American Literature
Paper instructions:
There are 9 questions that I would need answered that are based off a list literature that I can provide:
1.Choose two characters studied this semester. Do they have similar problems? Look beyond the specific details of their circumstances in order to find the essential common dilemma they face. For example, explain what common issue confronts both Sylvia in ìA White Heronî and Carrie in Sister Carrie.
2.According to Baym, Naturalism is a version of Realism. While Realists wrote about ìhuman beings definedÖ within recognizable settingsî, Naturalists wrote about ìhuman life as it was shaped by forces 2beyond human controlî (10). Select a short story that best illustrates the difference between Realism and Naturalism. Explain how and support your argument.
3.Choose one: ìA White Heronî, ìTo Build a Fireî, ìThe Open Boatî, ìDesert Placesî, ìAnecdote of the Jarî or ìIf we must dieî. Explain the role nature plays for the narrator or speaker in the text. For example, is Nature treating literally or figuratively? Explain and support your position.
4.Dave, Desiree and Sylvia are just a few of the characters studied this semester who have developed original or unusual ways to face their struggles; in these and other cases, their decision-making processes were impacted by their outside worlds. Select two characters and explain how their outside worlds influenced them to make their final decisions. In particular, argue whether those outside forces encourage the reader to be more or less judgmental about these characters.
5.In ìSong of Myselfî, the speaker has a powerful connection with and understanding of Nature. Discuss the main character in one of the texts studied this semester who best illustrates the relationship with Nature described in Whitmanís poem. ìA White Heronî, ìThe Open Boatî and ìTo Build a Fireî are some examples of texts to consider.
6.In Baymís essay on American versions of Modernism, she states ìA typical modernist work may seem to Ö advance without explanation Ö end without resolution Ö. [to] suggest rather than assert [and make] use of symbols and images rather than statementsî (664). How does Frostís work from ìStopping By Woods on a Snowy Eveningî and ìDesert Placesî or Stevensí ìThe Snow Manî use this method to portray, diagnose or critique the individual and the world around him/her?
