Hello. Class is cancelled today. For Wedensday:
* Finish A Streetcar Named Desire, if you haven't already.
* Come up with the thesis of your paper. Remember, the general assignment is a compare/contrast paper of the characters Blanche and Stanley. Of course, as we discussed in class Thursday, you will want to narrow that question down to one topic or idea. For example "How does Tennessee Williams use stage directions (the non-verbal instructions that accompany the play's spoken aspects) to develop the characters Stanley and Blanche?" or "How does alcohol function in the play's characterizations of Blanche and Stanley" - etc. Your thesis is the answer to this question. Be creative!!! Here are tips on thesis development:
* Complete an outline of at least 300 words that includes the thesis, the topic sentences of at least four body paragraphs and at least two pieces of supporting evidence for each topic sentence. Try to identify some of the quotes from the play you will be using. Here's a great web resource for outlining compare/contrast essays. Remember, you can use bullet points or numbering systems to outline: There's no "correct" method as far as I am concerned. Also, other than the thesis - which MUST be a complete sentence, there is no need to write complete sentences for any other material at this point. This is an opportunity to "think on paper" and to see the design of your paper emerge before your eyes!
* Post your working thesis as a comment to this blog as soon as you have it!
