Choose two of these stories that both seem to grapple with a common thematic motif. (Perhaps you feel that the two stories you choose present almost identical messages, or maybe you interpret substantially different meanings emerging from a similar motif.)  \nThe choices an author makes are very important and worthy of your close attention. While re-reading these stories, consider and take some notes on how each author uses literary devices (e.g. plot structure, symbolism, point of view, irony) to explore a common thematic motif (which mayor may not be from the list to the left) and how their choices convey meaning in their respective stories.  After thoughtfully re-reading the two stories and taking  \nnotes, finish off your notes by producing a single-sentence comparative thesis statement that makes a claim about how the two authors uses literary devices to convey thematic meaning.  \nPlease use one of the thesis frames below:  \nWhile both \"TITLE1\" and \"TITLE2\" explore the concept of MOTIF, AUTHOR1 makes use of DEVICE(s)1 to convey that THEME1, yet AUTHOR2 suggests that THEME2 through the use of DEVICE(s)2.  \nThough \"TITLE1\" and \"TITLE 2\" both grapple with MOTIF, AUTHOR1's use of DEVICE(s)1 implies that THEME1 while AUTHOR2's choices involving DEVICE(s)2 suggest that THEME2.  \nIn AUTHOR1's \"TITLE1\" and AUTHOR2's \"TITLE2\", both authors make use of DEVICE(s)1/2 and a common motif of MOTIF; however, AUTHOR1's choices suggest that THEME1 while AUTHOR2's decisions imply that THEME2.  \nBoth \"TITLE1\" and \"TITLE2\" present the idea that THEME1/2; however, while AUTHOR1 makes use of DEVICE1 to explore MOTIF, the theme is conveyed in AUTHOR2's story primarily through his/her/their use of DEVICE2.  \nComparative Analysis Task ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~  \nOnce your thesis statement from Part One has been approved,  \nproceed working on an outline that presents a plan for least two body paragraphs. Your paragraphs should follow a logical structure and contain adequate textual evidence to defend the claims of your thesis.  \nRefer to the notes you took in class regarding appropriate plans for body paragraph topics. The most important thing is that each paragraph actually defends your thesis.  \nBe sure to include a total of at least six pieces of cited textual evidence (with at least two cited pieces of evidence per body paragraph) .  \nLastly, refer to the notes you took in class on weaving and citing quotations. Create two sentences (from different body paragraph) that feature properly woven, cited quotations (from different texts) .  \n| Outline offers no clear support for the claims of the thesis or support is entirely\u003Cbr>uncited.\u003Cbr>| One or more body paragraphs are either inadequately supported ordo not clearly defend the thesis (e.g. mere summary) .\u003Cbr>| All body paragraphs follow an appropriate, logical structure (complete with topic sentences) and have adequate, relevant, cited, textual support. | |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Neither of the two samples present properly woven, cited quotations from the texts.\u003Cbr>| One of the sample sentences features a properly woven, cited quotation, but the other does not, or one or more of the samples does/ do not fit with the intent of their respective paragraphs.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>| Both sample sentences feature smoothly woven/integrated quotations which are parenthetically cited, and both samples fit with the intent of their respective body paragraphs.\u003Cbr>|  |","cbCaigCacodKZhan","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigCacodKZhan","pdf",2509492,"English","# Comparative Thesis Planning\n## Selecting Two Stories and Identifying Shared Motif\n## Writing a Single-Sentence Comparative Thesis\n# Outline and Evidence Requirements\n## Building At Least Two Body Paragraphs\n## Using Cited Textual Evidence and Woven Quotations\n## Assessment Criteria for Samples","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the Comparative Analysis Task?\",\"answer\":\"Choose two short stories that share a thematic motif and analyze how both authors use literary devices to convey thematic meaning through a thesis and a supported outline.\"},{\"question\":\"What must be included in the thesis statement?\",\"answer\":\"A single-sentence comparative claim using one of the provided thesis frames, explaining how each author’s literary devices convey theme through the shared motif.\"},{\"question\":\"How should the outline and evidence be structured after the thesis is approved?\",\"answer\":\"Create an outline for at least two body paragraphs with clear topic sentences and at least six pieces of cited textual evidence total, including two sentences with properly woven, parenthetically cited quotations from different texts.\"}]","Comparative Analysis Task - Literary Device and Thematic Motif Thesis Outline | PDF",1790679452]
