Last week we talked about some of the themes that appear often in the short stories and poems of Langston Hughes including dreams both realized and deferred, and the meaning of home. In “Home” and “Passing,” we encountered each of these themes in different ways. For your first short answers paper, write about these themes in “Home” and “Passing.” Answer the following questions about “Home” in two paragraphs of seven-to-nine sentences each: 1) In Langston Hughes’ short story “Home,” what dream of Roy’s was realized? What dream was deferred? (Note that this answer is ONE paragraph.) 2) What is the meaning of home for Roy in Langston’s Hughes’ short story, “Home”? Answer the following questions about “Passing” in two paragraphs of seven-to-nine sentences each: 3) In Langston Hughes’ short story “Passing,” what dream of Jack’s was realized? What dream was deferred? (Note that this answer is ONE paragraph.) 4) What is the meaning of home for Jack in Langston Hughes’ short story, “Passing”? ************************************************************************ · You MUST support your answers with at least one quote from the story per answer, and you must analyze the quote to prove your point. The quote or quotes are the evidence you’re providing to support your claims about Roy and Jack’s dreams realized and deferred and the meaning of home for each of them. · Quotes have to be in quotation marks and they MUST be introduced by a signal phrase or seamlessly included in a sentence. Quotes that aren’t introduced with a signal phrase are called “dropped quotes,” something you want to avoid at all costs. I will post some links to pages that show how to avoid dropped quotes in Announcements. · You MUST include the page number from the stories after the quote, like this: For Roy, “home” was where his mother lived, but it was also the place where, “for the first time in half a dozen years he felt his color” (37).Notice how the quote flows with the sentence. Notice that the period comes after the parenthesis with the page number. · Do not refer to Langston Hughes by his first name: he’s not your friend. You should introduce him by his first name the first time you refer to him in each answer, and after that you should use his last name or you may call him “Mr. Hughes” (without the quotation marks). · You should begin each answer by writing something along the lines of this: In the short story “Home,” Langston Hughes tells the story of… or In the short story “Passing,” Langston Hughes tells the story of… · Copy and paste the question with your answer (there is a model paper on page four for you to follow). · All work must be double-spaced in Times New Roman 12 font (there is a model paper on page four for you to follow). · All pages must be numbered on the bottom right. · The title of your paper should NOT be bolded, italicized, underlined, written in all capital letters, or in quotation marks (there is a model paper on page four for you to follow). · The paper must have an original title. In other words, you have to come up with your title: calling your paper “Home” or “Passing” or “Short Answers Paper 1” isn’t acceptable. You also can’t use the title I have on page four. · The paper must include the proper heading (there is a model paper on page four for you to follow). · All paragraphs must be indented (there is a model paper on page four for you to follow). · You must number your answers (there is a model paper on page four for you to follow). · Check your spelling and proofread your work for typos. · You will lose points if the “B” in “Black” isn’t capitalized. · You will receive a 0 if the assignment isn’t followed with NO chance to rewrite/resubmit. · If the format that’s laid out in these instructions isn’t followed, you will receive a 0 with no chance to resubmit. · You will lose points if your paragraphs are less then seven sentences long, and if your sentences aren’t written at the level of a first or second-year college student. Short Answers Paper 1 is worth 25 points: 5 points for Question 1 5 points for Question 25 points for Question 3 5 points for Question 4 5 points for the heading, title, and page numbers · Short Answers Paper 1 is due by 11:59 pm on Monday, 14 March via Blackboard. NO LATE PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED. NO PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED VIA EMAIL. · If you have any questions or concerns about this assignment, please email me immediately or come to office hours so I can address them with you.
