500 words for lesson 3 and 500 words for lesson 4 (1000 words total). NO PLAGIARISM ACCEPTED!

Lesson 3

Mainstream Realism

James, “Daisy Miller” (C410-50)

Question: Take a position on Daisy’s character, without using “I.” Do you see her as a vulgarian who corrupts high standards of culture OR is she simply a naive girl corrupted by European decadence? What evidence makes a reader feel either way?

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: STRONG OPENING THESIS, DEVELOPMENT (500 words), SUPPORT (quotations), OBJECTIVE TONE (No “I” or “we”). MAKE SURE YOU RESPOND TO MY COMMENTS ON THE MONDAY/WEDNESDAY AFTER POSTS ARE DUE.

Due Oct 26

Lesson 4

African-American Realism

Chestnutt, “The Passing of Grandison” (C749-61)

Dunbar, from Lyrics of Lowly Life (C1093-1101)

Harris, from Uncle Remus (C508-11)

Question: Apply the point of “We Wear the Mask” to Charles Chestnutt’s “The Passing of Grandison.” In what ways does the slave stereotype empower the African-American character of this generation?
