  Analysis of Nick Flynn’s Writing Style and My Imitation

  $35.00

  Imitation and Analysis
  

  1. Imitation (3-4 pages)

  For this assignment, you will be narrating your own childhood memory imitating the style of Nick Flynn’s prose. You must imitate at least three stylistically different sections from the book.

  Though the content will be your own, you should use your examples to inform decisions about subject, grammar, and style. You will want to look very closely at specific sections in order to replicate their effects. You might want to exaggerate certain elements of style in order to illustrate the choices Flynn makes.

  You should pay close attention to all elements of the writer’s style, including purpose, form, subject, syntax, punctuation, sentence structures, rhythm, diction, tone, description, specificity, connotation, and so on.

  Your imitation should include a specific event that is described in the first person. It should also reflect your personal interpretation of the book by Flynn. Whatever elements stand out as to you as being unique to him would be a good thing to try to imitate. It’s your decision how closely you want to imitate Flynn: you could take a few specific sentences and change a few elements to reflect your experience and sensibilities, or you could write a completely original story in the general style of the writer using elements that he seems to use often. You should imitate whatever stands out to you as being interesting. Consider elements of content (such as subject and mood) as well as elements of form (such as grammatical structures and word choice).

  1. Analysis (2-4 pages)

  Using unified, coherent, well-developed paragraphs and grammatical and effective sentences, write an analysis discussing both the original essays and your imitations of them. Quote the passages you are discussing (don’t be afraid to quote yourself). Include highly specific references to particular elements (such as those listed above) that you noticed in the original and tried to convey in your imitation.

  Address all the following considerations in an essay form:

  • What stylistic choices did Flynn make? Were these effective? How?
  • Do you feel Flynn’s style is compatible with the stories he tells?
  • What is the relationship between the style of the memoir and its content?
  • Did writing in different styles cause you to make choices you might not have made otherwise? Explain.
  • What did it feel like to write in this way?
  • Do you feel you were successful in your imitation? To what extent?
  • How did writing in this style influence the content of what you wrote?
  • Could you have done a better job if you were free to use your own, or a different, style?
  • What did you learn about your own writing from this assignment?

  To be a Genre: Doctorow’s For the Win

  $20.00

  To be a Genre

  Purpose
  To apply your awareness and understanding of a given text’s relationship to the conventions of its genre and to use that insight to produce an analysis of the rhetorical work the text is doing through genre.

  Assignment
  Identify the genre, genre features, and genre conventions applicable to Doctorow’s For the Win. (Pro Tip: Revisit the chapter on genre in AGWR, the readings on what YA is and does that we recently engaged with, and previous discussion posts to help you get started.) Then write an argument in which you explain the relationship of this text to its genre, and what implications can be drawn from that relationship and the rhetorical work Doctorow undertakes with this novel.
  Successfully engaging with genre analysis work like this will often require explaining how a rhetor acknowledges, uses, manipulates, and responds to genre conventions in the given text, and for what implied purpose and/or message.
  For example, consider whether the text follows genre conventions or if it only appears to follow genre expectations while in reality challenging them. If this is the case, what might the rhetor be implicitly trying to say or accomplish through the text? Consider what YA literature as a genre might aim to do and how it might aim to accomplish those goals; in what ways do we see FTW taking on those goals/strategies or not?
  While secondary sources beyond the text you are analyzing may not be required, you are still responsible for supporting your argument through careful selection and thorough analysis of textual evidence (specific excerpts from the text you are analyzing).

  Requirements
  A successful argument of this sort will often require 3-4 pages of recorded brain work, typed and double-spaced, and presented in MLA format. Multiple drafts of the essay will be required, and substantial revision is expected. We will talk more about revising/editing on your own and with your class community. Secondary sources are not required, but as the author, you may make the rhetorical choice to include them if they will strengthen your essay. The writing should be error-free and the language in the tone of formal academic discourse.

  Book Essay: The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down

  $15.00

  For the book essay for The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down please pick 1 question from Group 1 and one question from Group 2 to answer. Provide at least 1 page each answers. Be sure to cite the book and course materials.

  Group 1

  1. The only American who fully won the Lees’ trust was Jeanine Hilt, their social worker. Why did Jeanine succeed where so many others had failed?

  2. Neil Ernst says, “I felt it was important for these Hmongs to understand that there were certain elements of medicine that we understood better than they did and that there were certain rules they had to follow with their kids’ lives.” Why didn’t this message get through to the Lees? If you were Neil, would you feel this way too? Is this an ethnocentric attitude? Why or why not?

  3. In Chapter Eight, after describing Foua’s competence as a mother and farmer in Laos, Fadiman quotes her as saying, “I miss having something that really belongs to me.” What has Foua lost? Is there anything that still “really belongs” to her? Are there other groups we have discussed that have experience similar loss?

  4. In her preface, the author says that while she was working on this book, she often asked herself two questions: “What is a good doctor?” “What is a good parent?” How do you think she might have answered her own questions? How would you answer them? How is each identity constructed by each group. Which social construction is taken more seriously in the United States? Why?

  5. What was the “role loss” many adult Hmong faced when they came to the United States? What is the underlying root cause? How does this loss affect their adjustment to America?

  Group 2

  1. How do you think the issues raised by this book should affect your education at Purdue and/or your life as a citizen today?

  2. What relevance does this book have to your potential career (i.e., medicine, health, law, social work, politics, religion, communications, education, linguistics)? In the context of your future career, how do you think you would handle similar situations, if faced with them?
