5.09 Assignment Suit Up, Old Sport!

Background: Cyril Connolly once said that literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice; journalism what will be read once. Great writers of literature are so, in part, because they control language with astounding precision. They connect factors such as character, setting, conflict, symbols, metaphor in ways that themes and ideas are incarnated. They use diction, syntax, rhetorical figure, rhythm to create a style that slips and pulls with meaning. They dress ideas in a pant suit or sweater; they haul meaning in a pick-up truck; they pull up a chair and ask life to lunch. F. Scott Fitzgerald is a master; he demands our hyperattentionultraomnipotentscrutiny.

Task: Do a critical language analysis of one passage from Fitzgeralds masterpiece, The Great Gatsby.

Guidelines:

Your passage may be no more than 200 words.
The excerpt must be typed at the top of your paper.
MLA Format

Structure your paper very purposefully. Narrow your topic enough that each paragraph can have its own specific focus that gets meticulous about detail. The richness of a literature that bristles with meaning is brought out by close-readingshow me that you can do thatarticulate the nuances.

There was a faint, barely perceptible movement of the water as the fresh flow from one end urged its way toward the drain at the other. With little ripples that were hardly the shadows of waves, the laden mattress moved irregularly down the pool. A small gust of wind that scarcely corrugated the surface was enough to disturb its accidental course with its accidental burden. The touch of a cluster of leaves revolved it slowly, tracing, like the leg of a compass, a thin red circle in the water. It was after we started with Gatsby toward the house that the gardener saw Wilsons body a little way off in the grass, and the holocaust was complete (170).

It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisythey smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made(188).

First, what are some of the ways identity is directly or indirectly defined in the readings? How can archaeologists figure out how identity was constructed and expressed for members of the ancient Maya culture? What are the sources of data that archaeologists used in the readings to try to understand identity? How is the material culture of everyday life used to understand identity? How much of understanding identity is about difference and how much is about sameness? Did this weeks readings make you think about how you express your identity as a member of your culture?

Students will also summarize one article from a popular periodical (Newsweek, Time, U.S. New and World Report), or from major news outlets (Associated Press, LA Times, NYTimes, etc), on an issue related to race and ethnicity, or race and gender, or race and class, or race and gender, race and sexual orientation, and so on. The article review is worth 15% of the total grade.

The article and the summary must be consistent with the content of the course and course materials for it to be acceptable.
The article must be current (yr. 2010+) and must be substantial enough for you to analyze several points.
You must include an active html link to the article or provide a hard copy along with your review.
There needs to be some summary of the article but also some thoughtful discussion of how this article fits within the context of our course content.
The article summary must be a typewritten and double-spaced 2-3 page paper.

For your discussion and summary of the article:
Do not forget what you have been studying. This is not an assignment for you to post your personal opinions. It is to be a summary of a contemporary article that addresses, or tries to address, some of the issues about race, class, gender, and sexuality, nation, immigration etc, that weve been considering through the course readings, lectures, and films.

Suggestions: Take some time to look for an appropriate news or magazine article. You wont be able to do this in one hour. Spend some time either at the library or online looking for an article that is appropriate to review.

Themes to consider for your research: civil rights; voter rights; race, gender, class, sexual, age, or ability discrimination; hate crimes; racial profiling; sexual harassment; gay and/or lesbian rights; transgender rights; same sex marriage; media stereotypes; race and terrorism; immigration, etc.

Some things to consider as you write: There should be some summary of the article, but also make sure to provide some thoughtful discussion of how this article fits within the context of our course content.

Questions to ask yourself about your article:
Does the article reflect the content and tone of the course?
Does the article acknowledge the more complex and informed understanding of race, class, and gender that youve been studying in class?
Does the article reflect the history of racism and its legacy in the U.S.
What questions is the article asking about particular racial or ethnic communities?
Is there anything missing or lacking in the article about race relations?

What class issues are being discussed?
How is class being used to explain inequalities among different groups?
Is class being discussed in a complex way?
What groups are being discussed? Are they described as all the same? If described as different, what is the difference? Is this difference described as racially or socially constructed?
What is the significance of the discussion about group to class issues?

What gender issue is being discussed? Masculinity? Femininity? Bi-sexuality? Transgender Identities?
What specific gender issue does the article center around?
Does the article expose gender inequities?
Does the article expand on how gender equity can be achieved?
What is the significance of this article on our understanding of gender issues?

Is there a particular issue around sexuality that the article discusses? What is it?
Does it challenge heteronormativity?
Does it challenge your own assumptions about sexual orientation? How?
How does this article expand our understanding of sexuality? Or is it too narrow?

Given the information you now know about race, class, and gender, how does your article fair?
If the article doesnt go far enough in its understanding as you now have learned, discuss what you think is missing.
Are there any old racial, gender, or class assumptions that are reinforced in the article?
Are there other discriminatory issues that have come to light in the article that are reminiscent of other forms of discrimination?
Are these issues the same, different, or more contemporary than the ones we have studied? How, and why are they important for us to consider today?
