Write a Literary Analysis of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

As we have learned, writing is a social act—an act of connecting with others for multiple purposes. For your final assignment you are tasked with using Frankenstein by Mary Shelley to draft a literary analysis that argues a specific point or makes a specific claim. Remember, a literary critical analysis explains a work of fiction, poetry or drama by means of interpretation. This means that although there are no incorrect answers, the interpretation does more than simply summarize. The goal of a literary analysis is to broaden and deepen either our collective understanding of the human condition or our understanding of a work of literature. Your literary analysis essay should convince your reader that your claim is, at the very least, plausible. This kind of argumentation demands tight organization of evidence and authoritative control of the key points in your claim. Your essay must have a central idea, an overarching argument, a claim, or an original thesis. Each paragraph must systematically support the central idea. Your analysis should be written in the active, present tense but the tone, point of view, and structure are entirely up to you to determine. Lastly, because a literary analysis is a critical interpretation of a text you may want to use one or more of the following literary terms to help support your claims: • Character• Allegory• Setting•Plot/Narrative Structure • Point of view• Analogy• Symbol/Symbolism• Imagery • Metaphor • Hyperbole• Connotation • Conflict Using these terms can help create a more authoritative response

conduct a comprehensive summary and analysis of contemporary research in communication.

3. Write a 5 page summary (5 pages of text, this does not include the title or reference page, as per format) of the article using the following format a. Cover/Title page with appropriate information b. Body of the paper structured as follows: APA format source citation at top of page. Double space. Then begin text with the following headings: a.) Purpose and scope of the article (include in this section why the research is important to the field of communication studies) b.) summary of literature review (the literature review is the portion of the article that discusses previous research done on the subject prior to study of the author(s)) c.) summary of research method d.) summary of results e.) summary of article discussion f.) critical analysis of the article 4. In your critical analysis you will want to employ the analysis tools for evaluating good theory building in objectivist and interpretivist research approaches. You will also want to evaluate the quality of the author’s research methods and success in using those methods. This is the most important section of the abstract and, as such, should be the longest section of the abstract – by far. Use the 6 characteristics of good objectivist or interpretivist research discussed in the text. 5. Double space your lines of text. Use 12 point type. Have a 1 inch margin around the page 6. Send in a copy of the article with your abstract. The paper is due by the end of the day on the due date. The paper should be turned in using the assignment’s link under “course documents” in the course Blackboard site. It is your responsibility to make sure that your paper has been received. I do not accept assignments via email.

MY CONCLUSION In 300-500 words share whether or not you believe film has the potential to transform one’s political sensibilities.

I have suggested that we should engage and be engaged by those persons who see and understand the world differently from those who sit comfortably within a dominant we society so that we might (re)imagine or discover a new place for democratic politics. And as film-goers who find ourselves more susceptible emotionally to the stimuli presented in a movie theatre, we can at times experience vicariously, yet deeply, the events, the stories, the lives of those who are different from ourselves. As individuals living in a multicultural and diverse society we should consider opening ourselves up to and welcoming such engagement and the possibilities for personal transformation in our individual sensibilities. Such a transformation might occur when one considers and compares the experiences of his or her life and the impact of those experiences on his or her identity next to those raw materials that make-up or construct the identity(ies) of those who are different from them, specifically those who have been marginalized, disregarded, and silenced by a dominant we society. I have suggested that when one truly sees Other, sees and hears the stories of difference crafted and told by the Other in film, one might come to respect the different voices and stories of those lives and thus allow him or herself to see and experience life from a new position, a transformed sensibility, where politics transcend convention. In other words, when we consider our lives next to those who are different from us, when we frame those different human stories next to our own personal human narrative we may come to understand how a particular human uncertainty and vulnerability informs all of our lives. In 300-500 words share whether or not you believe film has the potential to transform one’s political sensibilities. And if you believe that your personal sensibilities have been (re)shaped or transformed by a particular film, say so. The objective here is to share your thoughts pertaining to the major thesis presented in Democracy and Difference.

Identify two films not presented in class that you believe have the potential to transform one’s political sensibilities pertaining to deep differences.

There are, however, many points of caution in choosing to use film. Films often can reinforce and affirm stereotyped and demeaning images of others; that is, film is as effective a tool for installing as it is for challenging and overcoming oppression. However, as I write in Chapter One, the fictionalized realism of film can allow for a sharing of the different experiences that individuals live through and can serve as a helpful tool to uncover the raw materials that make up our various social or cultural identities. In other words, and more specifically, film and film criticism facilitate the search for a location from which to envision a democratic politics in ways that are respectful of difference and that quite possibly can contribute to the transformation of one’s sensibilities by providing an opportunity to theorize and imagine a new or emerging politics from a position of eyewitness Identify two films not presented in class that you believe have the potential to transform one’s political sensibilities pertaining to deep differences. In addition to your recommendations, be sure to give a full citation and a short abstract for each of the two films you suggest.
