The Tempest

 

4​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​ page paper. 2 passages in 1 text. (The Tempest by William Shakespeare) Perform a detailed close reading. The result of your close reading will be a claim about how the language of each passage works. This claim is now the thesis of your paper. Your paper will simply argue your main claim by using the text as evidence. In other words, repeat your close reading in the form of analytical writing. In this analytical writing use as little paraphrase or summary as you can. Questions to mention: 1: What is its context? 2: Who is speaking? 3: What stands out in the way ​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​the text is written? 4: What are the effects of these minuscule textual details? 5: What effects do their patterns have within the larger text? 6: How does the pattern work? 7: Why does it work in that way? 8: What literary or aesthetic role does it have? 9: Are there concepts behind the text? 10: Do the patterns of words indicate a network of ideas? From there you’re transitioning from interesting features of the text to making reasoned claimed about what features are significant in the text. In this writing it is to show, step by step, how the text is working and w​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​hy.
