CHOOSE ONLY ONE PROMPT.
This is NOT a research paper. Material from outside sources—even if it is properly cited—is NOT acceptable in this reflection paper .
Your argument should be developed based on our readings, our discussions and on your understanding and opinions of the text(s). It is perfectly fair to take ideas from class notes, journal entries, and your quiz responses. These are designed to prepare you to write this paper and the final exam.
It is also perfectly fair and very much recommended to get help from the Writing Center. Effective use of the Writing Center can be a valuable part of your learning experience. This is especially the case for those coming from other language backgrounds.
For full points, your essay will:
*have a main idea that is clearly set out in the first paragraph. This main idea will show me what you are trying to prove in the rest of the essay.
*have three or four body paragraphs, each of which uses details from the texts to develop one point in support of the main idea.
*use parenthetical and MLA citation. See my document: “Citing Our Texts” up on Blackboard.
*include a final concluding paragraph.
Your paper should be set up in this way:
*spell checked
*12 point type; Times New Roman font
*centered title
*name, date, section and word count in upper left-hand corner.
*use parenthetical citation
*Works Cited page following MLA style. You can see how to cite our reading from my file: Citing class readings.
All papers are passed through the Blackboard Safe Assign function which shows material taken from websites. (Note that papers that can be purchased, usually plagiarize.) Safe Assign also flags papers that have previously been submitted at BMCC and other colleges. It is plagiarism to use another person’s paper, even if they give permission. Plagiarized papers fail with no chance of make-up.
Do your own work. If you do not receive the grade you want, I can suggest how you can revise for improved points. Solid work on the Reflection Paper will prepare you for a strong grade on the Final Exam.
All papers must be uploaded as a file on Blackboard. Scroll down to the invitation to attach files.
PROMPTS: CHOOSE ONE -REMEMBER THAT YOUR ESSAY MUST MAKE ONE MAIN POINT AND IT MUST SUPPORT THAT POINT WITH AN ARGUMENT THAT RELIES UPON DETAILS TAKEN FROM THE TEXT. QUOTE AT LEAST ONCE FROM EACH STORY MENTIONED. CITE PROPERLY. GIVE A WORKS CITED PAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR ESSAY.
*In an essay, agree or disagree with this statement: the female coming-of-age stories in Kincaid, Cisneros and Kingston show that there are similar concerns across cultures. (Be sure to give your own definition of the coming-of-age story as it pertains to young women.)
*Agree or disagree with this statement: The pull of family—that is, the concern about responsibility to family– is the main theme of the works we have studied of both Diaz and Kingston.
*Drawing upon the works of Cisneros, Diaz and Kingston, agree or disagree with this statement: Loss of –or confusion about–identity is a central problem faced by immigrants to this country. Be sure to define what you mean by “identity.”
*Erdrich uses the red convertible as a symbol throughout her story. Meanwhile, it can be argued that Kingston uses the figure of the aunt symbolically. In an essay and using details from the works, compare and contrast how these symbols are used.
*Agree or Disagree with this statement: “Both Diaz and Erdich have written male coming-of-age stories.” (Be sure to give your own definition of the coming-of-age story as it pertains to males.)
