Choose two quotes for each story… use template provided. Using Foucault theory all 4 after the first quote and one after the second quote… Each story should have only one paragraph.

1.Any rational relationship is inherently flawed; it is parasitic.(examples: two humans; human and language)

2.The subordinate is obligated to pursue knowledge to gain enlightenment; it is a duty or moral/ethical imperative.

3.The superior has no desire to pursue knowledge because the superior falsely believes he has the power.

4.The subordinate pursues knowledge to gain enlightenment, not to attain power to become a superior but to become an enlightened subordinate.

Please analyze Arthur Nersesian’s “Hunter-Trapper.”In this post, you will choose 1-2 moments [TWO quotes] from the

short story using the following parts of your ONE body paragraph. Remember, this discussion is not credited unless you give

constructive feedback to two classmates by the deadline. You then point out TWO critiques [further thought, major formatting

issue(s), or your disagreement].

Academic expository paragraph format [developed sections of any great academic paragraph]

A. Subtopic [one sentence] explain how your two chosen moments below will show a

fundamental issue

• Do not forget to include the author and/or “formatted title.”

• First find a theme that ties both moments together

• Second include a synonym within the to represent the idea/theme OR

• You can include a comparative that represents the theme/idea

• Do not repeat your own language

B. Main Lead-in [two sentences- one facts [what is being discussed or talked about

right before the quote or where the quote resides (the moment); one opinion on the

factual sentence]

C. Main quote [no more than 49 words]. BLOCKING is forbidden in prose for this

class.

Tangible source like your textbook CITATION is: (author’s last name + page #)

EX. (Nersesian 111).

D. Analyze, using AT LEAST 3+ sentences of opinion proving theory

Secondary quote integration can only logically occur AFTER any subtopic/sub-thesis or

AFTER any response within the body paragraph. Secondary quote integration has the

same rules as the main quote, except:

E. 1 sentence secondary lead [one factual sentence [what is being discussed or

talked about right before the quote or where the quote resides (the moment)

F. Secondary quote [no more than 49 words]. BLOCKING is forbidden in prose

for this class.

Tangible source like your textbook CITATION is: (Page #) EX. (200).

G. Analyze, using ONLY ONE sentence of opinion by proving same theory

H. Referential Statement: Leave your opinion on the quoted person and/or

the situation within the paragraph quote/moment(s). Find a common denominator

between the two persons/situation(s). DO NOT ANNOUNCE.

There are 4 standard ways to quote prose. It is determined where you put the signal phrase:

Signal BEFORE: Goldberg contends, “… whereas righteous behavior has shaped every

society since the beginning of the world, at the same time, few societies have been peaceful.

Fear, hatred, and cruelty have pervaded the corridors of most societies” (270).

NO signal: “… whereas righteous behavior has shaped every society since the beginning of the

world, at the same time, few societies have been peaceful. Fear, hatred, and cruelty have

pervaded the corridors of most societies” (270).

Signal splitting quote: “… whereas righteous behavior has shaped every society since the

beginning of the world, at the same time, few societies have been peaceful. Fear, hatred, and

cruelty,” Goldberg contends, “have pervaded the corridors of most societies” (270).

Signal AFTER:“… whereas righteous behavior has shaped every society since the beginning

of the world, at the same time, few societies have been peaceful. Fear, hatred, and cruelty have

pervaded the corridors of most societies,” Goldberg contends (270). Rules:

1. Please choose TWO quotes from the text. Remember, there are three parts to a quote.

2. Back to back documentation: when you are quoting from the same text more than once, and the quotes follow immediately after each other, you only give

truncated information. The second citation in the paragraph is usually different from the first. PLEASE FOLLOW Ex.

3. Main versus secondary spaces are interchangeable. It is independent of citation!

4. Please choose 1-2 moments (s) in time (scene) to focus on. The moment will help you provide the LEAD-IN facts needed to set up the quote.

5. A strong, tight academic paragraph should not be more than 20 sentences. After this amount, you should question if you are being repetitive OR going off topic.

6. Think outside of the box! However, "nothing exists outside of the text."–Jacques Derrida

Please analyze Adam Mansbach’s “Crown Heist.” In this post, you will choose 1-2 moments [TWO quotes] from the short story

using the following parts of your ONE body paragraph. Remember, this discussion is not credited unless you give
