For this essay, it is on the novel, Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. The prompt for this essay is “examine how water is used as a symbol in the novel. How does the narrator use water as a symbol to establish theme?”

Formulate a sensitizing idea or hypothesis — a way of conceptualizing the observations and experiences you wish to relate. a. Cite where you got the idea, or if it is original, what extant idea or framework it is similar or related to. Use the materials we have read, supplemental reading materials, and library resoures. Ragin and Amoroso give many examples of the concepts that guide inquiry when they illustrate points in their chapter on qualitative research strategies. By now, we have learned that theory and method go together, like a horse and carriage. b. State your idea in a way that sets up your project. 2. Describe the setting where you gathered your observations or gained your experiences. This is a methodology section in the sense that you tell how it is that you know what you know. You may gather novel observations in a public setting, or you may rely on recollections of experiences. If you use recollections, you should be specific about the context in which you had the experiences — where, when, how, etc. 3. Relate or document your observations or experiences. You may follow whatever organization you think is appropriate to your particular project. If you are observing, then organize your observations according principles or rules, or some other conceptual format that allows you to “classify” what you (Ragin and Amoroso give many examples in the chapter on qualitative research). Or, you may prefer to use a narrative approach. 4. Relate the concepts or sensitizing ideas to the documents. Sometimes it is easier to integrate steps 3 and 4. It all depends on your conceptual framework and the type of documents you are using. 5. Draw out an insight, make a concluding statement or otherwise finish-up your paper with a BIG idea. There are several journals that specialize in publishing qualitative research. You might want to spend a little time browsing them for examples you can follow. My suggestions are Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, Symbolic Interaction, and Qualitative Sociology Note: If choose to collect observations of public life or use recollections of your experiences in public, report only those activities that take place in the public realm. Follow Lyn Lofland’s definition of a public realm: “those areas of urban settlements in which individuals in copresence tend to be personally unknown and only categorically know to one another … the public realm is made up of those spaces in a city which tend to be inhabited by persons who are strangers to one another or who ‘know’ one another only in terms of occupations or other nonpersonal identity categories (for example, bus driver -customer” (Lofland, Lyn, The Public Realm: Exploring the City’s Quintessential Social Territory, page 9). This means that you observe and report only those activities that are public. In public, people have a reasonable expectation that they may be observed. You must not report names or offer any information that could identity a person or group. In general, a reader of your report should not be able to recognize individual identity. Place identity, or at least an accurate descriptions of places, may be important for providing context for you report, but you may prefer to use made up names of places to ensure the public nature of your observations. Confidentially can be ensured by limiting your observations to what happens in the public realm, and by interpreting these interactive encounters from the perspectives of abstract concepts of the public realm.
CONSIDERATIONSAND EVALUATIONThere are three key things to consider when designing and implementing your project: audience, affordances of your chosen medium, and interventionwith course materials.Since many formats for the project may leave some or much of these considerations implicit, itis recommended that students include some written information separatefrom the projectproductthat explains what sorts of decisions were made with respect to audience, affordances, and intervention(e.g. a paragraph ina document accompanying your submission).(1) Audience:who is your target audience?What other audiences mightview or hear your product. In other words, who might be auditors, overhearers, eavesdroppers? How haveyour choice of medium and the content of your project(e.g. how academic/ technical your content is) responded to your identified audiences?(2)Affordances:how does your selected medium for your project shape the possibilities for communication and the probable ways that audiences might engage with your project? How was your choice of medium related to your target audience? Are there any ways that your selected medium has limited what you were able to accomplish with your project?(3) Intervention:how does your project’s intervention connect to course materials and key theories about language and social justice? If you have chosen for these theories to remain implicit in your final product, why did you make this choice? Be as specific as possible about which theories, which aspects of which theories, and where you got this information from.Students will be evaluated primarily in terms of how each project addresses these three considerationsin the final product and/or in an accompanying document. If these considerations are primarily addressed in theaccompanying document, it needs tobe fairly clear to mehow the accompanying document is connected to the final product (in other words, if a student writes a great accompanying document but that document has nothing to do with the final product, the student will not have earned a high mark on the project).The evaluation is holistic and fairly subjective and there is no rubric for this assignment beyond this information. Try not to worry too much about evaluation, please also source this book does not include the other 4 sources (Avineri, Netta, Laura R. Graham, Eric J. Johnson, Robin Conley Riner, and Jonathan Rosa (eds.). (2019). Language and Social Justice in Practice. New York: Routledge.[LSJ]

Two of the following questions will appear on the exam. You will have to answer them both. Be sure to read each question carefully and answer all parts of the question. You response should be a well-written, carefully thought out response to the issues raised. This is a formal piece of college-level writing and will be graded as such. (9 points each) Discuss the impact that European contact with the Americas had on Native American life. Reference at least two specific civilizations or tribes in your response. Describe how slavery developed and entrenched itself in the British North American colonies. Include a discussion of how racial ideologies developed. Compare and contrast the different standards of living, political participation, and economic development generally in the southern British colonies versus the northern ones in the 1600s. Did these differences continue into the 1700s? While historians long argued that the abundance of free land and the egalitarian nature of the frontier encouraged the development of democratic institutions, evidence to the contrary exists. Discuss and evaluate this statement. Include in your discussion the colonial need for land and labor and how that need was met.
Step 1: Choose a theme, such as gender issues, generational conflict, identity, freedom, war, heroism, love vs duty, power, etc. Step 2: Compare and contrast how the theme is interpreted, critiqued, and/or re-envisioned in two films. One of the films must be a film we have watched in the course; the second film may be a film of your choice but should be an American (or foreign) film that is widely-available and well-known to US audiences.In your paper, you should focus on how the films use cinematic and narrative techniques to emphasize themes, develop characters and their relationships, or critique the society in which the films were created. Overall, your goal is to develop an argument about how the films construct the theme and why the films interpret the theme as they do. Focus on having a strong thesis statement, a well-organized paper with clear topic sentences for each paragraph, and a conclusion that sums up your paper First Movie selection ·Kontroll = Control (2003, Director Nimród Antal.
