(Images included in the timeline do not count toward this requirement.) • Relevance: Describe how the topic is relevant to cataloging and to school libraries.

compare and contrast the book and movie of The Hunger Games in an academic paper.

1102 Hunger Games Paper Your assignment is to compare and contrast the book and movie of The Hunger Games in an academic paper of approximately 500 words (about two double-spaced typed pages.) A comparison and contrast paper can be structured in one of two ways: 1. You identify all the similarities between the two and then identify all the ways they are different. 2. You identify several different criteria for your comparison/contrast, and then for each of those criteria you show the ways in which they are similar or different. For example, you might believe that the plot, characterization and theme are very similar in both books, while the differences are confined to small items such as individual scenes or characters. Using strategy one, you’d construct a thesis statement that indicates that point, then have two main “chunks” to your paper – chunk one provides specific evidence to support your similarities, and chunk two provides specific evidence to support the differences. If you choose strategy two, you would state in your introduction that there are elements of character, plot, and theme that are both similar and different. Then you would write one “chunk” about how the characters in the book resemble or differ from those in the movie. Repeat the process for the next two chunks. You should have an introduction which uses one of the following academic strategies: • Begin with a quotation • Begin with a statement recognizing an opinion or approach different from the one you plan to take in your essay (for example, “Though most people might believe X, I hope to prove Y”). • Begin with a paradox, a seeming self-contradiction. • Begin with a short anecdote or narrative • Begin with an interesting fact or statistic • Begin with a question or several questions that will be answered in the paper • Begin with relevant background material • Begin with an analogy • Begin with a definition of a term that is important to your essay Remember to use transition sentences or phrases to move to your next point, and so on. Some examples of transitions are: • Addition: (also, again, as well as, besides, coupled with, furthermore, in addition, likewise, moreover, similarly) • Consequence: (accordingly, as a result, consequently, for this reason, for this purpose, otherwise, so then, subsequently, therefore, thus, thereupon, wherefore) • Contrast and Comparison: (by the same token, conversely, instead, likewise, on one hand, on the other hand, on the contrary, rather, similarly, yet, but, however, still, nevertheless, in contrast) • Direction: (here, there, over there, beyond, nearly, opposite, under, above, to the left, to the right, in the distance) • Emphasis: (above all, chiefly, with attention to, especially, particularly, singularly) • Exception: (aside from, barring, beside, except, excepting, excluding, exclusive of, other than, outside of) • Using Examples: (chiefly, especially, for instance, in particular, markedly, namely, particularly, including, specifically, such as, for example, for instance, for one thing, as an illustration, in this case) • Generalizing: (as a rule, as usual, for the most part, generally, generally speaking, ordinarily, usually) • Similarity: (comparatively, coupled with, correspondingly, identically, likewise, similar, moreover, together with) • Restatement: (in essence, in other words, namely, that is, that is to say, in short, in brief, to put it differently) • Sequence: (at first, first of all, to begin with, in the first place, at the same time, for now, for the time being, the next step, in time, in turn, later on, meanwhile, next, then, soon, the meantime, later, while, earlier, simultaneously, afterward) • Summarizing: (after all, in conclusion, on the whole, in short, in summary, in the final analysis, in the long run, on balance, to sum up, to summarize, finally) Be sure to wrap up your paper with a conclusion which provides a summary of your major points (thus reinforcing them in your audience’s memory). • A conclusion provides a sense of closure (the essay feels as though it is finished). A reference to something from the Introduction often provides this sense of closure, giving a sense of things coming full circle. • A conclusion can also provide a “discovery” for the reader by making explicit some idea that has been implicit throughout the essay. This discovery should never be a completely new idea, for ending with a new topic prevents the sense of closure and makes the essay seem incomplete. • For every Introduction strategy, there is a corresponding Conclusion strategy. For instance, if you begin with a quotation, your Conclusion might refer back to that quotation, or might include another quotation by the same writer. • If you began with a paradox, your Conclusion might refer back to that paradox. You must use at least one reference source with MLA style citation. Your citation can come from the Hunger Games book, from online sources, or from reference books. The South Campus library’s website (http://libguides.broward.edu/southcampuslibrary) can help you find appropriate materials. Be sure to double-space your Works Cited list, put your citations in alphabetical order, and use a hanging indent on each citation. You will be graded on the following criteria: • your ideas • your ability to write clear, grammatical English sentences • your use of proper MLA style citation technique, including both in-text citation and in your Works Cited list • the presentation of your paper according to commonly accepted standards (double spaced, each paragraph indented by a half inch, a consistent font use throughout, and no extra lines between paragraphs.). Major examples like point of view, 1st person point of view and 3rd person point of view, symbolism, and small example such as the absence of the character made and where the pin was derived from.

