Impact of digital vs text – make a good argument

Impact of digital vs text – make a good argument

Order Description

Introduction:
In class, we read and discussed the poem, “My Papa’s Waltz,” by Theodore Roethke. We practiced close reading and considered alternate and conflicting interpretations

of the poem. For homework, you read “Daddy” by Sylvia Plath and were encouraged to “Google” the poem. Afterwards in class we talked about how what you read on the

internet impacted your understanding of the poem’s theme. We finished this unit by analyzing the short story, “Happy Endings” by Margaret Atwood. While all of these

texts had to do with home and family relationships, we didn’t read them alone; rather we read them alongside – and inside – the internet.You may have written literary

analyses in the past. You may or may not have been allowed to use internet sources. For this assignment, I’m actually encouraging you to consider the impact of

“Google” on how we read and understand a text. For this essay, select two of the texts that we have read so far this semester (“My Papa’s Waltz,” “Daddy,” “Where

Children Live,” and/or “Happy Endings”) and use them to support an argument about reading literature in the digital age.

Your essay should have a strong central claim that is clearly presented in your introductory paragraph. It should be a debatable point that you can prove in the body

of your paper using textual evidence from the poem or short story.

Remember that your goal in a literary analysis is not to summarize the text or to explain what is obvious, but rather to provide a new insight or a new perspective on

the significance of the literary work. In order to achieve this, you will need to interpret each quotation in your essay thoroughly, dissecting the style and meaning

of every word. Refer to the sections in your textbook: “How to Read Poetry” and “How to Read Short Fiction” for help with the appropriate language and terminology for

your analysis. Also refer to your journal entries and in-class writings on this topic.Requirements:
You must have a clearly articulated central claim.
Support your claim with details from the assigned readings.
Minimum 3-4 pages in length.
Cite all sources using MLA format in-text citations.
Include a Works Cited page.
MLA format.
