Description: As a compare/contrast essay, this essay should connect one story from Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior to one of the previous stories by Soto or Salinas or the Sophoclean drama Antigone. As a way of focusing your analysis, choose a common theme or idea that appears in both texts or perhaps a common literary device (see list of literary terms in our course reader/packet). Please plan to submit your best effort even if it is not “perfect.” I expect to see a focused argumentative thesis with supporting points based on textual analysis. Use the text as support, and do not stop short in your analysis. A quotation from the text will not illustrate your thesis on its own. You must tell the reader, through close reading and elaboration upon the quotation, how it illustrates your thesis. It is also better to elaborate in detail upon one example in a paragraph than to bring in too many undeveloped examples. Papers must also use MLA in-text citation style Requirements: 3-4 double-spaced pages in 12 pt/Times New Roman font. (Use standard one-inch margins and number your pages) An arguable thesis based on YOUR OWN interpretation of the text. Please use bold face to highlight your thesis statement. Direct engagement with the texts we have read. You must use quotation and analysis to back up your points. Consider using one, if not more quotations per paragraph. Instead of long quotations, break up and place existing quotations into your own writing. Prompt Description: How do you think one of the stories from Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior relates to EITHER Gary Soto’s “The Jacket,” Marta Salinas’s “The Scholarship Jacket,” or Sophocles’ Antigone? Here are some possible areas of focus. Do not answer all of the questions! What is the meaning of growing up as a cultural outsider or nonconformist? How does the literature we have read examine the meaning of justice and fairness? How do the stories explore the idea of self-image? What role does a community or social group play in one’s individual choices? What ideas about family/kinship are beicsung explored in these texts?
