ENGL 205 Literature Review ASSIGNMENT: 100PTS

I’m a Student-Athlete from Dortmund Germany and struggle with this particular English class.

My teacher is very strict and challenging therefore I need someone who can write this paper for me to get a great result.

This Review is a pre-work of my final research paper both instructions are attached and the grading rubric is attached as well.

due 11:59pm on Monday, March 19th

(file must be in DOC, DOCX, or RTF format)

In preparation for your Research Paper, you will construct a Literature Review. The purpose of a Literature Review

is to assess what experts have already said about your topic, to get a sense of the conversation already taking place

around your area of inquiry. Your Literature Review will consist of a brief proposal followed by annotated

citations.

Use the research databases provided by the library. Consult the research librarians.

PROPOSAL:

A well-developed paragraph that names the texts being studied, the reason you are pairing the two texts (What are

the similarities between the texts that make them a good candidate for comparison?), a significant difference

between the texts, and your preliminary thoughts about what that difference might mean.

SOURCES:

Your annotated bibliography will include a total of 9 scholarly secondary sources analyzing the works you have

chosen or providing background for your project.

You should have 3 sources for Text A, 3 sources for Text B, 3 sources providing background/analysis of the

idea or topic the comparison is examining. For example, if I were writing a paper about Jacob and Arujuna, I would

have 3 sources about Genesis, 3 sources about the Bhagavad-gita, and 3 sources about the anthropological study of

ritual.

These sources will include at least 4 peer-reviewed journal articles over 9 pages long and at least 2 books or

eBooks1 (book chapters will count as PRJs). You may only use ONE article from The Explicator.

Please note that you will ultimately need to cite at least 7 secondary sources, plus your primary sources (the

literary works themselves) in your final research paper. You are NOT required to use any of the sources included in

the Literature Review in your final paper. Sometimes research ideas change during the writing process.

COMMENTARY:

After each MLA works cited entry, you will include a solid paragraph-long summary of the source and comments.
The summary portion should identify the topic, main point, and general argument of the source. The commentary
should indicate your thoughts about how the source will contribute to your project.

FORMAT:

• Page 1: After the heading (your name, etc), the Proposal.

• Each page after that should begin with an MLA Works Cited page citation for a source. After the citation,

include a solid paragraph-long summary of the source. Do not go onto a second page with your commentary.

• Sources should be in alphabetical order by last name of the author. (Just like in a Works Cited page.)

• Your final document should be 10 pages long: 1 page proposal and 9 citations/commentaries.

• The assignment will follow all other General Paper Guidelines (12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch

margins, running header, double-spacing, etc.) Please see the posted example.

1 The literary texts themselves do NOT count towards this requirement (they are primary, not secondary sources).

Moral Growth: Various Forms of a Surge of Internal Understanding

For my final paper in World Literature 1, I would like to explore the various forms that individuals have used to better themselves morally. Suspendisse orci enim, iaculis tempus sagittis eget, maximus et nisl. Integer a sollicitudin enim. Duis pharetra vestibulum nisl, nec convallis metus hendrerit eu. Nullam aliquet risus tellus, ac sagittis turpis pharetra sed. Nullam sit amet odio quis ipsum malesuada iaculis a a lorem. Cras ullamcorper velit eu ex faucibus venenatis. Nunc semper pulvinar odio, sed ullamcorper augue vestibulum non. I would like to compare and contrast the written stories describing how St. Augustine of Hippo and Arjuna explore and analyze themselves morally Sed tristique rhoncus erat, sit amet vulputate quam mattis eu. Curabitur sed ornare metus, nec faucibus nunc. Vivamus scelerisque et quam non blandit. Vivamus nec condimentum metus, but both Confessions and the Bhagavad-Gita provide stories of growth and change that will make this analysis much easier. Sed tristique rhoncus erat, sit amet vulputate quam mattis eu. Curabitur sed ornare metus, nec faucibus nunc. Vivamus scelerisque et quam non blandit. Vivamus nec condimentum metus.

ENGL 205: Long Paper Assignment: 300 pts

due by midnight on Friday, April 16

(file must be in DOC, DOCX, or RTF format)

Examining differences between texts often generates significant insight, especially when there is much in

common. For example, while both the Jacob of Genesis and Arjuna come face to face with a divine being,

what do we make of the fact that Jacob wrestled and struggled physically and Arjuna engages in a

philosophical debate?

Your job is to examine two authors/texts and discern what significant meaning is generated by a meaningful

difference. In choosing your texts, you must identify a significant similarity that allows the difference to

highlight a meaningful idea.

In the above example, the significant similarity is that both Genesis and Bhagavad Gita feature characters

having face-to-face meetings with a deity. That similarity marks a significant area of comparison.

The difference between a physical struggle and a mental struggle then is an area of meaningful

comparison. The thesis would be your answer to the question “what do we make of that difference?”

or “what is the significance of that difference?” or “What does that difference teach me?”.

Each student will write a 2,600-word essay (approx. 8 pages, properly formatted) based on one of the

following choices:

1) Narrative

Compare/Contrast TWO of the following:

• Beowulf

• Don Quixote

• Sunjata

• Tale of Genji

• The Thousand and One Nights

2) Poetry

Compare/contrast TWO of the following:

• a selection from The Classic of Poetry

• Francis Petrarch

• A Tang Poet (Li Bo, or Du Fu)

3) Religion/Philosophy

Compare/contrast TWO of the following:

• Augustine’s Confessions

• Bhagavad-Gita

• Confucius Analects

• The Qu’ran

Specifications:

Your paper must…

 be 2,600 words long (NOT COUNTING WORKS CITED PAGE) (approx. 8 pages)

 quote, summarize, and/or paraphrase from the following sources:
o the two primary sources—(the literary text or texts you are analyzing)
o at least 2 books/ebooks (secondary sources)
o at least 5 peer-reviewed articles from scholarly literary journals (only one article from The

Explicator is allowed). Book reviews do not count. (secondary sources)

 have a descriptive title

 provide a reason for comparing the two texts in the introduction

 contain a clear interpretive thesis statement that summarizes your conclusions

o remember that your thesis claim should be specific and significant

 explain and support its main points with specific examples and/or quotations from the texts

 contain unified, coherent, well-developed paragraphs with strong topic sentences
