solved Choose one of the following topics and write a paper

Choose one of the following topics and write a paper on it.  
The first THREE topics are essays.  If you write on one of these, your final draft should include a thesis statement in the introduction.   Quote or cite passages from the text on which you are writing to illustrate your ideas.  
1.Choose a theme OTHER than father figures that runs through two or three stories in The Dew Breaker.  What connections does the theme establish between the stories?  Why are they important in The Dew Breaker?  How does the treatment of the theme differ in the stories?  How are the differences important?  How does Danticat’s use of multiple points of view affect your understanding of the theme?   TEXT TO USE  (Danticat, Edwidge.  The Dew Breaker.  New York: Vintage, 2005.  ISBN: 978-1400034291.)
2. Many of Frida Kahlo’s paintings and Maria Palacios’s poems focus on the artists’ bodies, even though they are in pain.  Choose one or two paintings by Kahlo that depict Kahlo’s own body in ways that you find powerful or interesting, and choose one poem by Palacios that takes her body as its focus. What does each (the artist and the poet) achieve by refusing to turn away from her body amid physical and emotional pain?  In Kahlo’s paintings you may consider the relation between her facial expression or her clothing and her body. In Palacios’s poem, consider the relation between the voice of the poem’s speaker and her body.  Your discussion of Kahlo’s paintings should draw on her use of some of the formal elements of painting (line, form, light/shade, and color.)  Your discussion of Palacios’s poem should draw her specific uses of language (oxymorons, metaphors, strong verbs, concrete nouns &etc.)
You may choose a variation on topic 2 in which you focus exclusively on Kahlo’s paintings or on Palacio’s poems.  If you write only on Kahlo, discuss three paintings.  If you write only on Palacios, discuss two or three poems.

3. In Dressing Skeletons, the speaker of the poems claims that she is like Kahlo, that she is addicted to Kahlo, that she loves Kahlo, and that she is Kahlo.  Discuss two or three poems that make, or draw on, such claims.  What does the relationship with Kahlo accomplish for the speaker of the poems and how? (Consider at least three accomplishments.)  What does the relationship with Kahlo accomplish for Palacios as an advocate for disability awareness, and how? (Consider at least two accomplishments.) In the course of your discussion, be sure to consider the poet’s specific uses of language, for example: oxymorons, metaphors, strong verbs, concrete nouns &etc.
4. Creative Assignment:  Following the example of Palacios, write one or two poems (2 -3 pages of poetry) in response to one or two paintings by Kahlo.  Each poem(s) should establish a clear, specific relationship between its speaker and Kahlo.  Like Palacios, use specific figures of speech and hone parts of speech to echo Kahlo’s use of some of the formal elements of painting.  Palacios, for example, uses metaphors, oxymorons, strong verbs, and concrete nouns to echo Kahlo’s use of line, form, light/shade, and color.  The last two pages of your paper should explain in detail how you have used specific features of language to respond to specific aspects of Kahlo’s painting(s) and why.
