Hinduism and Karma.
RELS 1304 Mini-Research Paper Instructions Over the course of our semester, each student is required to write a research paper on each of the five religious traditions we discuss in class. While the topic is totally up to you, it must coincide with the religion discussed in class (i.e. when writing a paper on Judaism, your paper must specifically relate to the Jewish religion.) The object of these papers is for you to choose a topic we discussed in class and compose a research paper. Choose a topic that interests you. For example, when we discuss Judaism, we will talk about a period called the Babylonian Exile. Maybe you want to learn more about the Jewish experience.
Hinduism and Karma.
Or when we discuss Christianity, we will talk about the “Gospel of Thomas” which was deemed heretical by Church authority. Maybe you want to know more about this gospel. Whatever topic you choose, research it and report your findings. ALL PAPERS MUST BE TURNED AS HARD COPIES AND IN CLASS ON THE DATE REGISTERED IN THE SYLLABUS; IF YOU ARE ABSENT FROM CLASS, YOU CAN EMAIL IT ON THE DUE DATE TO AVOID PENALTIES, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO BRING IN A HARD COPY THE NEXT DAY OF CLASS; EMAILED PAPERS WILL NOT BE GRADED.
Hinduism and Karma.
Nuts and Bolts Page Length: 2.5 pages minimum, double-spaced (anything less will result in a deduction from grade) MLA Format If unfamiliar with MLA format, see this website: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ Four sources minimum (scholarly articles and/or books). If you use websites, make sure the author is known and reputable in the field. The strength of your sources will be a factor in your overall grade. Creative Option Throughout history, religion has inspired creative expression. Perhaps you will find yourself creatively inspired as well. As such, over the course of the semester you will be allowed to substitute two creative works for the research papers.
Hinduism and Karma.
This can include poetry, short stories, painting, sculptures, etc. If you choose such option, your creative work must be accompanied by a 2.5 page double spaced paper that includes a proper introduction, body, and conclusion. For your paper, tell me what inspired your creation, what are you trying to express, and, most importantly, how does it connect to course material (lecture/readings)? While your creative piece as a whole will factor into your overall grade, you will not be judged on how great a painter you are or how fantastic your poem is. Bear in mind, however, that a creative piece that appears to have been thrown together will negatively effect your overall grade.
Hinduism and Karma.
That being said, your paper will be the primary basis for your grade and, as such, should meet the minimum page requirement, address the questions as described above, and be well-written. Grading Grading is based on both form (30 points) and content (70 points) Note: If your paper does not meet the MINIMUM required page length and/or fulfill the source requirements you will receive a deduction from your grade. A document titled “Common Problems” is located in the modules section on Canvas. https://youtu.be/v-NzVIwyZso

Sonnets written during the Renaissance. 2022 Best
This paper involves writing an essay in which you compare some of the sonnets written during the Renaissance. How do different approaches to the sonnet form signal different thematic concerns?
Sonnets written during the Renaissance.
Essay Paper details: Topics 1. Many poets of the Harlem Renaissance made extensive use of the sonnet form; module 2 contains examples such as Countee Cullen’s “From the Dark Tower,” Helene Johnson’s “Sonnet to a Negro in Harlem,” and Claude McKay’s “If We Must Die.” Write an essay in which you compare some of the sonnets written during the Harlem Renaissance. How do different approaches to the sonnet form signal different thematic concerns? 2. Identify any two poets from Module 2 whose work interests you and who lived and wrote in roughly the same time and place. (The biographies at the end of the “Poetry” section in the textbook might be a helpful place to start.)
Sonnets written during the Renaissance.
Then do a bit of research. Did your two poets have similar backgrounds? Are they considered part of the same or competing “movements” or “schools”? Drawing on your research, write an essay in which you compare at least one poem by each poet and explore how the poems were shaped by historical and cultural context. Instructions • Fully address the prompt within 500 – 800 words. • Essays must have the proper structure. This includes an introduction paragraph, a minimum of three body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. The first page of the essay must include the page number, heading and a title in MLA format.
Sonnets written during the Renaissance.
The introduction must begin with a hook/attention grabber, proceed with general background information on the topic, and the ONE SENTENCE thesis is the LAST sentence in the introduction. • Use your own ideas and quotations from the literature to support your thesis. When using quotations, remember to introduce the quote with a signal phrase and follow each quote with an interpretation in your words (review the quote sandwich). Do not use any secondary sources. Your textbook is the only approved source. • Use MLA parenthetical citations immediately following each quotation and/or paraphrase. Please consult Chapter 34 in the textbook. https://youtu.be/w1YIOokLQeo

