The proposal is considered a working thesis from which you will build your entire paper. STEP 1. Your first job is to pick a text, a concept, and a lens through which to view your text. Text: William Faulkners A Rose for Emily Core Concept: The power of death Critical Lens: Primarily, William Faulkners A Rose for Emily mostly portrays the power of death as a core concept in the short story, relating it to a historical lens. STEP 2. Summarize what you know about the connection between that text and core concept. a. What places in the story does your lens or concept most appear? What are a few details or examples that best demonstrate the concept? (2 sentences) Faulkner uses the power of death as a core concept to explain Emilys sad life relating it to a historical lens. According to Gale (2016), the power of death manifests itself both in the beginning and the end focusing much on Emilys death. They help unveil the different struggles she goes through both as a woman and as a member of her community b. What types of questions do you have at this point that you hope to better understand? What do you not yet understand about the story or its characters? What will you need to answer further when researching your topic? (2 sentences) I hope to better understand how Emily uses Homers companionship as a way of drawing her closer to someone, killing him in the process with an attempt to bring him closer to her. I would also like to understand the idea of Emily becoming a popular culture in their community despite missing the major part of communication as a member of that society. STEP 3. Review your notes above and write a debatable working thesis statement that brings together your chosen lens and the theme you are considering in the story. THESIS STATEMENT: (ONE SENTENCE) In “A Rose for Emily”, applying the historical lens reveals the theme of death as Faulkner uses the emotional and physical failure of Emily, comparing it to the death and deterioration of the southern nobility after the American Civil war.

English IV Research Paper Unit Annotated Bibliography (Research Component) 25 Points (Reading) Due Dates C Block: Wed. Jan 15 A & E Blocks: Thurs. Jan 16 Now that you have your own ideas, use this as a chance to begin your conversation with the authors you’re reading. You must include a minimum of 5 sources total in your analytical essay, therefore I suggest you find 6 or 7 sources before you begin writing to ensure you have enough relevant information. Follow the formatting example below. You must have at least 5 sources and of those you must have: 1. Historical research: 1-2 articles about the time period, social/political climate, and place in which the story takes place (For instance, consider Dublin in the early 20 th century) 2. Authorial research: 1 article about your author. What’s the story around your text? Your author? His or her political or social views? What prompted your author to write this story? 3. Literary Criticism: 3-4 articles that specifically address your short story and, ideally, your core concept. As you are looking for articles, skim the opening paragraphs to see if it will be useful and relevant to you. After gathering your chosen articles, YOU MUST READ THEM! Then, record the following for each one: Source #____: Type of Source (Historical or Authorial Research, Literary Criticism) 1. Bibliography information - MLA citation for article 2. A summary of what the article is about (3-4 sentences). This should be written in your own words. For the Literary Criticism sources, especially, focus on coming to terms with the text’s argument. 3. 3-5 relevant, significant quotes and/or paraphrased ideas from each article that you could potentially use in your paper. On the following pages, see two examples of how your entries should look. EXAMPLES Bucky Bulldog Dr. Andrews English IV – __ Block 15 January 2020 Annotated Bibliography: Applying the Marxist Lens to Dorothy Allison’s “River of Names” Source #1 (Authorial Research) Allison, Dorothy. “A Question of Class.” Skin: Talking about Sex, Class, and Literature. Firebrand Books, 2005, pp. 5-15. Summary: In this essay, Dorothy Allison discusses how the realization that otherness is attributed to poor people by various mythologies has influenced her writing. Allison argues that mythologies about poverty exist in order to rationalize richer communities’ fears of losing their status if poorer communities make gains, and that this same process of fear and oppression plays out it in all the ways people categorize each other. Further she argues that this othering of poor people occurs even within other groups that are commonly othered in their culture. Being a member of one oppressed group does not mean that you will be free from oppression due to some other categorization within that group. Notes: — As an example of othering poor people within a group that itself experiences othering, Allison discusses her experiences in certain lesbian feminist collectives. While she attempted to leave her “poor white trash” identity behind her, she was still looked down on by other members of these collectives for maintaining aspects of that she wasn’t even aware of. — Allison discusses two types of mythologized poor people that she was aware of growing up in the South: the “good poor” who worked hard and kept themselves invisible so as not to discomfit the middle class, and the “bad poor” who were lazy and drunk and dirty and loud and violent. — “My people were not remarkable. We were ordinary, but even so we were mythical” (5). — “The choice becomes Steven Spielberg movies or Erskine Caldwell novels, the one valorizing and the other caricaturing…” (6). — “I am trying to understand how we internalize the myths of our society even as we resist them” (10). — “The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal” (15). Source #2: Literary Criticism 1. Bibliography information- Ginzburg, Carlo. “To Kill a Chinese Mandarin: The Moral Implications of Distance.” Wooden Eyes: Nine Reflections on Distance. Trans. Martin Ryle and Kate Soper. Columbia UP, 2001, 157-72. 2. Summary: In his essay, Ginzburg addresses the question: What is the exact distance that permits us to see things as they are? To understand our world, suggests Ginzburg, it is necessary to find a balance between being so close to the object that our vision is warped by familiarity or so far from it that the distance becomes distorting. The author goes on to consider the concepts of perspective, representation, imagery, and myth. 3. Quotes/Questions/Notes: -Aristotle’s Rhetoric on the “chronological and geographical limits of pity and envy were the most important factors” (159) -Research “Aristotle’s Rhetoric,” since it is referenced in Ginzburg’s article. -What are the cultural understandings of Chinese “pity” and “envy” ? Were these regarded as bad things in Chinese culture? Good? I should research this. “The murderer transported to the coast of China is too far away to make out the corpse he has left bleeding on the banks of the Seine” (161) “This turning inward takes place across a geographical space—the distance from France to China—infinitely wider than the Mediterranean world Aristotle wrote of. But why China?” (162) -With the above quote, Ginzburg does not really ever give us an answer as to why China was the main player? ... Purchase answer to see full attachment
