Top of Form<\/p>\n
Topic<\/p>\n
In her book entitled Rhetorics of Motherhood, Lindal Buchanan states the following: \u201cFeminist examinations of motherhood in public discourse have the potential to unveil the networks of power relations that sustain gender and to disrupt, if only for a moment, the system\u2019s self-presentation as universal or divinely ordained.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the light of this statement, write a comparative essay about mothers and motherhood as represented by two authors (and at least two of their texts) discussed in the course.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Guidelines<\/p>\n
Format: <\/p>\n
The essay should be submitted in WORD format via Turnitin by Wednesday 16 November 2022, by the end of the day (11:59pm).<\/p>\n
The essay should be in the range of 1500-2000 words (UG).<\/p>\n
Approach:<\/p>\n
The analysis should be based on a comparison between two texts by writers discussed in the course. The analysis should follow a literary approach where the comparison involves a discussion of both similarities and differences between the selected texts.<\/p>\n
Structure: (N.B. Check the Guide to Writing Comparative Essays attached.)<\/p>\n
The essay should be structured around a central idea, theme, or argument. The analysis should be done through literary elements. Every statement requires textual evidence.<\/p>\n
The analysis can take a vertical or horizontal shape: <\/p>\n
either divide the essay along the texts\/authors, where you analyse each of the texts separately in a couple of paragraphs, followed by a conclusion that brings them together; <\/p>\n
or divide the essay along aspects\/elements, where you analyse a certain point comparatively in one section of the essay, then move on to the next point in another section; followed by a conclusion that brings all the threads together.<\/p>\n
The general evaluation involves the following:<\/p>\n
1) the clarity of the main idea\/argument.<\/p>\n
2) a comprehensive introduction that addresses the essay topic and includes an accurate thesis statement.<\/p>\n
3) the analysis (explanation of the main ideas\/concepts\/aspects relevant to the texts)<\/p>\n
4) the use of evidence (critical sources relevant to the analysis, but most importantly textual evidence from the primary sources)<\/p>\n
5) the smooth integration of sources and quotations.<\/p>\n
6) the structure of an academic essay: the organisation of the essay along an introduction, analysis, and conclusion; with smooth transitions and a logical flow of ideas.<\/p>\n
7) the accurate use of relevant sources and citations. (MLA Citation System.)<\/p>\n
8) the correct use of language and the coherence and cohesion of style.<\/p>\n
