Essay List
Use at least one essay from the thematic list below to analyze. You are not limited to the questions or topics indicated. You may analyze the writing of the essay, the word choices, or the position on the topic taken by the writer. If you choose to use more than one of these essays, you must unify your analysis of the topic for both essays.
Stereotypes and Prejudice
Maya Angelou's "Champion of the World," p. 104, or George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant," p. 619
How do these perceptions show us the other side of stereotypes and prejudices? What are the issues that these essays can be used to explain or depict?
Societal Expectations
Fatema Mermissi, "Size 6: The Western Women's Harem," p. 274
How does she depict Western women as being even more confined in a harem by our societal expectations? How does this really affect your expectation of female beauty? What surprises you about this contrast, and do you support or deny her assertion?
Poverty
Jonathan Swift, "A Modest Proposal,"
In what way is this satiric? What is the purpose of the narrator's position on the solution to the problem of poverty? Does it convey the literal meaning of this argument, or does the narrator have another purpose in mind? How do we know the answer to the previous question?
