In a 2-3 page paper, compare and contrast two readings that we have read so far. The point of this paper is to invite you to think comparatively about how scholars have approached the big question that animates this course: What does it mean that the black woman is positioned as \u201cwayward,” that is, in opposition to the normative? As you write this paper, your main goal is to demonstrate what new or compelling insights we gain from comparing these two writers\u2019 approaches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some questions to explore as you make this argument are:<\/p>\n
\u2022 What significant similarities or differences do you find in their approaches? Are they in different disciplines, do they use different types of evidence, is the form that their writing takes different in any significant way?<\/p>\n
\u2022 Are they directly \u201cin conversation?\u201d By this I mean, does one of them cite the other? If so, how do you see the influence of one scholar\u2019s work on the other?<\/p>\n
\u2022 Do they cite any of the same sources? If so, is their treatment or interpretation of these sources similar or does it differ in an important way?<\/p>\n
\u2022 If they are writing about different locations or time periods, what might we learn by contrasting their accounts of black womanhood?<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This list is a starting point but is by no means exhaustive. You may find other points of comparison on which to center your essay.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Papers will be evaluated on:<\/p>\n
\u2022 A cohesive thesis statement which explains what you learned from considering these two texts alongside each other. For these types of papers, don\u2019t worry about setting up a fancy introduction. You have limited space so jump right into your thesis statement!<\/p>\n
\u2022 Development of the thesis with clear examples from the texts cited throughout your essay.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Insight which demonstrates your own engagement of the texts outside class and in our in-class discussions.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Proper formatting (12 pt. font, 1 inch margins, double-spaced)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Proper citation (APA, MLA, or Chicago. I HAVE ATTACHED BELOW BOTH OF THE AUTHORS WHOS WORK I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IN THIS ESSAY *****<\/p>\n
