Introduction to Composition Assignment - Text Summary and Analysis
Summarize and analyze the given article.
Articles - "The Egg and the Sperm: How Science Has Constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male-Female Roles" by Emily Martin.
Summary (200-250 words)
Your goal in the first half of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to understand the argument being put forward in the article you have chosen. Do this by summarizing the argument clearly and concisely: you must identify the article's main argument, and the key details that are used to support it. What is the author saying, and what evidence is the author providing?
Analysis (200-250 words)
Your goal in the second half of this assignment is to analyze how the argument is organized and presented, and explain what makes it work. You could take note of the details the author has included and/or left out, the order in which the information is presented, the point of view taken by the author, the tone of the piece, etc. Try to "read between the lines:" uncover why the author says what s/he/ze says. Your job here is not to agree or disagree with the article, but to assess its structure and strategy. What is the rhetorical position of the argument, and what strategies does the author use to make it? How does the language of the article affect its content?
Notes: For the purposes of this assignment, do not analyze the article in the summary section, or summarize the article in the analysis section.
