Read Marquez’s story carefully: imagine its imagery, consider what ideas it presents to you, reflect on how it makes you feel, ask yourself questions as you engage with it. (Consider taking handwritten notes while reading.)  \nB. Access the MLA template and use it to type your work (C., E., and F.) below. (You’ll need to make your own copy of the template in order to edit it.)  \nC. Compose an original, objective summary of the short story:  \n○ Identify the most significant story event(s) in each of the thirteen paragraphs.  \n○ Write a one-clause (a single complete thought) summary for each of the story’s thirteen paragraphs.  \n○ Remove anything that is merely your opinion/interpretation as well as minor or supporting details.  \n○ Ensure you’ve used your own words, not Marquez’s.  \n○ Count your clauses to be sure there are thirteen. ~~ ~~     \n○ Then, combine them into a variety of simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.  \n○ Format them as a single paragraph.  \nD. After summarizing the story, thoughtfully consider the following:  \n○ the plot, conflict, and characters of the story;  \n○ Marquez’s authorial choices (e.g. specific words, details, images);  \n○ various thematic motifs present in story.  \nE. Use the sentence frame above to craft a single-sentence thesis statement about the story’s meaning; place your theme claim (the “WHY”) in bold type. (If you’re comfortable doing so, attempt composing your theme claim as a complex sentence.)  \nF. Create a second thesis statement that features a distinctly different theme claim. This sentence does not need to follow the prescribed frame, but it must contain all of the same elements (i.e. title, author, a bolded theme claim,  \nand support).  \nG. Save your finished work with File  Download PDF Document (.p~~d~~f), and upload it t~~o ~~the assignment  \non ManageBac.  \nHere’s a sample ( using a classic fairy tale) of what you might produce for“C.” on the “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” assignment.  \nHere’s aparagraph-by-paragraph objective summary of “Little Red Riding Hood”made up entirely ofsimple sentences (independent clauses). Subjects are bolded, and their verbs are underlinedforyour benefit.  \n1. Little Red Riding Hood, sets oΜ through the woods to visit her grandmother.  \n2. Along the way, Red meets a wolf.  \n3. The wolfdistracts her with the idea ofpicking Πowers.  \n4. The wolf rushes ahead of her to her grandmother’s home.  \n5. The wolfimpersonates Red to gain access.  \n6. The wolf eats the grandmother.  \n7. Red arrives at her grandmother’s house.  \n8. The wolfimpersonates the grandmother and eats Red too.  \n9. A huntsman kills the wolf and frees Red and her grandmother.  \n10. Later, Red takes another trip through the woods.  \n11. Red encounters another wolf but doesn’t speak to it.  \n12. Red and her grandmother kill the wolf.  \n13. No one ever messes with Red again.  \nAnd here it is combined with conjunctions and punctuation to wield a variety ofsentence types.(Note that, now, it’s seven sentences instead ofthirteen.)  \nLittle Red Riding Hood, sets oΜ through the woods to visit her grandmother. Along the way, Red meets a wolf, and the wolf distracts her with the idea ofpicking Πowers. The wolf rushes ahead of her to her grandmother’s home where the wolfimpersonates Red to gain access. The wolf eats the grandmother before Red arrives at her grandmother’s house, and the wolf impersonates the grandmother and eats Red too. A huntsman kills the wolf and frees Red and her grandmother. Later, Red takes another trip through the woods; Red encounters another wolf but doesn’t speak to it. Red and her grandmother kill the wolf, so no one ever messes with Red again.","cbCaipZLzeAs7jtA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipZLzeAs7jtA","pdf",616767,"English","# Assignment Steps\n## Story Summary (C)\n## Thematic and Authorial Analysis (D)\n## Thesis Statements (E, F)\n## Submission Instructions (G)","[{\"question\":\"What must students do during the initial reading of the story?\",\"answer\":\"Students read Marquez’s story carefully, consider the imagery and ideas it presents, reflect on feelings it creates, and ask questions while reading.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the paragraph-by-paragraph summary be constructed?\",\"answer\":\"Students identify the most significant events in each of the thirteen paragraphs and write a one-clause objective summary per paragraph, using their own words and removing opinions and minor/supporting details.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the requirements for the thesis statements?\",\"answer\":\"Students write one sentence thesis statement using the provided sentence frame, with the theme claim (“WHY”) in bold, and then create a second thesis statement with a distinctly different theme claim containing the same required elements.\"}]","A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings - Assignment | PDF"]
