Evaluation:
Paper was original, insightful, going beyond ideas discussed in class. You have a clear, complex thesis. Your essay demonstrates your thorough understanding of the material covered by the assignment, texts, and lectures.
· Complex, sophisticated thesis.
· All claims supported by well-chosen quotations that are integrated into the argument of the paper.
· No awkward sentences, no unnecessary sentences, or extraneous information.
Third, I will consider the quality of the writing and the general structure of the paper.
Objectives:
For this assignment, you will need to demonstrate your ability to apply the ideas in Freud, Plato, and Lacan to analyzing themes, ideas, characters, and actions in the “narrative” texts from the second half of the semester (Antigone, Hamlet, Fun Home, Between the World and Me)
The successful paper will:
• Demonstrate a clear, sophisticated understanding of ideas developed in our analysis of Freud, Lacan, and Plato and be able to appropriately apply those ideas to an analysis of Antigone, Hamlet, Fun Home, and Between the World and Me.
• Will accurately represent the positions/ideas/themes/actions presented in Antigone, Hamlet, Fun Home, and Between the World and Me.
• Will choose appropriate quotes from Antigone, Hamlet, Fun Home, and Between the World and Me and effectively integrate them into the student’s own argument regarding the topic.
• Will state and develop a thesis in response to one of the assigned topics.
Topics: Choose one of the topics below.
1 Desire. What is desire? What role does it play in human experience? How is it different from other experiences (e.g., “pleasure” and possibly “love”)? Develop your own “theory of desire” based on your reading of Freud, Lacan, and/or Plato. You need not agree with Freud, Lacan, and Plato, but your paper MUST REFLECT A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF AT LEAST ONE OF THE THEORIES OF DESIRE in those texts. Using this theory of desire, analyze the role of desire (as you have presented it) in one or more of the following: Antigone, Hamlet, Between the World and Me, Fun Home.
2 Erotic Truth. Bechdel describes “erotic truth” as “a rather sweeping concept.” What does she mean by erotic truth? Using at least two other texts/films assigned for this class, one of which MUST BE FREUD, LACAN, OR PLATO, write an essay in which you explore the possible meanings of this phrase, “erotic truth” (as Bechdel seems to be using it).
3 Race. Explain Coates’ account of race. What does he think it is? Why does it take the shape it does in our culture? Then analyze and evaluate this theory using at least one of the theory texts (Freud, Lacan, Plato).
4 The Political. Use the theoretical works (Freud, Lacan, and/or Plato) to develop a theory of “the political.” In other words, what forces govern our political interactions? What problems emerge? What solutions might we propose? Illustrate the effectiveness of your theory with examples from Antigone, Hamlet, Fun Home, and/or Between the World and Me.
5 For Freud (and Lacan) an internal antagonism is central to the life of “the subject.” Based on your reading of one of the narrative texts for this course (The Antigone, Hamlet, Fun Home, and Between the World and Me) write an essay in which you evaluate the effectiveness of this “antagonism” thesis.
6 Action (and Destruction). Antigone, Hamlet, and Bruce (Fun Home) are all characterized by decisive action (that leads to their destruction). Write a paper in which you analyze and compare the central role of Desire in their action as it leads to their own destruction.
7 This is Love. Compare, analyze, and assess the ways in which love has been described in the texts we have studied during this class, paying special attention to how it is described in Antigone and Hamlet. From this come to some conclusions about what love is, or at least how love is experienced and conceived. Finally, make some kind of claim about the role of love in the production of the (human) subject. (For this topic, you might also consider Freud, Plato, Beginners, and Vertigo.)
8 Crazy Talk. What makes a speech (or speech in general) seem rational? What makes it seem “irrational?” Hamlet, Ophelia, and Antigone all have moments when their speech is interpreted as lacking in sanity and/or rationality. Analyze these moments in both plays and explain what this can tell us about what are the marks of rationality in spoken worlds.

The four main body types are:
1. *Ectomorph*:
– Slender build
– Lean muscle mass
– Fast metabolism
– Gains weight slowly
– Loses weight easily
2. *Mesomorph*:
– Muscular build
– Athletic physique
– Medium metabolism
– Gains muscle easily
– Loses weight moderately
3. *Endomorph*:
– Curvier build
– More body fat
– Slower metabolism
– Gains weight easily
– Loses weight slowly
4. *Pear-shaped/Rectangle*:
– Combination of body types
– Larger hips and thighs (pear-shaped)
– Similar measurements across bust, waist, and hips (rectangle)
These body types are based on the somatotype theory developed by William H. Sheldon, which categorizes individuals into three main body types: ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. The pear-shaped/rectangle category is a combination of these types.
Keep in mind that body types are not strict classifications and can vary from person to person. Additionally, body shape and composition can change over time due to various factors like diet, exercise, and genetics.

Assignment Descriiption:
Part 1: Requires two submissions to the Module 1 Dropbox – an Excel file and a Word file.
An important behavior of successful students pertains to establishing a weekly study schedule. This may sound overly elementary, but, to the contrary, high-performing college students know exactly every hour of their day/week and how they will use their time. A planner helps you visually organize your week, making it easier to see when you have commitments and dedicated time to study, time for leisure, and other activities. This visual representation ensures that you allocate your time wisely, balancing various aspects of your life.
Download this Excel Time Management Weekly Planner: https://classroom.aspen.edu/d2l/le/content/74399/viewContent/3792066/View and complete a weekly study schedule.
Fill in the Excel planner with time blocks for work, sleep, school, family/friends, and free time.
In a separate Word document, in 250 words, detail how you plan to utilize this schedule to tackle your workload effectively and optimize study times.
Part 2: Requires one additional submission to the Module 1 Dropbox – a Word file.
Invention Strategies help the writer brainstorm ideas There are four main types of Invention Strategies: Direct Freewriting, Listing, Outlining, and Clustering-Branching (Behrens & Rosen, 2012).
Directed Free-writing – let your mind go and write spontaneously for a set amount of time, like 15 minutes or a certain number of pages. Think about a subject and just let what you think you know flow onto the page.
Listing – make a list and several sublists of your ideas. Let your mind go and jot down words and phrases related to the topic. Listing the ideas should be a way of brainstorming just the ideas. (Once the ideas are on paper you can switch to the actual outline of your paper.)
Outlining – the more structured version of lists. This would set the ideas in hierarchical order, with main points broken into subordinate points; allowing you to see the “outline” of your topic and paper.
Clustering and Branching – start with the main topic or idea and brainstorm ideas that flow from that main idea. Clustering is writing an idea in a circle on the paper and adding new bubbles containing the subtopics/ideas flowing from the main idea. Pick the subtopics that interest you the most and make further bubbles. Branching is the same concept but instead of bubbles or circles, you have branches or lines.
Choose one of the four Invention Strategies above to explore and refine the healthcare topic that you selected for the Module 1 Discussion posting this week.
In a separate Word document, in 250 words, describe your chosen strategy and rationale behind your choice and how you plan to use the selected invention strategy in future assignments.
Reference:
There is 2 pages of 250 words and 1 planner.
