What Is the What, By Dave Eggers Assignment Rough Draft needed ASAP
Requirements:
Length: 4-5 pages, 12 point Times New Roman, double-spaced, MLA format required
Audience: Your audience, for this paper, is me, your professor. This means that you will not need to summarize/walk me through everything that happens in the book. I know and am very familiar with this book. Rather, you will make claims, support them with evidence, and then explain/expand on those ideas.
Tone: You will, of course, utilize an academic (college-level) and professional tone in this paper. You will not use “I” (or personal experience) in this paper.
Evidence/using What Is the What: It does not matter if you choose Choice #1 or Choice #2—you will pull from WITW throughout this paper (i.e. in every body paragraph).
MLA format and citations (in-text and Works Cited) are required
Choose ONE of the following options:
Choice #1:
For this choice, you would focus more on one ISSUE that arises from the book (e.g. UN refugee policy, the U.S. refugee resettlement process, refugees and access to education (in camps and/or in United States), the current situation in South Sudan, the role of child soldiers in war, trauma therapy/recovery, etc., etc.)
For this option, you need to have at least two secondary sources. Most likely, these sources would be either from a newspaper or from an ACADEMIC JOURNAL (go back to Academic Search Complete, like Paper #1). You must ensure that each source is CREDIBLE (e.g. written by a government professor, a sociologist/psychologist, a historian, is filled with reputable statistics, etc.). For Choice #1, your secondary source will probably NOT mention Eggers or What Is the What at all; rather, you’d find a source that focuses on/analyzes your “issue” (see above).
Choice #2:
You can treat this paper/assignment more of a LITERARY ANALYSIS (similar to Paper #2). For this choice, you would focus on a prominent THEME (or message) you think Dave Eggers is trying to convey in/throughout the book. Moreover, you will focus on his Dave Eggers’s narrative/literary choices. You will analyze HOW (narrative choices, literary devices, etc.) Eggers chooses to reveal that specific theme.
For this option, you only need one secondary source; you would consult literary criticism (via the database Literature Resource Center, JSTOR, or a book review from a credible source). For Choice #2, your secondary source WILL be predominantly about the BOOK and/or Eggers’s style, narrative techniques, literary devices, etc.
