Prompts

The two books for the class are authored by a man and a woman.  There focus points are very different.  We might first think this is because of their upbringing, their region, any number of factors, but let’s focus on the difference between men and women, asking what accounts for this difference and why?

Asking this question should have you headed to the library and finding books by experts in the field who write about this difference.  Please no website citations here without a name.  I want you to look into the writer’s credentials.  What makes them and expert, promotes their way of thinking.

Now having educated yourself on these differences with the thoughts and opinions of experts, read Beattie and Thompson asking after their differences and how their sex informs their point of view and how this in turn means things in what they tell and present us.  What are they saying about themselves and their side of the sex ledger?

With the above in mind, examine a sampling of Thompson’s poems as well as a story by Beattie.  You may select the pieces you think are best in making your point, arguing and creating a thesis you wish to prove by developing your point with the primary texts and sources.

Your essay should pose an argument for your way of thinking about how sex informs the works read.  You want to state your argument and then use the primary texts (Thompson and Beattie) as well as secondary texts (the sources you researched on sex) in developing your argument, providing support for your thesis.  Throughout your essay, you should add commentary on how what you argue for changes the reading of the authors here and then at the end offer advice as to how this way of thinking informs the readers’ lives as well.
