From your experience, does language used in certain situations indicate how intelligent you are?

In this class, we have discussed how language can affect not only your reading and writing experience, but society as well.

Should someone change the way they communicate in different social settings? If so, how? Is there one way to communicate regardless of the situation? As well, you will use Toni Cade Bambara’s “The Lesson” as a point of comparison, using quotes and paraphrases to better illustrate your points

ANIMAL PAPER- MUST KNOW PSYCHOLOGY-ANIMAL BEHAVIOR

Scientists are finding new species every year. While some of them live in remote environments, others have been found in large urban cities. While you can’t travel to faraway lands in the hopes of finding a new species, you can use what you have learned this semester to create a new species of your own. For this assignment, you will create your own animal and demonstrate your understanding of the following concepts: the animal’s basic needs (e.g., what does this animal eat, what does it need in its habitat), adaptations that help it survive and reproduce in its environment (e.g., physical traits and behavioral traits, mating behaviors/systems), how it interacts with the world around it (e.g. cooperation, communication), and examples of when it is a predator and when it is prey. As part of your paper, you should include a written description as well as a drawing

MIDTERM PAPER BASED ON COMPARING AND CONTRASTING TWO GOTHIC STORIES

This essay asks students to compare between two and four characters. Students should compare characters from two stories that we have read so far. Select from the following list: The Lottery -Jackson The Black Cat -Poe Young Goodman Brown -Hawthorne The Yellow Wallpaper -Gilman A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings -Marquez An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge Bierce A Rose for Emily -Faulkner Prologue to Invisible Man -Ellison A Hunger Artist -Kafka By this point, there is no question that these texts are gothic, so lets focus on what the characters teach us about gothic limits, violence, death, and a return to normalcy. Do some characters reveal what we should do and some reveal what we should not do? More specifically, this essay asks students to compare and contrast between two and four characters in order to address some (not all) of these key ideas: Allan Lloyd-Smith encourages readers to ask about the Puritan inheritance, fear of democracy, and fear of overturning race, gender, and sexuality codes. How do characters react when faced with these issues? Lloyd-Smith ultimately believes that the Gothic explores chaos and wrongdoing in a movement toward the ultimate restitution of order and convention the Central Gothic Irony (5). Do the characters you write about desire normalcy or fight against it? Do events or scenes in the story fall under the definition of Todorovs three terms: uncanny, fantastic, or marvelous? Do the characters seem to follow the Spirit of Perverseness? How does the stories narration style alter reader sympathy or understanding? What does the focal distance or internal/external narration do to readers understanding? Do the actions/emotions of the character lead readers to consider redemption or how they provide an allegory for our present world? Essay Details:1. Make sure to begin with a strong thesis that you support by using evidence from the text. Also, use direct quotations from the original text.2. Write using clear paragraphs that contain declarative topic sentences.3. Minimum 900 words.4. You should not use outside sources use notes from our class and handouts such as my handout on gothic definitions–plus the handouts on Todorov and Lloyd-Smiths chapter. [I will not accept papers that use outside sources]5. If you have questions about Modern Language Association (MLA) format, writing a thesis, paragraph structure, conclusions, or citations, please study the Purdue OWL website that is on our Open Lab course page. If you still have questions after trying to answer questions on your own, then ask me.6. Above all: choose characters and stories that interest you. Grading Rubric: 1. First Page: A clear introduction, title, thesis, and method (25 points) 2. Formal Writing: Concrete nouns, well-structured sentences, and clear paragraphs (25 points) 3.
