358:206​ ​Women​ ​and​ ​Modernity Short​ ​Paper​ ​Writing​ ​Assignment In​ ​the​ ​past​ ​few​ ​weeks,​ ​we​ ​have​ ​discussed​ ​the​ ​major​ ​elements​ ​of​ ​modernism​ ​as​ ​a​ ​response​ ​to​ ​and reflection​ ​of​ ​a​ ​rapidly​ ​changing​ ​society.​ ​From​ ​the​ ​British​ ​tradition,​ ​we​ ​have​ ​read​ ​Virginia Woolf’s​ ​​Jacob’s​ ​Room​,​ ​an​ ​example​ ​of​ ​high-modernism,​ ​or​ ​the​ ​most​ ​abstract​ ​and​ ​experimental form​ ​of​ ​modernist​ ​writing.​ ​We​ ​have​ ​also​ ​discussed​ ​Woolf’s​ ​feminist​ ​writing,​ ​focusing​ ​on​ ​her understanding​ ​of​ ​women’s​ ​changing​ ​roles​ ​in​ ​political​ ​and​ ​artistic​ ​life.​ ​Using​ ​your​ ​knowledge​ ​of the​ ​class​ ​materials​ ​and​ ​discussions,​ ​write​ ​an​ ​analytical​ ​essay​ ​in​ ​which​ ​you​ ​comment​ ​on​ ​one technical​ ​element​ ​of​ ​Woolf’s​ ​prose​ ​style​ ​(listed​ ​below;​ ​using​ ​several​ ​examples​ ​from​ ​the​ ​novel) and​ ​connect​ ​it​ ​to​ ​an​ ​interpretation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​novel.​ ​Some​ ​questions​ ​you​ ​might​ ​ask​ ​yourself:​ ​What​ ​is the​ ​impact​ ​of​ ​using​ ​this​ ​style?​ ​How​ ​does​ ​it​ ​affect​ ​the​ ​major​ ​themes​ ​of​ ​the​ ​novel?​ ​What​ ​is​ ​your interpretation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​reading? Elements​ ​include:

- Character - Voice​ ​(narrator) - Focalization - Abstraction - Metaphors​ ​or​ ​symbolism - Chronology​ ​(plot​ ​v.​ ​story)

Due​ ​at​ ​the​ ​beginning​ ​of​ ​class​ ​on​ ​​Tuesday,​ ​November​ ​21​.​ ​Responses​ ​should​ ​be​ ​3-4​ ​pages,​ ​typed, double-spaced,​ ​in​ ​Times​ ​New​ ​Roman​ ​12​ ​point​ ​font,​ ​and​ ​with​ ​one-inch​ ​margins.​ ​See​ ​syllabus​ ​for our​ ​late​ ​paper​ ​policy. You​ ​should​ ​follow​ ​the​ ​conventions​ ​of​ ​an​ ​academic​ ​paper​ ​in​ ​both​ ​organization​ ​and​ ​tone.​ ​The​ ​tone of​ ​your​ ​paper​ ​(word​ ​choice,​ ​syntax,​ ​punctuation,​ ​general​ ​style)​ ​should​ ​be​ ​appropriate​ ​for​ ​an academic​ ​setting.​ ​Your​ ​paper​ ​should​ ​contain​ ​an​ ​introductory​ ​paragraph​ ​with​ ​a​ ​thesis​ ​statement​ ​at the​ ​end,​ ​body​ ​paragraphs​ ​containing​ ​topic​ ​sentences​ ​and​ ​evidence​ ​in​ ​support​ ​of​ ​claim,​ ​logical transitions​ ​between​ ​paragraphs,​ ​and​ ​a​ ​concluding​ ​paragraph​ ​that​ ​states​ ​the​ ​broader​ ​implications of​ ​your​ ​argument​ ​(do​ ​not​ ​use​ ​“In​ ​conclusion”).​ ​Your​ ​“evidence”​ ​will​ ​likely​ ​be​ ​significant quotations,​ ​details,​ ​patterns,​ ​or​ ​passages​ ​from​ ​the​ ​text,​ ​cited​ ​appropriately​ ​(using​ ​page​ ​numbers for​ ​all​ ​evidence​ ​used).​ ​Use​ ​quotation​ ​marks​ ​to​ ​denote​ ​ANY​ ​writing​ ​that​ ​is​ ​not​ ​your​ ​own.​ ​You will​ ​only​ ​be​ ​working​ ​with​ ​the​ ​novel​ ​for​ ​this​ ​paper.​ ​You​ ​may​ ​not​ ​quote​ ​word​ ​for​ ​word​ ​from​ ​the study​ ​materials​ ​provided​ ​to​ ​you​ ​or​ ​any​ ​other​ ​sources.​ ​All​ ​information​ ​must​ ​be​ ​in​ ​your​ ​own words,​ ​unless​ ​it​ ​is​ ​a​ ​direct​ ​quote​ ​from​ ​the​ ​text. Six ​ ​Requests:   

