Discussion 1- Fiction Literature

(1) Post at least one substantive response, of at least 100 words, to each of the study questions in the threads listed here. A substantive response is a knowledgeable, thoughtful, creative contribution to the understanding of narrative theory and textual interpretation. It should demonstrate good reading comprehension of the assigned critical theory and work of fiction. It should also engage in dialog with previous comments. Therefore, before responding to the study questions read through any highlighted sections from prior student posts as well as any follow up posts from the instructor. If the study question has already been answered satisfactorily, students should address one of the instructor\’s follow up questions instead. The objective is to keep the conversation moving and avoid repetitive answers. Ideally, each comment should add something new to the conversation. Responses should be supported with direct, specific references to the assigned texts. Quotation (with parenthetical page citation) is encouraged and will be useful prep for the interpretive essays.

(2) In addition to the primary posts on each question, you must also respond within one class day to instructor requests for clarification or elaboration, if asked by name to do so. In general, my feedback on discussion posts will be directed at all students, regardless of who made the original post. However, if I address you directly with a question or directive, I expect a timely response. Make sure to check back regularly for both general and individual feedback. Subscribing and turning on notifications for the discussion forums can help you keep track of responses to your posts.

(3) Further, you must also provide a secondary response of at least 50 words for each question addressing the post of another student. This secondary post can respectfully agree or disagree with previous comments as long as a clear rationale is provided; it can also supplement them with additional textual evidence.

The requirement to respond to my feedback and other students\’ posts means that you will need to visit each thread at least twice. You will likely want to return to these threads at the end of the semester as well in order to prepare for the final exam. Pay close attention to my feedback on ALL posts because I may be making important corrections or clarifications as well as highlighting particularly strong answers. In the interests of keeping the discussion streamlined I am only going to respond to any particular issue the first time it arises rather than every time. Therefore, do not assume that ia post without an specific reply has no feedback; it may be that the relevant feedback was already given on a prior post. Within the threads, a selection of strong, convincing statements will be highlighted in blue; a selection of potentially problematic or controversial statements will be highlighted in red for further consideration.

I will upload the reading material and the questions to be answer, please follow the instructions as indicated

Thanks.

Rhetorical Analysis of Target Genre

tHIS IS PAST DUE WORK , CAN YOU PLEASE FINISH THE WORK ASAP, THANKS A LOT.

Purpose:
Last unit and this unit, we are seeking to understand our disciplines better through analysis of their interpretive frames, or lens. These interpretive frames, as we noted, can be theoretical approaches (cognitivism, social construction) or research methodologies (quantitative, qualitative) or even genres (case study, research report, literature review).

Thus, theoretical approaches, methodologies, and genres are all ways of \”framing\” an issue or a topic. Each discipline has its preferred theories, methods, and genres that tell us something about the kind of information and presentation are valued.

The goal of this writing assignment is to learn more about writing in our discipline through examining its genres and to select a genre for our final projects.

Process/Product:
To gather information for this writing assignment, you will:
Locate and closely review three examples of your genre and compile a bibliography (following the documentation system of your discipline) to append to your analysis paper. Attempt to locate instructional materials, templates, and other literature about the genre.

Save the following document and answer the genre analysis questions within. You will include this document with your analysis paper. Click here to download the Genre Analysis QuestionsPreview the documentView in a new window.

Compose an analytical paper of 3-4 pages that synthesizes your answers to the questions–your paper should synthesize your findings in each of the categories and include concrete details to illustrate your findings.

Assessment:

I will examine the following elements of your finished project to assign a letter grade.
Comprehensiveness: Refers to your careful, thoughtful responses to the genre analysis questions and your ability to synthesize your findings into a coherent \”portrait\” of the genre.

Evidence: Refers to the extent to which you use concrete examples from your genre analysis to support your assertions about the genre.

Analysis: Refers to the clarity, sophistication, and persuasiveness of your analysis of how the genre shapes the reading and writing experience.

Grammar & Readability: Refers to the extent to which your writing conforms to standards of grammar and correctness (i.e. your prose needs to be free from grammatical errors and written in a style that is conversational, yet serious enough for an academic audience).

Documentation: Refers to the accuracy of your in-text and end-text documentation of your outside sources, which will be, at minimum the three genre examples that will serve as your primary evidence.

Describing and analyzing any rhetorical devices used.

The first paper assignment will be a rhetorical analysis of a particular speech or oral presentation or monologue. I want you to read it thoroughly a few times or listen to it so you understand what ideas the author is trying to convey. Then I want you to write a five page, double spaced paper wherein you tell me the main ideas the speaker is trying to argue and what rhetorical devices the speaker uses; the context the speech was given within; the general setting and the audience; and any other relevant points about the message the orator is trying to get across. If you choose a monologue from a play or another bit of fiction, please explain the context the monologue is given in as part of the plot and setting of the play in addition to describing and analyzing any rhetorical devices used.

Please make sure the paper is five pages, double spaced and that you use a twelve-point-font.
