Choose a character from any of the readings from our study this term. Now imagine you are the character and compose a “character journal entry” of approximately 250-300 words (you may exceed this minimum word count if you wish) from the character’s perspective. Here are some tips to help you get started:
Things To Remember When Writing Character Journal Entries:
Keep it in the first person. The point of this exercise is to allow you to climb into the mind of your character and see from their point of view. For that reason, you should write your journal entry in first person, as if you yourself are the character you’re trying to figure out.
If you need to, practice first. Keep it to what they see, hear, smell, taste and/or feel.
Remember: It’s all about what’s NOT normally said. Think about yourself and what the inside of your own head is like. Of course, when you see or do anything, it triggers memories and feelings, all like echoes of your past. Now, think about your character. When they see or do something, what might happen inside their head? What memories or experiences might something call to mind for them, from their own past? A journal is an ideal environment for a character to try to lay out all of these pieces and try to make sense of them. Don’t be afraid to jump from one thing to another without filling in gaps or trying to analyze things, feel free to experiment and explore.
Make their true feelings known. While in the story itself, your character might need to be polite and respectful to other characters, inside they might be secretly seething with hatred and jealousy. Or perhaps they’re deeply in love with someone, and can’t admit it?
Keep it conversational. A journal entry is not an essay. It’s more of a stream of consciousness monologue. It shouldn’t be written in a formal style, as that tends not to be how people would speak. If your character has a way of saying certain things, or likes an interesting turn of phrase, then make sure that’s how their journal entry is written as well.
The character I choose is Hamlet from Shakespeare play.

For this paper, you will select a topic from either Unit 1 or Unit 2 and craft a short ″thought paper.″ The goal of this paper is to explore one text or idea more fully. You may choose any text and topic you would like, but I recommend using one of the many questions we have worked with in reading questions and discussions throughout the class (maybe even the question you wrote on a discussion board!). Please use strong textual evidence to provide meaningful and deep analysis. The goal here is to keep your paper narrowly focused and to go deep, rather than feeling like you have to fully analyze a whole text. While you may use quotes and ideas you wrote about in previous responses to questions, you should not simply copy and paste those responses in without editing and adjustment.
The minimum requirements for this paper are:
Your paper must be a minimum of 1000 words, which is roughly 3 to 4 pages, though you may exceed this minimum.
For these papers it is best not to include outside resources if possible. Your paper should explore your reading and ideas about the text you choose. You may apply course concepts and ideas, but avoid finding external sources.
Avoid too much summary–jump right into your argument!
Here are 3 important key ideas to keep in mind when writing a literary analysis:
Develop a clear argument (thesis) that provides an argument that is narrowly focused and appropriate to the page count. (For example, in a 5 page paper, you can’t do an in-depth study of Mother’s in African American Literature. You could, though, focus in on specific decisions Eva makes in Sula, analyzing how social circumstances and the history of slavery affect those actions. Similarly, you can’t address 5 texts or poems fully, but you could compare small sections/scenes/sets of lines by two or three, if you focus narrowly on very connected pieces.)
Use textual evidence to support your argument. Each paragraph should have a balance of evidence from the text and your own explication (taking something implicit, that you see in the text, and pointing it out so that the reader can see it). Your analysis should be twice as long as anything you quote or paraphrase, in order to ensure you give enough of an argument and your perspective.
Show, don’t tell. Instead of telling your reader what the author is doing, show us. For example, don’t tell us “x text is about…” without using direct textual evidence so that we can see it too—we can’t just take your word for it. If you feel like it would take too long to explain or go into depth, that is usually a sign your topic is too big. Similarly, don’t say “in this paper I will ____” or tell us what you are doing. Instead, do it. (Example: In this paper I will analyze the decisions Eva makes in Sula. NO—instead: In Sula, Eva ______.)

