For this dissertation, the target text for analysis is His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. The overall aim is to analyze its two world-building elements: the narrative space and the fantasy object (referred to as Dust, Shadows, sraf), and how they contribute to the HDM narrative world construction. Analyze them with corpus stylistic methods and cognitive poetic perspectives.
For the chapter on narrative space, the analytical framework is Paul Rayson′s tripartite keyness model (keyword, key part-of-speech, key semantic domain), which is from corpus linguistics. Analyze key linguistic features in the construction of the narrative space. The web-based corpus tool Wmatrix can be used.

Please get in depth and analyze the topic.

The final will consist of three question options, worth 50 points each. You are to choose two of these options to answer in an essay format. Each question’s answer is to be a minimum of 500 words and no more than 750. Essays are to be a file upload, double-spaced. Please specify the number of the question, proofread your work, and cite sources both in text and on a Works Cited page. Your essay must be supported by the judicious use of quotes and specific details.
Question 1:
When ancient Northern Europeans began to feel the influence of the Roman invasions in the first century AD, they tried to fit their gods into the Greco-Roman mythos, or vice-versa. They identified Thor with Hercules, or with Zeus, though clearly these two Greco-Roman gods had very different roles in the hierarchy of the gods and different mythic experiences. Discuss the ways in which Thor compares to these Greek deities, and the ways in which he differs from both. What gives Thor his unique position among the Northern Europeans?
The sources for this should be the Library of Greek Mythology by Apollodorus or a similar collection, Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, and this site that gives more information about Thor: https://mythopedia.com/topics/thorLinks to an external site. You can use any of the material about heroes from the class as well.
Question 2:
Women play a prominent role in tragedy and in Greek myth. Develop an argument for EITHER the nobility and heroism of women OR their instability and danger. Choose only ONE of these positions and discuss how the women (pick three of them) you choose prove your claim. You can use mortal and immortal women for this discussion. The essay should be supported by clear and specific evidence that is cited to a source.
Question 3:
Your task is to pick only one character to focus on for this question set.
All of us throughout time have been a part of a culture where we both take and give from it. The idea of reciprocity, or behavior in which two people or groups of people give each other help and advantages, is one that ensures the survival of societies. Using a character from one of the dramas (plays), one of the epics (Homer’s works), or the Norse myths, explain this individual’s relationship with his or her larger society. How did the culture create or limit choices for the individual? How free was the individual to make their own choices?

Whether it is Frankenstein’s creature, Kurtz, Dr. Jekyll, or Mr. Scrooge, many of the characters,
settings, symbols, and even lines (Kurtz’ “The horror, the horror!”) have become parts of our
cultural consciousness, literally our cultural story. These elements from the texts we are
studying in this course are constantly blended into contemporary texts and conversations.
Making a “Frankenstein” has come to mean creating an out of control problem with unintended
consequences, for example.
For Paper/Project # 2, I’d like you to do some blending, or “mashing up” of your own. For this
project, create a text (poem, song, painting, mixed-media work, short story, one-act play, video,
etc.) mashing up the essence of one of the texts we are studying this semester (any text on our
course syllabus) with another text (poem, song, painting, drawing, short story, play, etc.) or an
original text of your own design. Your mash up should make thematic sense. For example,
mashing up Frankenstein with Mary Poppins would result in a rather confusing mash up.
As with Paper/Project # 1, none of this should come from research. I’m looking for you to
engage with the text at this very focused level and your brain.
You then need to write a 4-5-page essay that explains your new text. In general terms, essays
must be focused on a central idea, this focus must be clearly stated in a thesis statement, and
the thesis must be supported with both the student’s analysis of the chosen text and
quotations from the primary text. Please avoid lengthy plot summaries. Please also follow MLA
documentation guidelines.
Having said all this, the very best (most engaging, rich, and enjoyable) essays/projects result
when you choose to write about something that truly catches your attention and interests you.
In other words, start with an idea (a word) that engages you and go from there.
**For this paper/project I would like you to mash up the stories “Frankenstein” and “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”. Please make it a new short story. Then, as stated above, there should be a 4-5 page essay explaining this new short story.**
**Please use textual evidence from both texts to support this paper/project! Use MLA citations as well.**
Thanks!

Can you write a nice reply to this in 2 or 3 sentence.
Because
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie spoke so honestly about how she was raised on
certain stories that influenced the way she thought and saw the world
until she experienced it for herself, I truly loved her TedTalk. She did
a fantastic job of explaining how our preconceived notions about things
in life are shaped by the things we have been taught or read about
online, and how sometimes these things won’t alter until we really
encounter or see them for ourselves. Everyone should be able to share
their own experience, in my opinion, and maybe others will come to see
that after hearing our tales, their preconceived notions about other
people’s lives will be altered.
and can you write a nice repy to this in 2 or 3 sentence
Adichie’s
testimony serves as a potent reminder that when presented with only one
viewpoint, people often assume the worst. She believed that white
characters had to be in her novel because she had read books set in
Europe. Because she only saw her friends’ family as impoverished, she
felt they were incapable of being creative. This lecture demonstrates
the significance of promoting narratives from a diverse range of
sources.This film opened my eyes since it clearly described all the ways
that people categorize one another and how such classifications might
be resisted. The goal of the entire course this semester is effectively
captured in this speech. This semester, we read a wide variety of
literary works. Authors from many eras and locations were had the
opportunity to share their narratives.
