Analyze the two readings for prominent factors

Reference no: EM133480213

Case: You may use any ONE of the novel chapters that we have read so far--themes that focused on either children or youth or adults. Then choose ONE of our linked readings from this unit:

Readings to reference (choose ONE that you have NOT already written about):

John Taylor Gatto "Against School"Download John Taylor Gatto "Against School"

This is a first draft and may incorporate your relevant personal reactions and insight/examples (not just feelings but actual experiences)--you will notice that the chapters emphasize putting oneself in the background/minimizing oneself, but this effort can be more relaxed than a formal essay for our midterm purposes. Please don't leave your perspective out of your analyses!

PROMPT:
Analyze the two readings for prominent factors such as the following (be selective; you don't have to use them all) to establish that each contributes X to our understanding of Y (you will decide what X and Y are. (You may use that sentence stem to help you develop your thesis).
the author's form and organization
the author's particular point of view/tone
stylistic choices
language (figurative, sensory, technical)
examples and specific details
recurring patterns, symbols, ideas
connections to historical/social/cultural issues
the meaning/overall message of the piece
Particularly attend to the sentence starters on pages 29-30 of the Writing Guide and to the tips on pages 517-19. Avoid outside research. Use passages from the texts to point readers to what you find and connect to. You may consult Grammarly.com and NetTutor, but think of writing in a 2-2 1/2 hour time frame like an exam.

Provide an introduction, multiple body paragraphs, and a closure.
