Pick ONE of the essay topics
below for your paper.
1)
One of the central themes found in
“The Lottery,” The Sisterhood of the Night,” and The Village is groupthink. Using at least TWO of these stories or
film to explain how it played a role in each story.
2)
Our class blog has a few articles
about the Salem Witch Hunt and Trials; use those (or other reliable outside
sources on the topic) to compare any similarities you see in “The Sisterhood of
the Night.” It is often referred to as an updated version of the Salem Witch
Hunt. Use examples from the texts along with outside sources to support your
thesis.
3)
Three of the most important symbols
in “The Lottery” are the lottery itself, the black box and Old Man Warner.
Explain how these three symbols have larger meaning within the story.
4)
Discuss
the effects of Magical Stranger in Literature as seen in "The Handsomest
Drowned Man in the World", "The Temp" and Edward Scissorhands. Use at least two of these texts to display how
a “magical stranger” comes into the lives of these people and changes how they
look at themselves.
5)
We also
discussed the importance society places on appearance when discussing "The
Handsomest Drowned Man in the World", "The Temp" and Edward Scissorhands. Use an example from
at least two of these texts to explain how appearance played a role in their
stories while discussing how important it is in today’s world.
AVOID USING DIRECT QUOTES IN YOUR INTRODUCTION OR
CONCLUSION.
Do not retell the story! Analyze and explain your
thesis (which is your main point).
Make sure you get the character’s names right, as
well as the author. It comes off as sloppy if you mix up characters or what
author wrote what.
Read over your work. Have someone else read over
your work. If I wrote on your paper to get help from The Learning Center, do
it! Take your paper with you and they can help you out.
