This is my course about American ,Literature ,Culture and Media:Theories of Literature,Culture of Media.
I need to write an essay of about 12 pages and submit it before the deadline specified on the syllabus. I’ll need to think of potential topics, ideally already in terms of a thesis statement in the form of “In this essay, I want to argue that…”, and then discuss my ideas with the prof. so ensure I am not going off in the right direction,I can write about any of these things(McLuhan Media, Archaeology of Knowledge,Fourcault,etc.), I just need to come up with a concrete research question to give me a clear direction. He said that I should forget about the formulaic structural things, though; writing an essay isn’t about following such guidelines but making an argument in the most effective way, and this can be done in very different ways that have nothing to do with five or three parts etc. I need an introduction with a clear research question and thesis statement, and then you need to make my point by supporting claims with evidence. And he said that I’ll need to get the form right, i.e. MLA style 9, to cite your sources properly.
