Short Written Assignment
assignment length: 2 pages, double-spaced (regular 12-point font)
due date / time: Friday, February 24 by 5:00 pm
paper submission: to Mike’s mailbox (3rd floor of Eliot), outside Mike’s
office (Vollum 317), or to Mike in conference.
assignment:
You are asked to demonstrate how form shapes content or determines meaning
in one (1) text: James’s What Maisie Knew, Joyce’s Dubliners, or
Rhys’s After Leaving Mr. Mackenzie. (If you choose Joyce, write on only
one [1] assigned story from Dubliners.) “Form” can refer to
any aspect of style or to the way the author constructs the material of
the narrative.
Choose a relatively small part of the text to focus on: a passage (even
a single paragraph), an excerpt of dialogue, or some combination of description
and
dialogue.
