I want this termpaper/research paper to answer following questions:
Research Questions
How do race, class and gender intersect in the
characterization and development of the main character Delia Jones and what
implications does this intersectionality have for her experiences and choices?
How does the relationship between Delia and Sykes
evolve over the course of the story in relation to intersectionality? How does
Delia’s experience as a black woman shape her response to Sykes’s actions and
influence the power dynamics within their relationship?
I also crafted this introduction to explain what I want the term paper roughly to be about. If you want to change it completly or add something, it would be fine.
Introduction:
In Zora Neale Hurston’s
short story “Sweat” the author writes about a black woman named Delia Jones,
whose experiences illustrate the daily struggles and challenges faced by black
women of her time. Through the lens of the
main protagonist, we are confronted with the ways in which her race, class and
gender intersect to shape her character and influence her choices as she
challenges these dynamics.[KJ(g1] Delia Jones ultimately emerges
as a symbol of strength and agency in the face of oppression. Written
in 1926 during the Harlem Renaissance, the story challenges the racist and
disparaging stereotypes of its time and shows how African American experiences are
influenced by factors such as class and gender.
In this paper, I argue that Zora Neal Hurston’s “Sweat”
illustrates the intersectionality of race, class and gender through the
characterization and character development of Delia Jones. Furthermore, this
paper aims to analyze the evolving relationship between Delia Jones and her
husband, Sykes, within the framework of intersectionality by examining how
their identities influence their interactions and power dynamics throughout the
story.
To answer the research questions of this paper, I will
use a qualitative approach. This involves a detailed
analysis of Zora Neale Hurston’s “Sweat,” focusing on the
characterization and development of the main character, Delia Jones, as well as
the dynamics of her relationship with her husband Sykes.
I need a Golden Thread/Summative Essay. It needs to be 8 paragraphs and have 2 quotes per paragraph in MLA with page numbers from the quotes. This is my thesis which needs to be part of the intro paragraph:
In examining ‘Identity and Belonging in America’ through the lens of ‘The Kite Runner,’ ‘The Great Gatsby,’ ‘There There,’ the movie ‘Get Out,’ and ‘Punching the Air,’ it becomes evident that despite diverse backgrounds and experiences, individuals in America navigate a complex journey of self-discovery and societal integration, shaped by cultural, racial, and socioeconomic forces, ultimately revealing the struggle to reconcile personal identity with societal expectations in the pursuit of genuine belonging.
Length and form: These journals are not required to be in essay format, but should conform to standard English grammar.
Note: While I would like these assignments to be somewhat personal, students should realize that these entries may be considered for sharing with the class.
Evaluation: Student grades will be based on a collection of criteria. 1. Relevance: Students are expected to address the assignment directly. While there are many opportunities for free thinking and open response within the curriculum, this assignment is meant to serve a clear focus.
2. Thoroughness: Responses, regardless of whether the task for the day is a written journal or some other means of expression, should evidence care and thought. In written responses, simple factual recording of events (unless that is the task of the assignment) will not receive as high an evaluation as one which clearly displays engagement on the part of the student. Although a minimum requirement of one written page is specified in the assignments, the word “minimum” will be stressed. I anticipate closer to two (or more) pages. Limiting responses to one page only will carry a penalty.
3. Form and Style: Journals are expected to follow standard conventions regarding sentence construction and variety, as well as effective vocabulary choices, etc. Students are held accountable for exercising standard English conventions of grammar, spelling, and usage where appropriate to the genre, implied audience, purpose, and degree of formality.
There should be no use of the internet or other sources for the completion of any of the journal assignments. Use of internet or other sources will result in automatic “F” for the assignment.
