I have attached below a prospectus assignment (Healthly Normative Mourning as Expressed in Elegies) whats wrong with is that the direct textual evidence is the analysis is far too general. it explains rather than engages. Plus,the explanation does not take into consideration the resarch topic question. they make an argument for the experience rather than for the elegy, which is where your focus needs to be.that needs to be rewritten and edited. It lacks critical analysis of chosen texts. Instead, you paraphrase the texts. Also, when talking about direct textual evidence from the texts, you can’t assume what it shows, pay attention to the language of the quote and explain how it shows healthy normative mourning. you must read all attachments. Please read instructions thoroughly. The topic that I want you to write about is: discuss the “healthy,
normative mourning” and/or “melancholic mourning” these elegies perform. Be sure to
avoid making a checklist of conventions. You must make interpretive claims, considering
the generic expectation. You must create a research question based on this topic. The primary sources I want you to talk about is Meghan O’Rourkes Elegy the Long Goodbye(the long goodbye memoir attached pdf), and Ariel Levy’s Thanksgiving in Mongolia(7)(1) pdf attached. Then you will use Sigmund Freuds Mourning and melancholia( pdf (2) (3) attached) for the secondary source, also Peter Sacks introduction parts 1&2 PDF attached. You will need to use JSTOR to find another secondary source since I need 3. https://www.jstor.org/ I have also attached my attempt of doing this assignment, and what edits my teacher needs me to make so please view (Skyla Prospectus Draft and Screenshot 7) to see my professor’s comments and what to avoid to do in this assignment. Follow the exact instructions of the assignment in the pdf attached below called final prospectus assignment. Follow exact instructions thoroughly or money will not be released. Must be like this and view and read attachments below. Follow what my professor needs thank you. The exact instructions are this: How to write a prospectus A research prospectus usually acts as the first step in producing a major research project. Its intent is to convince a supervisor or academic committee that your topic and approach are sound. This type of work is done in all fields of research: humanities as well as sciences. Research Prospectus An academic research prospectus is expected to contain these elements: o A title. o A rationale for the choice of topic, showing why it is important or useful within the concerns of the discipline in which you are writing. For our case, write one paragraph about why your proposal is valuable to our class, its discussions, reading list, etc. Please note: This should probably be the last item you write, though it appears first. o An outline of your intended approach or methodology, including your critical inquiry (what is the research question you are exploring?), analyses, and choice of citations. This is the lengthiest and most involved part of your prospectus. Treat this as a fleshed-out outline, or a mini draft, with complete thoughts and complete sentences. “I will complicate my claim that…with these quotations: etc.” Here is where you would also demonstrate some of the analytical work you will perform in the essay proper. Don’t merely supply quotes as evidence. Analyze at least two of the quotes you provide (don’t explain them), and articulate how you see them contextualizing a conversation between your primary texts. o An annotated bibliography: Here you need to articulate how your project will work with existing scholarship. For this prospectus, you must annotate at least three secondary sources, though two of the secondary sources can be texts we’ve read in class. At least one of the secondary sources must be discovered through your own independent research, and it must be a scholarly article/text (use the QC library’s online resources), which means it must be peer reviewed. You will briefly paraphrase each of the three sources, then discuss in two or three sentences how these sources relate to your project or why they are useful to your exploration. For this assignment, you will write on two or more of the elegies we’ve read this semester. I’ve posted a list of potential topics in the Weekly Schedule (Week 15).Keep in mind: a topic is not a research question. You would need to turn your topic into a research question. Your annotated bibliography should have at least three secondary sources, two of which may be secondary sources we’ve already read and discussed (Freud’s “Mourning and Melancholia”, for example). At least one of your secondary sources should come from your own independent research. You must use MLA formatting. The word document 2021-12-1 eng243 research prospectus is a rough draft with good work and follows my professors instructions thoroughly. Also reference that if you’re confused on how to start it or what this assignment should look like. Please read everything, I will make you do multiple revisions if it doesn’t follow my instructions. thank you. Please read everything thoroughly, provide textual evidence in my prospectus assignment
