The questions:

Discuss this in depth and show your knowledge of both the lecture and story in your answer. (Show your learning.)
2) Where/how does Akaky get his sense of worth? Show your knowledge of the story and character in your answer.
3) Relating the story to the world as you know it; where/how do we get our own sense of worth nowadays?
4) How is Akaky’s afterlife as a vengeful ghost different than his actual life? Describe and discuss.
Remember to use your knowledge from the lecture and the text to deepen your answer, and to use MLA rules to format the title and any quotations. Dig deep!

For this paper, be sure to articulate a clear claim as a thesis, suggest what is at stake in your thesis, offer supporting claims in each supporting paragraph and support those claims with specific evidence from the text that you analyze in detail, showing how the evidence bears out your claim and, ultimately, your thesis. You will also be asked to integrate a secondary or additional primary source from our edition of Frankenstein. Please use MLA formatting. This paper should be at least 3 pages long.
For this assignment, you will be writing a “lens” essay using a primary or secondary source from our edition of Frankenstein. Read your selection with an eye to the idea, fact, concept, or other information that will help us to understand the novel better or in a new light. Then, apply that idea, fact, concept, or information to a reading of a specific passage or two from the novel. How do we see the passage(s) differently or better, thanks to the lens source?

Or, if you choose one of the critical essays, such as Anne K. Mellor’s “Possessing Nature: The Female in Frankenstein” (pgs. 355-368), you would want to identify a significant claim made by the critic; then, use that claim to generate your own observations about Frankenstein. What does that claim help you to see new or differently in the novel? Use the idea you draw from this secondary source to reinterpret or interpret more deeply some aspect of the novel. In doing so, you’ll want to analyze, in detail, a relevant passage or passages from the novel.
When you write the paper, you should devote one or two of the early supporting paragraphs to giving a concise account of the source you’ve selected as the lens and of the claim, concept, fact, interpretation, or context it provides to your argument. Be sure to quote and cite as necessary, even with this material. Then, use the rest of the paper to apply that claim, concept, etc. to specific passages from the novel, showing how the lens helps us to understand those passages better or differently. Remember to keep the big picture in mind: don’t get lost in reinterpreting a random assortment of passages, but instead be working towards supporting a thesis claim about the ways in which the lens helps us to understand some aspect of the novel, such as the monster’s character, the role of women, ideas about science, etc.

Appendix A. When reviewing each problem, the following questions should be considered:
1. What possible tasks are required?
2. What you will need to complete the problem?
3. What formulas will you need?
4. What resources from this competency might you reference to successfully complete this problem?
5. Think about possible plans of action for what steps you will take—what strategies will you use to tackle each
problem?

Remember to choose one, and you should only agree or disagree (not both). You will develop an a argumentative paragraph of 150 words developing two or three points to support your position.
Remember your paragraph should use the following structure: topic sentence, point 1 (plus explanation and example), point 2 1 (plus explanation and example), point 3 1 (plus explanation and example), concluding sentence. You can check the example we saw during our class to. Also, don’t forget to divide your ideas up using full stops.

Imagine that you are an inhabitant of a nineteenth-century metropolis. You find yourself with a day of leisure, and have been given one free pass to any site of display–an amusement, exhibition, space. How will you spend your free pass?

Describe the nature of the visual experience at this venue, reconstructing the scene from primary source materials. Then, respond to the following questions based upon your knowledge of the cultures of exhibition of the period.

*What compels you to choose this venue or event over others?

*How is it a particularly visual experience?

*What sort of people are you likely to encounter there? How does social class figure in the composition of the audience?

*Do you, as a viewer, participate in the display that you have visited? If so, how?

You may use the first-person if you feel it is the most appropriate way to articulate your response.

Resources

To help you locate a particular venue, you will use the Victorian Popular Culture database, to which the University subscribes. This database contains many thousands of objects, images, and texts pertaining to the vibrant culture of exhibition in this period.

Go to the database, and log in with your UTORid credentials: http://www.victorianpopularculture.amdigital.co.uk.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/Contents/Index.aspx?ks=trueLinks to an external site.
You can search or browse until you find something that seems interesting, strange, beautiful, or repellant.
Using at least one, and no more than three, of these sources, reconstruct the venue that you will visit.
You may combine information about the venue gathered from several different primary sources to build up a fuller picture of that venue.

Rules

You should submit your paper electronically via Quercus. Please do not email it to us, as this tends to overload email inboxes. Use a reasonable typeface and 12-point font size. Target length is 5 pages, double-spaced.

You are not required to cite material outside of the primary sources, but if you choose to, you must do so using one of the standard citation systems.