Explicate Robert Frost’s poem “Dust of Snow” (1920) AS THOUGH POE wrote it. Perform an analysis that addresses setting, tone, symbol, enjambment, meter, and rhyme scheme. It helps to just delete Frost’s name and put Poe there insead.
Dust of Snow
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part

The author I chose to emulate is Z.Z. Packer
Paper 2: Researched Author Study (at least 2,750 words between the short story and analytical components)
For this paper, you will pick an author of literary short stories (not novels). This should be an author you’ve read from class, but it cannot be an author you wrote about for paper one. You will research the author and read as many of their stories as you can. Then, the paper will be broken up into two sections:
1) The short story (2,000 – 2,500 words)
After reading much of your author’s work, you should have a sense of their style. Try to understand the way they use language, create characters, incorporate dialogue, fashion settings, and balance summary/scene. Then, write your own short story, incorporating lessons you’ve learned from your author.
It is important to note that your subject matter can (and probably should) vary widely from the subjects of the stories you read. It is possible to be original while imitating the greats. Your goal should be a mixture between originality and homage.
You have the liberty to write as you wish. Remember that you can also incorporate and fictionalize some element of your life in this story. Here is where we combine what we’ve learned about audience awareness, strong narrative voice, scene structure, and the use of sensory details.
Though you are free in choosing what you write, I want you to know that you can extract an amazing story from the mundane. Many students possess a propensity to write for shock or about a serious, albeit disturbing, subject. These topics are not off limits or taboo, but they do not necessarily produce the best story either. Think about small, quotidian moments as well. These are often the moments you have the most authority and experience writing about.
I also know that the few weeks I have allotted you to write this story is insufficient. Good stories take months, if not years, to produce. Therefore, I am not looking for you to produce a masterpiece. I will, however, be looking at your usage of dialogue—is it realistic or contrived? Furthermore, I will analyze what type of narration you use and the rhetorical strategies behind it. Character development will be important as well. Do you make the characters noteworthy? As a reader, is there reason to empathize with or care about your protagonist or antagonist? Moreover, close, vivid scenes packed with details will be of chief import. Finally, the scope of your story’s plot should be appropriate for the length of our assignment.
Feeling a bit nervous about coming up with a short story? Take a deep breath. For this assignment, you have a variety of options to help you brainstorm. First and foremost, you are free to write exclusively from your own creativity. Do you have a story, a character, or a plot in mind you would like to explore? Go with it! However, if you do not, you still have options. Have you heard of a recent news story that you would like fictionalize? Go for it! Think outside the box. Stare at random objects or simply “people watch” and create stories from your brainstorming.
I will above all be looking that you effectively use dialogue, that your story is in scene, and that it is rife with conflict. Most importantly, I want you to be creative—this is possible even as you emulate your author. Write from first, second or third person, play with organization and time structures, write from the voices of multiple characters, or write from the voice of one character. Write from the position of an inanimate object or an animal, write the story backwards, write the story in fragments, write the story as its narrator, write a cryptic ending, write a sad ending… Just write! We’ll worry about helping it make sense in peer workshops.
2) The analysis (at least 750 words)
Next, in a clearly marked separate section, analyze your short story. How did you incorporate what you learned from reading your author (alongside class discussions and exercises) into your short story? Cite specific examples from his or her text to support your claims, along with evidence from a secondary source.
It will be useful to analyze and think critically about your author’s process of writing before you even begin your story: How did the author create his or her stories? Why do you think they made the choices they made? How do these choices affect the story/stories, and how have you incorporated these lessons in your own work? Likewise, what lessons in class did you incorporate into your work and why? How do these choices affect your work? I am most concerned with what you as a writer could learn from this author’s techniques and class lessons to use in your own writing. Exploring this process will help you understand all that goes into crafting an effective short story and provide you with deeper insight into both your writing and others’.
I would recommend the following structure for this section of your paper:
1) Introduction: tell us how/why you chose your author. Give us a brief overview of what is notable of the author’s style, typical content, language usage, etc. Finally, tell us specifically what aspects of their writing (dialogue, character development, engagement with social issues, etc.) most influenced you in writing of your own short story. While quality always trumps quantity, I envision you needing to analyze at least three literary elements.
2) Next, in the order they are listed in your introduction, devote a paragraph to examining each of those literary elements. To do this, you’ll need to do some close reading/analysis of the author’s work itself. Then, you will move on to showing the author’s influence on your story by analyzing your own writing. Why did you choose to emulate this component of your author’s craft? How and why does it affect your writing?
3) Equally as important will be the successful incorporation of research into your paper. Effective, non-stand alone quotes, internal citations, and a works cited page in correct MLA format are required for a complete paper. I reserve the right to deduct up to a full letter grade for incorrect quotation style, citations, and/or works cited pages.
4) Finally, you will need at least 5 sources for this paper:
-You must cite/refer to at least 3 of the author’s stories in the analysis
-You must also include at least 2 secondary sources, such as:
-An interview with the author
-A work of scholarly criticism that addresses the story you are discussing
Paper has to have at least 5 sources as stated above
