Final Paper Proposal
I would like to discuss Jewish literature and its influence on today’s American literature as my final paper proposal. Jewish literatures are works created by Jews on various Jewish themes, the most famous ancient Jewish literature is known as Biblical literature and rabbinic literature. As lectured in the class,the foundation of Jewish literature has produced with the modern emergence of secular Modern Jewish culture. Modern Jewish literature is included with Israeli literature, Yiddish literature and Jewish American literature. I will be more focusing on the Jewish American literature as my topic and main discussion in final paper. In the final paper, I am going to analyze some influential American Jewish literature masterpieces and discuss what impacts have these literatures made on American culture and how those literature change the todays’ Jewish culture mainstreams.
The reason I am planningto choose Jewish literature as my topic is that I believe Jewish literature has become an indispensable part of modern American literature in many ways. Not only Jewish literaturesachieve many accomplishments in literary circle, but also provide a significant platform to let readers, other religions to learn the Jewish culture in an opening and public way. And through class readings, like “Hear my story” written by Michael Garbutt, I think Jewish culture does not only represent for Jews or Jewish culture, instead it stands for many other immigrants from all over the world and reveals lots of common cultural problems including assimilation, redemption and border existence.
The discussion of Jewish literature is quite appropriate topic as the final paper. The lecture this semestermainly covers the most aspects of Jewish identity that includes culture, tradition, food, behaviors and lots of other things. Jewish literature can be viewed as portrayal of Jewish culture. Admittedly, Jewish literate has its own special values that is the other social ideology can no the replaced, which makes us not able to ignore and underestimate the role of Jewish literature in society.
