  • week 5 skill building

    After reviewing my Week 4 response paper, I believe one of the strongest parts of my essay was my thesis and how consistently I supported it. My argument clearly showed Alices midnight run as a moment of feminist autonomy rather than a simple emotional breakdown. Although I am proud of my essay overall, I see there are areas I can improve. I repeated similar phrases when discussing gender expectations. There were moments when I may have allowed a brain worm of over-explaining cultural context instead of digging deeper into layered symbolism. Reflecting on this paper has helped me see that strong writing requires not only a clear argument but also a deeper connection with symbolism and theory. In the future I want to focus on making every paragraph not only support my thesis but also deepen it with more analysis. I have not used the free tutoring service yet. I have relied on my own revision process. After earning a strong grade and reviewing feedback, tutoring could help me refine my writing, especially as I prepare for the final research paper. I plan to take full advantage of the free tutoring service to help strengthen my argument development and polish my writing.

    Topic:

    Katherine Mansfields Miss Brill and Ray Bradburys The Pedestrian through the lens of Psychoanalytic Criticism.

    Research Question:

    How do Miss Brill and The Pedestrian show imagination as a defense against emotional rejection, and how does that same defense trap the protagonists in deeper isolation?

    Thesis Statement:

    Through the lens of Psychoanalytic Criticism, in Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield and The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury, the protagonists rely on imagination as a defense that protects them from emotional rejection, yet this self-created fantasy strengthens repression and deepens their long-term psychological isolation.

    Your initial post should include at least one APA-formatted scholarly, professional, or textbook reference with accompanying in-text citation to support any paraphrased, summarized, or quoted material.

    Due to COVID-19, people were asked to practice social distancing and to wear masks when in public in 2020. Many stores required patrons to have on a mask before they enter the store. There were people who opposed these guidelines and suggested they infringed upon their rights.

    Create a discussion post in which you support the guidelines for wearing a mask. In your response to another student, reply to their reasons for supporting the guidelines with arguments against wearing the masks. Try to refrain from giving personal reasons in your post or response, but see this as a classic debate in which you need to be able to argue for either side of a question with evidence and logic.