Analyze “’The Story of an Hour’.

Your second major assignment is an essay responding to any one (or two) of the short stories we discussed in this Unit. You may also choose to compare/contrast two stories that have been paired together under the same sub-heading. The focus in either choice must be narrow and specific, which you slowly uncover in the body of your essay. (Choosing a wide or general theme is not a good idea, because it forces you to state the obvious.) Your paper must have a clear thesis stated early, evidence and reasoning to support it throughout the body of the essay, and an analysis of the significance of this reading to an understanding of the story. Evidence must include quotes and paraphrasing from the story with page numbers noted in MLA style. Include a Works Cited page, listing your secondary and primary source, the story, in MLA style. Method: Your essay is an analysis of the story that explores a unique point of view. You are arguing about a specific idea that the reader may not have thought of and urging the reader to understand and agree with you. This is why, focusing on a smaller topic will be helpful. For example, a poor thesis will state: “’The Story of an Hour’ is about a wife who rejoices her husband’s death.” As opposed to a good thesis that will state: “’The Story of an Hour’ is a psychological journey into the mind of a woman burdened by patriarchy and her ultimate and tragic demise with the realization that she will have to live within its traditions.” For more information, use the handout for “How to Write a Thesis.” A good analysis concentrates on details: you should quote portions of the story to show how the text supports your thesis. Then you should offer comments and analysis that show how the portion you’re interpreting contributes to the work as a whole. As a general rule, “say more about less”: limit your focus to a small enough topic so that you can cover it in detail in this brief paper. Follow this format for the forum on Peer Review: 1) Introduction/Thesis Statement 2) Bullet points of paragraphs that follow with at least one sample quote using MLA format. Your essays will be graded on the following factors: A strong thesis statement with an essay that explores the thesis in its entirety Grammar and MLA formatting Quotes from your primary text and your secondary scholarly sources Length (4-5 pages)

How does Eck define pluralism?

