  • “Contrasting Writing Styles in Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” and Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried””

    200 words discussion.
    In Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” and Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried,”  it is clear both authors have very different writing styles.  A writing style is the way a writer chooses to express himself or herself in text.
    – Alice Walker uses a great deal of detail and closely defines the setting and the characters through the use of powerful adjectives and vivid descriptions.   
    – By contrast, Tim O’Brien provides details in the form of a list.  That list carries the narrative of the short story forward.  In other words, the listing tells the story. 
    – Discuss how Alice Walker’s use of detail and description contrasts with Tim O’Brien’s use of listing as storytelling.
    – Give examples of both styles of writing from the short stories.  Avoid using direct “quotes;” summarize or paraphrase the examples in your own words.  
    – Lastly, determine if one writing style is more effective than the other and why –  in your opinion.
    – Be sure to write full sentences and paragraphs. Please do not bullet point, or shorthand, your  response.
    – As noted above, please do not incorporate “quotes” from the works. These short, discussion responses should be 100% your own words and analysis.

  • The Power of Words: An Analysis of “The Book with No Pictures” as an Innovative and Effective Modern Children’s Book



    English 156: Children’s Literature
    Research Paper: The Book with No Pictures
    Length and Format: This essay must be a minimum of two pages typed and double spaced in 12
    point, Times New Roman font. The essay also needs to have a title.
    Topic: The Book With No Pictures is a funny read-aloud experience for young children that may also inspire readers to rethink the power of the written word and the nature of the children’s book itself.
    The questions The Book with No Pictures implicitly asks include:
    •How do children’s books work?
    •Is it surprising to read a book with no pictures at all? •Why was this book able to be funny even without pictures?
    Your research question: Is The Book with No Pictures an innovative and effective modern children’s book. Why or why not?
    Your research paper should consist of five parts:
    1.
    2.
    3.
    Introduction: Your introduction should prepare the reader for what’s to come and follow all the conventions of a standard introduction, including an overview of the general topic, an explanation of the research question, and your response to that research question.
    Review of the Literature: You must review three critical articles provided to you from The New York Times, Children’s Writer’s Guild, and The Guardian in your review of the literature. A good review of the literature provides an overview of what others have said about the topic, but in your own voice and your own words. The review of the literature prepares your reader to make sense of your own original argument.
    Close Reading Analysis: The close reading analysis is the most important part of your research paper. This is your own original interpretation of the primary text, The Book with No Pictures, to make your larger point about whether The Book with No Pictures is or is not an innovative and effective modern children’s book. In literary criticism, close reading is the careful, sustained interpretation of a brief passage of a book. A close reading emphasizes the particular over the general through close attention to individual words, sentences, pictures, and fonts, and the ways in which the those words, sentences, fonts, and images unfold ideas. At this point, you should draw your analysis entirely from The Book with No Pictures, without any reference to outside sources. If this is your first time doing close reading, I recommend you read this short primer: https://writingcenter.fas.harvard.edu/pages/how- do-close-reading
