ESSAY #2, GHOST WORLD
LENGTH: 1200 WORDS
BACKGROUND:
In this unit we have developed a probing and dynamic engagement with a graphic novel by Daniel Clowes. We have asked our own questions about the text, and we have worked to figure out what questions the text raises about the world. We have considered not only plot and character but also the style of the images and language.
ESSAY PROMPT:
What in Daniel Clowes’s Ghost World seems most important to you? Why?
HOW TO DO IT:
Your essay may be relatively personal and autobiographical or relatively impersonal (like Thurschwell’s “Ghost Worlds of Modern Adolescence”); either way, it should reflect your own distinctive perspective. You may use “I.” Develop your perspective fully enough to enable other readers of Ghost World to see it the way you do, but also show that your reading takes other perspectives into account. In other words, devote some space to showing that you can think of at least one other way of looking at the book. Make sure you analyze the style of the book; do not just summarize the plot or describe the characters.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS (for a passing grade):
Double space your text and indent your paragraphs
Refer to specific details from Ghost World and refer to specific page/ frame numbers
Write readable, coherent, focused paragraphs and sentences
Write at *least* 1200 words 
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR:
Orientation and direction. What’s YOUR angle on Ghost World, and where do you want to take your reader? Show me a way of looking at this text, and make me understand why it’s worthwhile to look at the text in this way.
Thesis statement. Yes, the thesis statement is closely related to #1 (above), but some students do ok with orientation and direction without really ever capturing their argument in a thesis statement. You will get a better grade if you can make a supportable claim which you articulate in a statement of 1-2 sentences relatively early in your essay.
Discussion of formal/ stylistic features of the Examples include (you don’t need to discuss ALL of these!): color, layout, postures, gestures, facial expression, word choice, wardrobe, titles/ subtitles, setting, etc. Make sure to consider graphic and verbal features (pictures and words).
Awareness/ anticipation of other voices/ positions. What might other people say in response to your argument? Consider our class discussions, and critical texts we have read. If you quote or paraphrase these texts, make sure to include them on your Works Cited page.
Focused paragraphs with good transitions.
Well-connected, well-constructed sentences.

Two films: Night of the living dead & The dead don’t die
Compare and contrast the two films: Using the “classic” film as a guide for how the elements of a genre (or sub-genre) have expanded or changed over time; discuss what makes the “classic” film an example of the genre/sub-genre and how the more “recent” or “newer” movie is a part of that genre/sub-genre. You can also argue that the more “recent” or “newer” movie is NOT an example (or not a good example) of a that genre/sub-genre.  Use specific examples from each film.

You will be writing a body-paragraph essay. It will be a lengthy, substantive pa

You will be writing a body-paragraph essay. It will be a lengthy, substantive paragraph (you can break it down into smaller body paragraphs) telling your classmates as emerging academic writers your view on “Tolerance Paradox.”  Should we always tolerate what the “Other Side” says and believes in the name of free speech and an open democratic society or are some ideas so detrimental and corrosive that it paradoxically hurts the concept of free speech and a democratic society?  
You are expected to fully converse with Will Tomer and Sean Blanda by summarizing their main ideas, using correct in-text citation and strong signal phrases and signal verbs, and stating and elaborating why you agree and/or disagree.  You can also bring in Adam Greenwood, Milo Yiannopoulos, Stanley Fish, and Glenn Greenwald to help develop your ideas and provide concrete examples to demonstrate your points. 
Please remember the purpose of this paper is to practice some important rhetorical moves that academic writers make to have an engaging conversation with their sources.  Your body-paragraph essay should be at least a full page. Many students in the past wrote a page and a half to two pages for their body paragraph essay. 
Criteria:
Your paper must be in MLA formatLinks to an external site.. In addition, you must integrate at least one passage (quote) from Blanda’s article and one from Tomer’s article. You can bring in additional sources we discussed this semester to help develop your thoughts: Adam Greenwood’s Ted Talk, Milo Yiannopoulos being interviewed, and Stanley Fish and Glenn Greenwald debating free speech. You can access all in Module Three or at the bottom of this page under “Resources.”