1. Provide ​ ​a ​ ​thematically ​ ​rich​ ​thesis ​ ​statement.​ ​Usually,​ ​your​ ​thesis​ ​will​ ​be​ ​the​ ​last​ ​sentence  or ​ ​two​ ​of ​ ​your​ ​introductory ​ ​paragraph.    

2. Work ​ ​on ​ ​developing ​ ​strong ​ ​topic​ ​sentences​ ​that​ ​explicitly​ ​articulate​ ​the​ ​claim​ ​or​ ​insight  of ​ ​a ​ ​particular ​ ​paragraph​ ​and​ ​serve​ ​as​ ​supporting​ ​parts​ ​or​ ​stages​ ​of​ ​your​ ​overall​ ​argument. 

  3. Quote ​ ​from ​ ​the ​ ​text.​ ​Your​ ​essays​ ​need​ ​to​ ​provide​ ​examples​ ​demonstrating​ ​your​ ​points. 

They ​ ​also ​ ​need​ ​to​ ​be​ ​enlivened ​ ​by​ ​drawing​ ​your​ ​readers​ ​into​ ​the​ ​stories​ ​you​ ​have​ ​to​ ​tell  about ​ ​the ​ ​works ​ ​of ​ ​fiction.   

4. Reread. ​ ​And ​ ​reread ​ ​again. ​ ​At​ ​least​ ​sixty​ ​percent​ ​of​ ​the​ ​time​ ​you​ ​devote​ ​to​ ​this​ ​essay  should​ ​be ​ ​spent ​ ​re-reading ​ ​the ​ ​text.​ ​Keep​ ​asking​ ​yourself​ ​“what​ ​else?”​ ​and​ ​“where​ ​else?”  Try ​ ​to​ ​get ​ ​as ​ ​rich ​ ​and ​ ​inclusive​ ​interpretation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​stories​ ​as​ ​possible.​ ​Don’t​ ​settle​ ​for​ ​a  single​ ​telling​ ​quotation,​ ​but​ ​find ​ ​others​ ​that​ ​are​ ​like​ ​it​ ​that​ ​can​ ​be​ ​used​ ​for​ ​elaboration,  clarification,​ ​and ​ ​qualification.  

  5. Search​ ​for ​ ​the​ ​nuances. ​ ​Your ​ ​responses​ ​should​ ​not​ ​fall​ ​into​ ​either/or​ ​categorizations,​ ​but 

rather​ ​should ​ ​focus ​ ​on ​ ​subtle​ ​differences​ ​or​ ​surprising​ ​similarities.​ ​I​ ​would​ ​be​ ​as​ ​happy​ ​to  see ​ ​you ​ ​open ​ ​up ​ ​a​ ​problem ​ ​that ​ ​cannot​ ​be​ ​solved​ ​as​ ​to​ ​settle​ ​conclusively​ ​on​ ​an  interpretation​ ​that ​ ​fails​ ​to​ ​admit ​ ​of ​ ​its ​ ​limits. 

  6. Bring​ ​some ​ ​energy ​ ​to ​ ​your ​ ​writing.​ ​Tell​ ​a ​ ​good​ ​story,​ ​back​ ​it​ ​up​ ​with​ ​evidence​ ​from ​ ​the 

text, ​ ​and ​ ​don’t ​ ​assume ​ ​that​ ​there ​ ​is​ ​a ​ ​right​ ​answer​ ​to​ ​any​ ​of​ ​it.​ ​Show​ ​your​ ​thought​ ​and  provide ​ ​evidence ​ ​for​ ​it.
