Greetings,
I deeply apologize for such a very late notice. I taught my three morning classes today and then felt too ill and I am now back home.
Below you will find the prompt for in class essay 2. Please take no longer than one hour and 15 minutes to complete. You can either hand this in on Monday, or if possible (and very appreciated), you can put it into my dept. mailbox in Calaveras 105
For the out of class essay 3 due today, please place it in my dept. mailbox today. I will be on campus again on Friday and will collect them then.
Again, I truly apologize for this inconvenience
English 5, C. FRAGA
In class essay #2—(100 points possible)
The Namesake
READ THE
REMINDERS BELOW
BEFORE YOU
BEGIN YOUR ESSAY.
Reminders:
- Please write the essay in a blue (or green) book
- If you can remember, please skip every other line. If you forget, no worries! Do not start over.
- Remember when you are writing in response to something you have read or viewed, you must mention that novel or film early on in the essay.
- Please CIRCLE the number of the prompt
you are responding to.
- Refrain from completely re-telling the film in your essay. Assume your reader has read the novel and viewed the film. Use moments from the novel or film to support your assertions.
- Be precise and articulate.
- Take time to plan (at least 5-10 minutes) your essay before writing. YOU WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO WRITE A ROUGH DRAFT. You will have the entire class session to write your response.
- After you have written your essay, please place this paper in your blue book and submit your blue book to me. If you leave before the end of class, please exit the classroom quietly as to not disturb others who may be still writing.
Select one of the prompts below and respond in essay format.
1. Several themes
can be found in the novel. Focus on three and provide at least three supportive
examples to support each of the three themes.
2. After reading the
novel and viewing the film, discuss what you enjoyed more between the two
genres. Support your opinion fully with supportive details. It is possible that
you enjoyed both equally. If so, you will obviously still support that opinion
with supportive details.
3. Select a
character from the novel that you believe most readers find most relatable and
why. You will need to be, of course, very specific and offer logical and
insightful supportive evidence.
4.
Through his life experiences and due to maturity, Gogol's definition of home
changes throughout the novel. What would be his definition of home at each
"stage" in the novel, and how do you think he would define home at
the close of the novel? Why? Be very specific.