Literally element in Night Women 2022 Best
For this assignment we will explore literally element in Night Women by Edwidge Danticat’s. Paper details: Instructions for First “Set of Three” Stories: Critical Reads (Fiction): Summary overview, Literary elements/devices, and Interpretation/Reflection What Is a Critical Read, Summary, Interpretation/Reflection?
Literally element in Night Women
Paper details: Instructions for First “Set of Three” Stories: Critical Reads (Fiction): Summary overview, Literary elements/devices, and Interpretation/Reflection What Is a Critical Read, Summary, Interpretation/Reflection? The two “Critical Reads” Assignments are “application” opportunities in which apply your own literary insights/analysis to three (3) stories you select independently. In other words, locate three (3) compelling stories with rich literary merit that to which you also bring high interest/close reading. Each Critical Read will consist of three sections:
Literally element in Night Women
In the first section, clarify the setting and plot of the story and describe the roles and character traits of the major character(s) within the story. Keep in mind that “setting” involves more than place and time – it also invites historical, social, cultural, and economic contexts; with your summary of the story’s plot (or if non-linear, the circumstances), let the reader know significant plot points, follows a version of the Freytag Pyramid, or seems to have a “turn.” In the second section, address the “literary craft” of the story. Provide key theme(s) or a motif; ask what broader social issue (i.e. an issue of importance in the real world, outside the realm of the story).

Then, identify three (3) literary elements/devices with “textual evidence” as your examples. Nota bene: There’s seldom one right or wrong approach in analyzing literary themes. Look for evidence of what you consider a key social issue; cite a brief example of textual evidence to back up your analysis. In the third section, reflect on your takeaways. You may use the first person pronoun “I” as you write this section. In reflecting on the “so what?” the reader may consider the “lenses” through which writers/authors explore social issues that underlie the story, including authorial statement(s) on class, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, political/social power, economic disparities, etc.

Consider as well that artists, poets, novelists, dramatists, etc. invite the reader to apply what C. Wright Mills calls the sociological imagination. Each Critical Read should be three (3) paragraphs in length but, as needed, you may write more. To recap, this “First Set” consists of three (3) independently read selections of short stories (fiction). By the end-of-term, you will have read six (6) literary selections independently for your Critical Reads — 3 for the First Set, and 3 for the Second Set. (The second CR set will be on poetry, a play, &/or non-fiction – date TBA).
Literally element in Night Women
The first set of Critical Reads is DUE Oct. 3 and requires that you select stories that have not been discussed/assigned to read in class during the first Unit of our course. Your readings will give you the opportunity to apply textual analyses you’ve practiced in the course Discussions. Please email me in D2L by 9/29 which stories you select (no “short shorts,” compressed/brief fables or tales). How Will Your Critical Reads Be Graded? These Critical Summaries will be graded based on their thoughtful development of literary analysis, incorporation of textual support, and inclusion of literary elements of craft (literary devices, style, etc.). https://youtu.be/oiBX-dmhq_8

Even though the structure of the Critical Reads calls for a min. of three (3) paragraphs only, it is expected that your Critical Summaries sections will be substantive. If you need to write added paragraphs to address one of the sections, you may do so. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and mechanics WILL significantly affect your grade, so make sure to carefully proofread and edit your work. Thus, I require that you submit your DRAFTS to a virtual Writing Center consultant for feedback and review before submitting your work. You may not use ANY sources beyond the stories themselves for these summaries.
Literally element in Night Women
Instead, the purpose of these summaries is to help you develop your own understanding of the literary texts covered within this course. As part of the submission process, these submissions will be checked for any potential use of sources (using an integrated tool powered by Turnitin). If you are found to have used sources, this will constitute plagiarism and will result in failure of the course. IMP: Prior to submitting to Assignments, each set of Critical Reads MUST be edited and proofed ruthlessly. I recommend that you make an Appt. with a Writing Consultant for feedback/review in BC’s Writing Center (WC).
