Modernists, by and large, were concerned with renovating literature. Nevertheless, they have very interesting relationships to the past. How does the past appear in Modernism? How do they change it? Use three stories to support your argument.
- Description
You will write an argumentative essay in which you develop, support, and provide evidence to a well-developed thesis responding to the topics below.
Remember that in any paper you write, you will try to persuade the reader of your point. To do this you must exercise the three appeals: logos, pathos, and ethos. Similarly, persuasion will require you to take a stand, so be sure to have a strong thesis that encourages the reader to adopt your point of view.
In order to support your paper, you must support your arguments with direct quotations. Unsupported statements weaken your argument. Failure to support your statements with direct quotations, even where you show proper knowledge of the material, will not result in a passing grade.
The paper will be 1500 words and will be turned in no later than on the due date in class. I will not read late assignments, but I will be very available to you until then. If you need Office Hours let me know.
