Nafisi: Finding individuality and (partial) freedom through literature and independent thought
Your final interpretive exercise(700-900 words long) is due by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, May3. Please indicate the word count at the end of yourpaper.Your paper must be typed, double-spaced, with one-inch margins and 12-point font, Times New Roman. Include your name, page numbers on every page, and an original title centered on the first page. When evaluating your papers, I will be looking specifically for these things:
1) Engagement with one idea-rich passage from any one of our texts. You will introduce, cite, and analyze the quotation just as in the analytic essays, but you will not be supporting an argument, particularly. Instead, you will be using the concept in your chosen passage as a frame or lens through which to analyze our current moment living through a global pandemic. You will be demonstrating your skills at textual analysis and then applying them to an analysis of real life.
2) Good paragraphing, with clear claims and a logical sequence of ideas.
3) Little to no sentence-level error.
Assignment:
Fundamental to Expository Writing is the understanding that writing is an instrument of thought and, as Kurt Spellmeyerand Richard Miller note in the “Preface” to The New Humanities Reader, the “movement from the known to the unknown is the essence of all learning” (xix). This semester has required us all to move “from the known to the unknown” like never before and in ways we couldn’t have expected. What, then, might we learn about the “unknown” of the present moment, given the writing you’ve done throughout the course? How might the thinking we’ve done together in Expos this semester help us understand this unprecedented time?
In this exercise, explore any aspect of your or our (collective) experience during the Covid-19 pandemic.The goal is to understand something of what you have experienced by analyzing your experience in light of something that resonated with you in one of our readings. Here are some reminders of key themes in each of our texts, any one of which could provide the “lens” through which you explore what you have experienced.
