In the novel, “Daisy Miller: A Study,” by Henry James, Daisy is seen as a “flirty” girl who enjoys the company of interesting gentlemen. And, to a certain extent she is responsible for her fate. She constantly stayed out at late hours with men including Mr. Giovanelli, resulting in her fever and ultimately her death. As Daisy begins to have more and more men around, as well as the time when she and Giovanelli entered into Mrs. Walker’s party, she was given the cold shoulder. People of that culture began to suspect that she was engaging in an affair with Mr. Giovanelli. Daisy, being ignorant of the societal ideals (that pre-marital sex and adultery were frowned upon), thought nothing of it—she wasn’t embarrassed and showed no sign of emotion. She was simply a young girl looking to enjoy herself in the foreign land. Despite the norms, she continues to entertain her relationship with Giovanelli, which (perhaps) lead him to believe that marriage was a possibility. However, at her graveside, Giovanelli utters these words, “If she had lived, I should have got nothing. She would never have married me, I am sure [Daisy Miller, James].” There is something to be said about Daisy and Giovanelli’s relationship. Daisy was looking to enjoy her time abroad, while Giovanelli was looking to gain more from their relationship; all the while maintaining his gentlemanly appearance as if to be in no hurry. As a side note, it’s interesting to think of how the author chose the names of the characters. “Daisy” implies purity and beauty, whereas “Winterbourne” seems more sophisticated and analytical.

There are many examples of the Literacy Narrative genres that we’ve thus far seen. However, we’re going to focus in a little on a few of these options. You’ll choose from one of the two Memoirs:

,

, and then also read

. Take some notes for yourself and think about them as you read.

Write

Now that you’ve read through the essays, compare them. How does the Memoir compare to the Profile? How do they contrast? What importance do they hold in the greater world (the genres of Memoir and Profile) and how do we as a society use them (your thoughts on this)? How do they make you think about writing your own Memoir essay? Are there any inspirations from these (or from the other essays from the past week) that might influence you? If so, how? Try to keep focused on the essays of this week if you can. If you find one of the others from the past week had influence or inspirations for you, make a little note about it, but try to keep it to the ones this week. Add any details you feel are relevant to the discussion. The initial post should be at least 350 words in length and substantial in content. This is due by Thursday, January 29th, at 11:59 PM EST.

Write a narrative essay about a person you consider to be a hero. Share an experience that shows what you admire about that person and what impact he or she had on you.

(Remember that your audience is a person or group deciding whether to accept your formal application.)

I have started it. My grandfather is my hero because out of everyone he still believed in me when I failed the third grade. He was the only one who showed me love, patience, and support. He helped me understand that failing once doesn’t define me.

After brainstorming and planning, it is time to create a draft. Your draft should have a beginning, middle, and end. First paragraph: Introduce the person you are writing about. Start a story about the person (in the beginning or in the middle), but save the details for later. Middle three paragraphs: Tell a story about your hero, using dialogue and description. Show how this person is a hero to you. Share an experience that had a deep impact on your life. Explain the traits that you admire about your real-life hero. End: Explain why this person has had such an influence on you

Thesis Synopsis

French Interpreters: From French Colonial Africa to Modern Conflict Zones in Afghanistan and Iraq

Introduction

This study studies the role of interpreters from the World Wars, late 19th century, to the contemporary conflict zones in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It investigates how the role of interpreters in terms of hierarchical positions, functions, and responsibilities have evolved specifically from French colonial time to the operations in the modern military. Here, the contributions of interpreters will be analyzed in terms of their integration into command structures, language policies, continuities in their practical roles, and communication over time. This study shows the impact of language policy on authority of interpreters, training, positioning, and recruitment as key agents of those polices inside the systems of military.