INSTRUCTIONS In you readings and in class lectures we have seen how “religion” has be used to as part of the status quo, as resistance, or in revolutions. Further, we have seen “religion” as something that needed to be classified and categorized (and therefore became known as “world religions”). The creation of these categories can be seen as an attempt to depart from thinking about the world from a European perspective. This idea of world religions, which acknowledges multiple traditions and therefore diversity in the world, relates to the idea of religious pluralism as we know it in America. Religious pluralism is the understanding that multiple, “authentic” religions can exist peacefully in a society — where all voices are allowed to be heard (as Eck would say). Or are they? • For your paper, you will first read Diana Eck’s “What is Pluralism?” and “From Diversity to Pluralism,” which can be found here: http://pluralism.org/pluralism/what_is_pluralism and http://pluralism.org/encounter/challenges. While reading, have these questions in mind: • How does Eck define pluralism? • Who is allowed to speak in the “public square”? • What kinds of characteristics must these religions possess? • Next, you will read pp. 158-166 of Russell McCutcheon’s “Our ‘Special Promise’ as Teachers: Scholars of Religion and the Politics of Tolerance” on the course Blackboard site. While reading, have these questions in mind: • How does McCutcheon understand pluralism? • What are McCutcheon’s critiques of Eck’s notion of pluralism? • What characteristics must these groups have, according to McCutcheon, to be included in Eck’s Pluralism Project? First Component of the Assignment: • In a 1100-1400-word essay, you will address a two-part prompt: • First, you must demonstrate that you have read the two assigned readings (Eck and McCutcheon) by answering the following: • How does each author understand pluralism? • What kinds of characteristics must these religions possess in order to be included in a pluralistic society? (Your answer to this question must be from each scholar’s perspective—Eck’s answers will be more straightforward, but you will have to think about what McCutcheon is saying in order to answer from his perspective.) • What are McCutcheon’s critiques of Eck’s idea of pluralism? What are his reasons for them? • Second, you must choose one of the following groups of readings/videos to use as an example of an American social group (a “religion”) that stands in a liminal space between the “mainstream” and the “extreme.” • Group 1: the Army of God, a Christian ant i-abortion group o Read: Paul Hill’s 1997 letter to The White Rose Banquet (http://www.christiangallery.com/hill3.html) o Watch: Soldiers in the Army of God HBO documentary (www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgX3cQH0G1U&list=PL82ADED0C3A4F58B4) o Read: Justin C. Altum’s “Anti-Abortion Extremism: The Army of God” (http://chrestomathy.cofc.edu/documents/vol2/altum.pdf) • Group 2: Lev Tahor, a small community of Jews that shun modernity o Read: Ami Magazine’s editor Rabbi Frankfurter’s article on Lev Tahor, interview with an American professor in support of Lev Tahor, and an interview with the group’s spokesman, Ariel Yosef Goldman [pp. 162–171, 173–175, 180–187] (https://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/217397426?access_key=key-nj1bqztl6q21g3662wk) o Watch: Canadian news show 16×9’s documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvHedNL6isQ) o Read: Stories about the group found under the “more coverage” tab. (http://www.lfpress.com/2013/11/22/court-summons-issued-over-allegations-of-child-abuse) • Group 3: Park51, an Islamic community center near the site of the World Trade Center in New York o Read: New York Times article about Park51 from December 8, 2009 (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/09/nyregion/09mosque.html?pagewanted=all) o Watch: PBS documentary about Park51 and Sharif El-Gamal, the realtor who purchased the building (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/man-behind-mosque/) o Read: Frontline interview with Pamela Geller, an outspoken opponent of Park51 (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/pamela-geller-this-is-a-clash-of-civilizations/) • Group 4: The Satanic Temple, a group interested in placing a statue of Baphomet in front of an Oklahoma state courthouse o Read: a VICE interview with Lucien Greaves, the spokesperson of The Satanic Temple (http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/unmasking-lucien-greaves-aka-doug-mesner-leader-of-the- satanic-temp le) o Watch: a HuffPost Live debate between Lucien Greaves, Brady Henderson, an ACLU director, and Paul Wesselhoft, an Oklahoma state representative (http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/satanic-temp le-okla homa- statehouse/536199e602a76096f500058b) o Read: an opposing article by Bryan Fischer, a writer for the American Family Association (http://www.afa.net/the-stand/government/under-founders-constitution-we-dont-have-to-put- up-wit h-satanic-displays/) • After you have read and watched the material, you will answer the following questions in your essay (you must provide examples from the texts and the documentary): o How does the group self-identify? What words do they use to talk about themselves? What classifications (i.e., words, labels, etc.) do outsiders use for the group? o Think about each of these categories, both the self-determined ones and those labels that are used by other, more dominant groups. What functions do these labels serve? o How has the group “constructed” itself? In other words, if people are the products of their concepts and practices, what concepts and practices does the group have? What function do these concepts and practices serve? o Thinking about the first part of the essay, does the group fit into Eck’s understanding of pluralism? Would they be allowed to “speak at the table”? Why or why not? What might McCutcheon say about such a group’s place in a pluralist society like America? ** This is not an “opinion” paper. I do not want you to tell me if these groups are good/bad/right/wrong. Doing so will earn you a failing grade. I want is an analysis of the readings and the particular group that you choose. As this is not an opinion paper, you must use the sources that are assigned for the reading. Lack of sources will result in a failing grade. Second Component of the Assignment: • In a 400-600-word letter, you will write to Diana Eck as if you were a member of the group that you choose for your essay [you can make up a persona or pretend you are someone that you watched/read about]. In this short letter, address the following: • Format this into a normal letter (with a greeting and closing). Identify and describe the group you represent. • What commitments does your group hold? [Since Eck says that groups’ “commitments are not checked at the door,” you need to identify what is important to your group.] • Is your group’s ideology compatible with her definition of “American pluralism”? o If yes, tell her how you think your group fits into a pluralist society. o If no, tell her why your group should be included in this society. o If your group would not even want to participate in this society, tell her why. • Lastly, from your perspective as a somewhat-marginalized group, is her depiction of the United States being a religiously pluralist nation correct? Why or why not? ** This is the creative part of the assignment. The more imaginative you are, the better. However, this does not mean you can make up any kind of nonsense you want—your letter must address issues that you learned from the sources for your particular group, but do not worry about citing them. HOW WILL MY PAPER/LETTER BE GRADED? 1. Thesis and Argument. Does the paper have a point? In other words, does the paper have a central idea, and do you make a compelling argument in support of that idea? 2. Use of Evidence. Does the paper refer to important ideas from class and from the readings when necessary? Does the paper rely too heavily on extensive quotations? Do you cite your sources properly? 3. Originality/Analysis of Texts. Does the paper show original thought? Is it clear that you thought carefully about the material? Does the paper contain a careful analysis of the readings? 4. Grammar, Style, and Structure. Is the paper well written? Does it have grammatical mistakes, misspelled words, or errors in punctuation? Is it properly structured? Do you state the thesis clearly at the beginning of the paper? Is the paper appropriately divided into paragraphs, each of which makes an identifiable point? Is there an appropriate conclusion at the end of the essay? Does the paper meet the word-length
