First:secondary sources are prohibited for this course, and that GradeSaver, Shmoop, Cliffnotes, Sparknotes, Enotes and other study guides are all secondary sources.Length:5 pagesAssignment:Choose one of the following topics and write an essay on it.Your final draft should include a thesis statement in the introduction. Use the sub-questions I ask or sub-questions of your own to help you develop your thesis through smaller ideas that support it. Quote or cite passages from the text on which you are writing to illustrate your ideas. See the sheet on MLA quotation and citation format for fiction and other prose on the Information Page of the course Blackboard site.On the due date, you must submit an electronic copy of your essay through the program “Turnitin” on Blackboard, which you will find on the Content Page of the Blackboard site. 1. Choose two stories in Danticat’s The Dew Breaker other than “Water Child” and “Night Talkers” in which the fragmentation of relations or the alienation of characters is thematically important. Discuss the relationship between alienation and diaspora in each story. (You may use the file on diaspora on the Information Page of the course Blackboard site as a reference, which you then must cite.) In each case, does the story suggest the possibility of forging connections? Explain. What kinds of connections are they? Are there any drawbacks to forming connections? How do the style and form of Danticat’s text involve readers in the problems raised by alienation or fragmentation? 2. 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?3. How do the problematic relations of Dominican machismo affect the character Lola in Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao? To address the question, consider her relation to other characters. Which characters in her life bring machismo directly to bear on her and how? Which characters bring it to her indirectly, through its effects on themselves? In each case, what is her response? Do you think Lola successfully navigates the perils that machismo presents to her? Explain.4. Most critics agree that the voice of Yunior, the primary narrator of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, is very important in the novel. They have debated whether Yunior’s voice is a mode of freedom set against dictatorship, a source of seduction into a novel that carries homophobia and the objectification of women, or an example of the way that narrator’s voices in novels carry authority or control that is both like and unlike the voice of a dictator. Choose three or four passages where you find tensions between freedom and power or control in Yunior’s voice. Use no more than one passage that we discussed in class. How does each passage work with the tensions between freedom and power? Be sure to define what you mean by freedom and by power and to consider whose freedom and/or power is at stake? What do you think is the primary role of Yunior’s voice? How is it related to the other issues raised above? 5. Submit a proposal for a topic of your own on either Danticat’s The Dew Breaker or Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Woa by Friday, October 7. In a sentence or two explain the topic you wish to investigate. Then raise three or four sub-questions that will help you explore the topic in some detail. Explain which scenes in the novel you plan to reread in order to come to understand the problem in specific terms. Do not use study guides to define your topic or to frame your questions.
