Discussion Board Posting 7, due 11/17, by 11pm, est.In preparation for your final project, in your seventh posting you will assert a thesis in your seventh posting regarding Never Let Me Go that you will support by analyzing evidence, including least one quotation from the second third of the novel one quotation or point from a scholarly journal article that you select on your own. Your response can continue along similar lines as those you explored in Posting 6, addressing different examples.
You will respond to one of the following questions: 1.) How is Never Let Me Go relevant in today's world? What in them should readers know about? What in the text allows us to better understand our world and what light does our world shed on that of the text? 2.) What is the role of power in Never Let Me Go? How is it similar to or differ from the ways we have seen power function in at least one other text we have read this term? Why is this similarity or difference significant? 3.) How does Never Let Me Go allow us to better understand technology, art, or the intersection of the two? What does it teach us? You can select a journal article from the folder in our Google Drive. Your posting will be 250 words and can take the shape of one paragraph or a short introduction and a body paragraph. As you write about your secondary source, use at least one template from They Say, I Say. Take a look at the sample essay in the chapter devoted to revising for examples of ways to incorporate and analyze secondary sources. You might ask yourself what you were able to see in Woolf’s essay as a result of what you learned in the secondary source, or what you agreed or disagreed with in the article and why this matters. Make sure to cite all sources you consult, use quotations appropriately, and cite page numbers in parentheses when referring to or paraphrasing an idea. Depending on the form your final project takes, you might incorporate analysis of a similar kind in it (or incorporate the contents of this posting if it fits), or revise it as a dialogue. If you work on a different text or writer or text, you will take a similar approach, investigating what has been written in journals and considering ideas and concepts that are related to what you would like to discuss (there is also a folder of articles on Frankenstein and film adaptations, for instance, in our Google Drive folder). Check out the sample script in our Google Drive folder for an example. You can add your posting to the Discussion Board by clicking 'create thread.' The postings will be graded using the Discussion Board Posting Rubric.
