“Famous”
By Naomi Shihab NyeLinks to an external site.
The river is famous to the fish.
The loud voice is famous to silence,   
which knew it would inherit the earth   
before anybody said so.   
The cat sleeping on the fence is famous to the birds   
watching him from the birdhouse.   
The tear is famous, briefly, to the cheek.   
The idea you carry close to your bosom   
is famous to your bosom.   
The boot is famous to the earth,   
more famous than the dress shoe,   
which is famous only to floors.
The bent photograph is famous to the one who carries it   
and not at all famous to the one who is pictured.   
I want to be famous to shuffling men   
who smile while crossing streets,   
sticky children in grocery lines,   
famous as the one who smiled back.
I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous,   
or a buttonhole, not because it did anything spectacular,   
but because it never forgot what it could do.

Recall an argument or conflict- big or small- that you’ve had with another person. Then, imagine the conflict from the other person’s point of view. Now write this scene in first person. Make your character sympathetic. Place us in a setting; include physical movement, sensory details and dialogue. (Note: This must be something you feel comfortable sharing with your peers.) If you’d rather write a completely fictional scene, that’s fine- just make sure you write it from the point of view of someone you’d normally disagree with.

For your research paper due in week 7, you will write a literary analysis with a specific, creative thesis and opinionated argument. Your finished essay will meaningfully incorporate 1-2 of the assigned readings this quarter and make a unified argument with specific assertions and researched support. Your paper is expected to contain some focus on your chosen literature’s status as world literature and what can be learned by examining the author(s) or work(s) from cultural, historical, or sociological perspectives. In terms of content, the most effective essays will
Evaluate and apply diverse perspectives (such as cultural, disciplinary, and ethical) to complex global subjects
Articulate an understanding of cultural differences
Demonstrate sophisticated understanding of the complexity of elements important to members of another culture in relation to its history, values, politics, communication styles, economy, or beliefs and practices.

To support your analysis, you must use at least four secondary sources from the GMC Library in addition to the literary work(s) discussed in your paper. The final paper must be at least 1500 words in length (and no more than 2000).
Requirements:
Thesis/Analysis
Your research paper must be a cohesive literary analysis of 1-2 of the assigned readings.
Your thesis statement must be clear, debatable, assignment-appropriate, and supported throughout your paper.
Avoid irrelevant biographical information or extensive plot summary. Your paper should prioritize focused literary analysis.
Research
You must use at least 4 secondary sources (in addition to primary sources- the literature itself) that provide critical arguments about the reading you’ve chosen. Research must come from class-provided resources or relevant scholarly articles from GMC Library databases. 
You may quote, paraphrase, or summarize your sources, but don’t let your research dominate the paper- you are the primary writer and thinker here, not your sources.
Your paper must be formatted according to MLA style.
You must include proper in-text citations within the body of your paper when quoting or paraphrasing primary and secondary sources.
You must include a works cited page at the end of your paper. Your works cited should include entries for both your research sources as well as the assigned literature you’ve chosen to write about. 
For more information about MLA style, review the How-To Guide: MLA Formatting and Citations page linked in class. 
Grammar/Mechanics
All written assignments should be mechanically and grammatically correct, with proper punctuation.
Avoid first-person point-of-view formal academic writing.
Take time to edit and revise your paper as needed prior to submission.
Organization
The introduction should name all relevant authors/works involved, and include a clear, appropriate thesis statement.
Each body paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that relates back to the thesis. The information in each paragraph should relate to the topic sentence.
The conclusion should rephrase your thesis, summarize key supporting ideas, and offer your final impressions and observations on the topic. 
Bear in mind that the structure of a paper- the thesis statement, the introduction, and the conclusion- should all work together. Before you begin writing, write an outline to organize your ideas. Doing so should help you write a more well-organized essay.
