In Preparing for the D-Day: Edna and her Narrative in The Awakening

Edna has never failed to invoke heated discussions in any of my novel classes. She is a character that you love to love and love to hate. She has always been an example of a strong female character. Is it wrong to be happy? Isn't that what every individual in this world seeks for? But in pursuit of her happiness death overtakes her. So my question to you people, does she choose death or death chooses her?

Blue, blue, blue - the sky is blue

Before we move on to the next novel; I would like you to look closely at Great Expectations. In your paper on relationship, you would have analyzed most of the major issues in the narrative.

Previously, in my lecture I have shared with you the descriptions of weather, season, time of day, day and how these descriptions are used as predictors of what you would come across later in the chapter.

Your task is to choose one of these (weather, season, time of day, day)and discuss further how the use of, say for example gray and stormy weather, informs you of what you read next in the chapter. Sorry people descriptions of weather in chapter 39 is mine. You have to look elsewhere.

Assignment 1 Relationship Paper (Great Expectations)

Hi,

When I gave this assignment I noticed that a number of you were missing. And perhaps because I gave you this assignment too early in the morning several of you were still in your own private world.

The due date for this assignment is 10 February 2011. As I had given this assignment on 27 January 2011, you are given 2 weeks to sit and simmer and produce this task. It is not a task that dark mist will loom all throughout your semester break. It is just something that I would like you to look at and analyze when you look at the characters you encountered in the novel. Choose 1 relationship or 2 relationships(if you plan to do a compare and contrast paper). Look at the chosen relationship(s) and decide the type of relationship those characters have. State your thesis statement (the focus of your paper - in this case you would label the type of relationship the characters have. Elaborate on the relationship those characters have and the impact of that on them. Providing quotations is recommended. Remember people the paper is about 3-5 pages long BUT I strongly recommend you to limit it to a 3 pages paper. Please provide a cover page that has these information: semester, course code, course name, your name, your matric number, and due date for the paper. Please email me the soft copy of this assignment to this address juridah.rashid@gmail.com
