Friendship
is one of the most fundamental human relationships, shaping our
experiences and personal growth in profound ways. In Mari LaRoche’s
“Secrets and Gold”, the theme of friendship is central to the narrative,
providing insights into the complexities and nuances of these bonds.
For this explication paper, you will closely analyze how the author
presents and develops the concept of friendship throughout the work.
Consider the various friendships depicted, their significance in driving
the plot, and the ways in which they evolve or are tested over the
course of the story.
Some key aspects to explore could include:
The establishment and development of friendships between characters,
including the factors that bring them together or drive them apart.
The different types of friendships portrayed (e.g., childhood
friends, unlikely alliances, betrayals of trust) and how they reflect
broader societal dynamics or human experiences.
The sacrifices, loyalty, or conflicts that arise within these
friendships, and how they shape the characters’ identities or journeys.
The symbolic or metaphorical significance of friendship in the work,
and how it relates to broader themes or messages the author conveys.
The impact of social, cultural, or historical contexts on the
friendships depicted, and how they resonate with or challenge societal
norms or conventions.
Your
analysis should be supported by close reading and textual evidence from
the work, including relevant quotes, passages, or examples that
illustrate your points. Additionally, you may incorporate relevant
secondary sources or critical perspectives to strengthen your analysis
and engage with broader scholarly conversations about the work or theme,
but this is not required.
Introduce both the story and the author in an opening sentence or two. Set
the contexts for your discussion of the passage you have incorporated
either as an epigraph or a block quotation.
Remember to craft a clear and focused thesis statement that guides
your explication by the end of your opening paragraph. Your thesis tells
your reader what your argument is about. Thesis statements must contain
a subject and a predicate and be
complex enough to sustain the length of the paper. Don’t forget to
structure your paper in a logical and cohesive manner, with an
introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Develop your idea about the story. Don’t get sidetracked or introduce
a new theme. Concentrate on analyzing the passage you have selected in
order to support your argument about the story’s theme.
Do not concern yourself in this paper about the author’s life or
times, though you may want to look at words whose meanings or
connotations have changed over time.
Do not spend time summarizing the plot. Remember, summarizing the
plot is a common error of inexperienced essay writers. Limit any summary
to a single, brief sentence or two. Focus your energies on developing
your ideas (your interpretation) of the story.
Length: 1 single-spaced page long (approximately 700 words)
MLA Format: 12-point font, black text, 1” paper margins, 4-line header, Running header with page numbers, and your own unique title
Works Cited Page: Create an accurate entry for each source used in your paper.
Note: No outside research is required for
this paper, but – should you choose to include research – you must
carefully document words and ideas obtained from other sources (books,
articles, internet, dictionaries, etc.) in in-text citations and works
cited entries. Review the syllabus’s plagiarism policy to make sure that
you understand the importance of citing carefully.

Specific Purpose: To motivate my audience to perform random acts of kindness.

Satisfaction:  By performing random acts of kindness you can improve someone’s mood, improve their self-esteem, and maybe even save a life! 
Visualization:  Imagine the smile on the face of your instructor when you thank them for hosting an especially engaging class session this week.  This random act of kindness is likely to motivate them to be even stronger next week, making your class that much more enjoyable.  And, giving that compliment makes you feel good too.
Action:  With all the stress in our lives, why add to it when we can easily reduce it.  Here is a list of random acts of kindness you can do today.  Choose one, do it today, and make the world a better place.

THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL STAND IN FOR OUR MISSED READING REFLECTION + A LITTLE BIT O

THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL STAND IN FOR OUR MISSED READING REFLECTION + A LITTLE BIT OF IN-CLASS TIME!*
Objective: This assignment aims to help you critically evaluate and improve the introduction of your Rhetorical Analysis Essay by exploring different strategies for beginning an essay. You’ll analyze your existing introduction, create new versions using different strategies, and reflect on how each version impacts the reader and the direction of your essay. Keep this exercise in mind as you work on future essay introductions!
NOTE: If you’ve already written the intro for your Summary/Response Essay, you can use that instead!
Instructions:
Part 1: Assessing Your Current Introduction
Review Your Introduction: Carefully read the introduction you wrote for your Rhetorical Analysis Essay.
Identify the Strategy: Using the “How to Begin an Essay” document provided, determine which category or categories your current introduction fits into. Consider whether it uses an anecdote, a question, a quote, background information, a bold statement, or another strategy. (It can fall into more than one category!)
Write a Brief Assessment: In a paragraph, explain why you think your introduction fits into the identified category or categories. Discuss the effectiveness of this strategy in engaging the reader and setting the stage for your essay.
Part 2: Creating New Introductions
Select Two New Strategies: Choose two different strategies from the “How to Begin an Essay” document that you have not used in your original introduction.
Write Two New Introductions: Write two new versions of your essay’s introduction, each using one of the selected strategies. Ensure that each version introduces the same essay topic but uses a different approach to hook the reader and set up your argument.
Part 3: Analyzing the Differences
Compare and Contrast: Write a comparison of the three introductions (the original and the two new versions). Discuss how each introduction:
Hooks the reader differently.
Sets up the essay’s argument and context in distinct ways.
Leads the reader into a slightly different perspective or angle on the same topic.
Reflect on the Impact: Reflect on how changing the introduction strategy could affect the overall tone, focus, and effectiveness of your essay. Consider which introduction you find most compelling and why.
Submission Requirements:
Submit the original introduction with your assessment paragraph.
Submit the two new introductions, clearly labeled with the strategy used.
Submit your comparative analysis and reflection, written in essay form (approximately 2 double-spaced pages).

This paper is on any one of the following: Desmond Tutu, Tolstoy, Edmund Burke, or Basho.
PAPER #3 PROMPT:
Consider these added questions:
Desmond Tutu argues for a middle path between two extremes. What are these extremes and what is Tutu’s middle path? His solution?
Compare Desmond Tutu’s argument for a path of forgiveness with MLK’s argument for his program of non-resistance. How are these ideas similar?
Desmond Tutu’s argument follows what is known as the he Hegelian dialectic in which a thesis is measured against an antithesis. Joined together, they form a synthesis [a new idea which combines the other two]. Demonstrate how this works.
Identify Tutu’s method of writing expository prose at the beginning [identifying the problem] and his turn to the argument.
Tolstoy describes “universal art” and he goes on to try and explain what it is and why it is superior to the “perverted” art of the upper classes. Does he convince you? How, exactly, does he make his case?
Tolstoy’s essay is an indictment of the upper classes and what he considers an “elitist” point of view about art. What is this elitist notion and in what ways are they wrong for believing that art needs to be not understandable to be good.
What does Tolstoy mean by the “bread and fruit” art of his time?
Find in Tolstoy’s essay evidence that his point of view is religious. Where does this come through? Does it have anything to do with his affection for the masses, for the working class?
Edmund Burke’s The Beautiful and the Sublime is organized according to four features of the sublime, including obscurity, power, dimension, and infinity. Analyze these four parts.
Burke’s essay is an attempt to understand the “sublime” in art. What, exactly, is the sublime? Does Burke explain it well enough for you. In this essay you might go outside of Burke’s essay and look into the concept of the sublime to see who else wrote about it [Longinus, Aristotle to name a few]. Maybe start with a working definition of the concept of the “sublime” and see if Burke identifies it well enough.
Edmund Burke begins his essay by first explaining what sublimity is in nature. He then goes on to argue that it is possible to express it in art. Show how he does this.
BASHO: The NARROW ROAD OF THE INTERIOR is Basho’s STUDY IN ETERNITY and a “monument he has set up against the flow of time…” Explain this.
The following represents the design of Basho’s Narrow Road of the Interior. Use it as the basis of a paper:
BASHO: THE NARROW ROAD OF THE INTERIOR: Discuss the following fundamental principles [in any order, in any way]—you might have to look them up:
KOKURU—a poem is both emotional and logical–explain [heart/mind aspect of poem]
MAKOTO—a poem asks one to be direct and sincere [sincerity/directness]. Is Basho either?
MONO-NO-AWARE [the perception of the natural poignancy of temporal things] like Basho’s cherry blossoms, we too will whither and die—does Basho suggest this?
DEMAND THE FULL EXPERIENCE OF THE MOMENT:
There is no separation from Basho’s poetry and his practice—they are all one—he lived the idea.
CODEPENDENT ORIGINATION: Japanese Buddhist monk, SAIGYO believed in “co-dependent origination”—the Buddhist philosophy that all nature is interdependent [discuss the following three ideas in relation to this]:
Be in perpetual communion with the natural world
Live from the center
There is an inter-connectedness of all things—and this is vital to know
AMARI-NO-KOKORO [state a poem reaches when the heart and soul of a poem leaps at us from a place beyond the words themselves to leave a haunting “after-taste” in the center of the reader, especially of…
SABISHI [spiritual loneliness]—in what ways did Basho express this concept?
