the health care professions, and the experience of being a patient in their wide social contexts. Students will be given the opportunity to think, both academically and creatively, about medical memoirs and the issues of social marginalization along axes of race, gender, sexuality, class, and disability that they raise. We will, furthermore, consider illness and injury as forms of social marginalization in and of themselves. The course is organized thematically, with each unit giving us a personal glimpse into a particular medical issue. This course will involve writing assignments and presentations, and there will be ample time for class discussion. It is critical for your success in the course that you do each class session’s reading assignment before that particular class and come to every class ready to substantially discuss that reading
