Paper #2: Working with Critical Articles
Due dates: THURSDAY, July 11th, 11:59pm
Length: 5-6 pages
Format: Double-spaced, 1-inch margins, numbered pages, 12-point (Times New Roman, Arial, or Garamond) font. Please refer to formatting sheet. *Title centered over text *Works Cited page
Objective: This assignment involves working with a text and its criticism, using the latter to help enhance your textual/conceptual argument in a relevant and clear manner. Essentially, you will use at least two critical articles on Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises in order to enhance a conceptual examination of the text. From the given topics (or one of your own choosing), you will have to find articles which pertain to the concept you wish to focus on as well as cite, paraphrase, and inject your chosen articles into the paper itself. You may use one or more from the assigned articles (from below) but must choose at least one additional article from your own research. Think of the secondary sources as a tool with which to help you build and strengthen your thesis, one which will ultimately guide your interaction with the text. Assessment will be based on how well you connect the ideas in the article with those in your paper and use both to create a clear and strengthened thesis. This is not a critique of the articles- the articles support your thesis.
Texts:
-The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway (primary)
-“Reading Around Jake’s narration: Brett Ashley and The Sun Also Rises,” Lori Watkins Fulton (secondary)
-“Cafés and Food: Allusions to the Great War in The Sun Also Rises, William Adair (secondary) -“Yes, That is a Roll of Bills in My Pocket: The Economy of masculinity in The Sun Also Rises,” Jacob Michael Leland (secondary) -Other secondary readings
Analyze masculinity within the text. Consider Jake’s characterization—his war wound, his relations with Brett and other women, his use of money, his passion for bullfighting, and leisure activities—instances of male bonding and sportsmanship, male-female contrasts and interactions. Think also about money, sex, bullfight/boxing/street fighting, drinking, etc. and how they play into the text’s notion of what it is to be a man. You can also explore his relationships with other men- what does he admire, or resent about others’ masculinity?
