Cite your sources using the PURDUE OWL siteYou may not use the general internet as a sourceESSAY CHOICE #1: IMAGES Images in stories do more than just stand in for ideas: they help create feelings in the reader. For each story, focus on one image and explain how it was meant to cause an emotional response in the reader. Some questions to ask yourself could be “How does the image help us feel what the story wants us to feel?” or “Is the story successful in using the image to evoke an emotional response?”Please try hard to frame your paragraphs like this:A paragraph that STARTS to answer the above question would have three parts: 1. Identify an important image and tell what it represents, 2. then explain the feelings this image evokes, 3. then explain how the feelings contribute to the story overall. EXAMPLE of how to frame the paragraph*This is color-coded in the same way as the above explanation:The American flag can be considered an image of patriotism used in the story “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” When the flag is first described, it is waving over a newly built bridge. There are also soldiers about, and the flag in this scene really helps the reader feel the can-do attitude of early America. This is an interesting use of the flag, because as the story continues, we learn that the story is really about the opposite of an organized country — it is about the way patriotism can blind a person to truth. (Bierce 45)ESSAY CHOICE #2: CHARACTERThe main character (and sometimes the supporting cast) sometimes change and sometimes do not. By “change,” I mean a change of mind, a change of personality, a change of belief, or a change in attitude, to name a few. In other words some type of deep change that might seem small on the surface.Choose one character from each short story and write about how that character does or does not change. Please try hard to frame your paragraphs like this:Identify the characterIdentify the change / non-changeBreak the change down into smaller parts, and focus individual paragraphs on each small part. Show evidence that hints to you that the character did / did not changeEXAMPLEof how to frame the paragraphThe narrator of “Everyday Use” is Mama.Mama’s big change is in the way she sees Maggie. For example, when the story starts out, Mama does not really see Maggie at all. She refers to her as a “hang dog” (315), and talks about giving in to a stray dog’s need for love aka Maggie’s need for love, as something only an ignorant person would do (315). At the end of the story we see Mama change when she gives Maggie the quilts that Dee was asking for. We know this is a big change because of Maggie’s reaction. When Maggie says that Dee can have the quilts (320), you can tell that Maggie expects Mama to let Dee have them. When Mama doesn’t give them away so easily, you can see that Maggie is pleasantly surprised because Walker describes her as having “the biggest smile for the rest of the day” (321). In this example, the focus is that Mama begins to appreciate Maggie. To break this change down into smaller paragraphs, we dedicated the above paragraph above to finally seeing Maggie. Subsequent paragraphs could gather evidence for other ways Mama changes her mind about Maggie:Separate possible body paragraph on: Mama moves from blaming Maggie to accepting herSeparate possible body paragraph on: Mama hints that she does not touch Maggie ever, to small gesturesSeparate possible body paragraph on: Mama once offered the same quilts to Dee that she is now giving to MaggieSeparate possible body paragraph on: Maggie’s responses and reactions tells us about the way Mama treats her (and her reactions change throughout the story)Notes on MLA“Everyday Use”For an In-text citation, do this: (Walker 314) [Where 314 represents the page the idea is found on.]For your works cited page, list it alphabetically like this:Walker, Alice. “Everyday Use.” Collected by Frances DiSalvo, Blackboard LMS, 25 May 2019, pp 314-322, drive.google.com/file/d/1s_RbIHrV5I6uDyQB_dL3I0MuQO4otSWw/view?usp=sharing.“The Red Convertible” For an In-text citation, do this: (Erdich 312) [Where 312 represents the page the idea is found on.]For your works cited page, list it alphabetically like this:Erdrich, Louise. “The Red Convertible.” Love Machine, New and Expanded Edition, Henry Holt and Company, LLC, 1993, pp. 306-314.“Young Goodman Brown”For an In-text citation, do this: (Hawthorne 12) [Where 12 represents the page the idea is found on.]For your works cited page, list it alphabetically like this:Hawthorne, Nathaniel. “Young Goodman Brown.” Mosses from an Old Manse and Other Stories, Produced by Charles Keller, HTML version by Al Haines, Project Gutenberg, 2008, pp. 3-12, www.gutenberg.org/files/512/512-h/512-h.htm.
