  • Comparative essay

    A comparative essay asks you to compare the ideas and arguments presented in two different texts. This involves both accurately interpreting

    1. what exactly are the conclusions the author is intending to convince the reader to draw;
    2. what are the reasons the author utilizes in justifying their conclusions; and finally
    3. what relevance these conclusions have on the socioeconomic conditions or political thought of contemporary societies.

    The basis of your comparison will be two (2) abridged selections from political thinkers of the nineteenth century. List of authors and sections you can use for your comparative analysis include:

    You have the option to pick any two of the above readings to analyze. Your essay will consist of four sections: two critical summaries of the texts, a comparative analysis of both texts, and finally a critical reflection on contemporary implications. You’re essay should cite no other works than the two that chosenI’m interested in your critical reading of these political thinkers. Your essay should be no more that 1500 words. Please utilize the following structure for your essay:

    Critical Summary of Authors. There should be two (2) separate sections where you provide a short reconstruction of the ideological positions presented in the text. How does the author conceive of a just and fair society? What, if any, political reforms are they advocating? Note that you need not at this stage present any counterarguments targeting other ideologies at this stage. You need only present their political position in a clear and succinct manner.

    Comparative Analysis. Here is where you will list all the relevant similarities and differences between the two readings. Are there substantive disagreements between the two authors? Do the thinkers share any beliefs or prescriptions regardless of whether they are ideologically unified? Pay attention to how the texts might differ in style as well as content. Some of the texts are elements of abstract philosophical treatises while others are taken from political pamphlets meant for popular circulation. How do these stylistic differences influence the effectiveness of the overall arguments being made?

    Critical Reflection on Contemporary Implications. The final section is where you reflect on whether or how the ideas in the texts inform our contemporary political situation. This requires you considering political engagements at any scale. You could focus on current trends in global politics or macroeconomics. You could write on recent changes to provincial criminal code. You could write on activist groups advocating for political change. What’s most important is that you explain how the political ideas in the primary texts either inform or critique the dynamics of contemporary political affairs.

  • Poetry

    YKL 200 Poetry Close Reading Assignment

    Objective: To conduct a meticulous close reading of a primary text, focusing on how formal elements (meter, imagery, and syntax) construct philosophical meaning.

    The Task

    Select one of the following poems and write a 4 page (double spaced) formal analysis:

    1. “Ozymandias” by Percy Bysshe Shelley
    2. “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats
    1. “London” by William Blake

    Your goal is not to summarize the poem, but to argue how its specific linguistic choices reflect a core Romantic tensionsuch as the power of nature over man, the immortality of art, or the corruption of the industrial soul.

    To succeed in a close reading, you must look “under the hood” of the poem. Consider the following:

    • The Architecture of the Line: How does the poet use enjambment (lines running over) or caesura (breaks in the middle of a line) to control the reader’s “breath”?
    • The Sensory Palette: Identify the dominant imagery. Is it organic and fluid, or cold and static? How does this imagery shift from the beginning to the end?
    • The Speakers Stance: Is the narrator a detached observer, an impassioned participant, or a prophetic voice?
    • Acoustics: Look for internal rhyme, alliteration, and assonance. How do these sounds reinforce the emotional tone (e.g., harsh “k” sounds vs. soft “s” sounds)?

    Thesis: Presents a non-obvious, debatable claim about the poem’s meaning.

    Evidence: Integrates specific quotes seamlessly into the prose.

    Analysis: Goes beyond “what” the poem says to “how” the language creates that effect.

    Cite from the text by quoting and indicating line reference embedded in the text. Ex. (L. 12-14)

    Pro-Tip for Success

    Avoid the “Message” Trap: Don’t just tell me the poem is about “nature being pretty.” The Romantics were often grappling with intense anxiety, political upheaval, and the limits of human perception. Look for the “friction” in the textwhere the language feels difficult or contradictory

    • Describe the reliability and validity of assessments.
    • Competency 3: Apply psychological ethical principles to forensic psychology.

    • Use APA style formatting for citations and reference list with only minor errors.
    • Address assessment purpose in a well-organized text, incorporating appropriate evidence and tone in grammatically sound sentences.

    Just a friendly reminder to avoid quoting your sources in academic writing. Rather than quoting your sources in your posts/paper (which is not the standard in academic writing), be sure to paraphrase and cite. Please remember that every sentence that contains info that is not common knowledge needs a cite. So, the sentence, “Freud was a psychiatrist.” would not need a cite, but the sentence, “Freud began his career in traditional medicine, and he’s considered the father of psychoanalysis.” would need a cite.

    Paraphrasing is important because it’s the only way to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts. For example, if you asked me to explain the theory of relativity and I responded by quoting Einstein, you wouldn’t know if I actually understood it enough to explain it in my own words.
