Literature (poetry and prose) has the capacity to express and even change the culture by encouraging readers to think about society through the lens of a story. 
We see Faulkner teach us about the South through his story set there,
while Fitzgerald exposes us to Europe 
and Steinbeck illuminates life on a farm out West. 
Wartime poets explore the ruinous era in their work 
while with Ginsberg, we learn about the 19500s/60s zietgeist. 
Plath, Lorde, and Sexton expose trials facing women at the dawn of a new era of feminism.

How do writers use their words to create culture and what types of cultures do they create?
Do you find a culture of an American Dream in the works or more of a nightmarish world? 
What makes you decide and how do the authors illustrate that dream or nightmare that is the story of American life in the mid-20th century?
Basic guidelines: 
•    Use a title that both hooks and informs 
•    Make a claim in your introductory paragraph (your thesis): this should be an opinion of yours and should be debatable. 
•    Use strong topic sentences that advance your thesis 
•    Proofread carefully, especially spelling and formatting of titles, authors’ names, characters, etc. One point off for each author or character whose name is incorrectly spelled 
•    Use in text parenthetical citations like this (Fitzgerald, 996); no Works Cited page is needed. 
•    Typed to at least 5 full pages; 6 pages maximum.

The chronic disease I decided to speak about is diabetes. According to WHO, there are about 422 million people worldwide who suffer from diabetes. Diabetes is considered a metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose. This can be extremely dangerous overtime because it can begin to affect the heart, blood vessels, kidneys and your eyes. 



Diabetes have two different types, type 1 and type 2. The most common is type 2 in which the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t make enough insult while type 1 is where your pancreas produces no insulin or little insulin. Type 1 cannot be prevented however you can work to prevent type 2 by early diagnosis and healthy lifestyle choices.

According to The World Health Organization (WHO), 9.6 million people worldwide are estimated to have died from cancer in 2018 causing it to be the second leading cause of death globally. (The World Health Organization) Cancer is a chronic disease (multiple forms) that causes abnormal cells to intensely divide, while destroying body tissue. As the cancer burden continues to grow globally, WHO along with other health organizations work to provide programs and activities to address cancer prevention, management, early detection, and rehabilitation.

The World Health Organization explores a wide range of confirmed interventions to prevent new cancer cases. These interventions include controlling tobacco us, which is responsible for 25% of cancer deaths, vaccinating against hepatitis B to prevent liver cancer, and eliminating cervical cancer by vaccinating against HPV. (The World Health Organization, 2020) Furthermore, WHO works to provide screening and effective treatment, while employing high-impact cancer management interventions with the purpose of strategically controlling the overall disease.

Reader response is a school of literary criticism that focuses on the reader and ignores both the author and the text's content, confining analysis to the reader's experience when reading a particular work 

Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?a

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.b
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,a
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.b
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,c
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;d
And every fair from fair sometime declines,c
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;d
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,e
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,f
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,e
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.f
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,g
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.g

Background:

For this essay, I want you to think about the narrative voices that you've read/heard speaking to a particular topic or theme.  Specifically, consider the ways that Literature opens up a space for people whose voices might not be heard otherwise.  For example, you may want to analyze the way various writers and speakers talk about their access to power, to a quality education, or to meaningful and profitable work; or their vulnerability as a result of poverty/race/religion/etc; or their experience of violence/abuse/oppression/etc.  

Task:

Write a thesis-driven essay analyzing the role and value of Literature in expressing and/or understanding the experiences of marginalized communities.  You should focus on a single literary text (a poem OR a short story),  using your own interpretation and experience, as well as one non-fiction (essays, speeches, videos) source AND one source of your own from the library database.

Suggestions:

Check out this terrible sketch I made of Introduction Paragraphs to see how you can structure yours.  And here is a guide to the Introduction paragraph from another source :-)
Your thesis should make an argument about the value of Literature in the expression and/or understanding of the theme.  
The body of your essay should use specific evidence from the poem/short story to support your claim.
You will need to use the Solano Library databases to find an outside source to strengthen your analysis.  You may want to use JSTOR to find a critical analysis of your poem/story that has already been done.  You could use the OED to dig deeper into the specific language that the author uses.  Or you may want to use one of the reference databases to learn more about a particular event, person, or time period.
Be sure to fully interpret and analyze the examples you pull from the readings; in particular, explore the language, style, form, and/or context (historical, social, political, etc) of the words, phrases, and passages that you draw into your essay and explain the significance to your reader.
You may want to use the conclusion to talk about how you/we benefit from the Literature in this unit OR how this theme/topic fits into your/our experience of the world today.

A bibliography is a list of sources (books, journals, Web sites, periodicals, etc.) one has used for researching a topic. Bibliographies are sometimes called "References" or "Works Cited" depending on the style format you are using. A bibliography usually just includes the bibliographic information (i.e., the author, title, publisher, etc.).
An annotation is a summary and/or evaluation. Therefore, an annotated bibliography includes a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources. THIS PROJECT REQUIRES YOUR ANNOTATIONS INCLUDE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:
Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is. 
Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
Reflect: Once you've summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?
Why should I write an annotated bibliography?
To learn about your topic: Writing an annotated bibliography is excellent preparation for a research project. Just collecting sources for a bibliography is useful, but when you have to write annotations for each source, you're forced to read each source more carefully. You begin to read more critically instead of just collecting information. At the professional level, annotated bibliographies allow you to see what has been done in the literature and where your own research or scholarship can fit. To help you formulate a thesis: Every good research paper is an argument. The purpose of research is to state and support a thesis. So a very important part of research is developing a thesis that is debatable, interesting, and current. Writing an annotated bibliography can help you gain a good perspective on what is being said about your topic. By reading and responding to a variety of sources on a topic, you'll start to see what the issues are, what people are arguing about, and you'll then be able to develop your own point of view.
To help other researchers: Extensive and scholarly annotated bibliographies are sometimes published. They provide a comprehensive overview of everything important that has been and is being said about that topic. You may not ever get your annotated bibliography published, but as a researcher, you might want to look for one that has been published about your topic.
The Annotated Bibliography is due Week 10 of the course must contain a minimum of ten (10) references that are being utilized for the final project.
