Interpretation of a story

Your task is to interpret the significance (or the meaning in relation to life, society, the world etc) of "The storm." Remember to use the "elements"(plot, character, setting, point of view, figurative language) of the story to support your thesis, and that the evidence for your claim must be consistent and pervasive, in that there should be no significant evidence that contradicts the reading.

Do a feminist reading (one which concentrates on how male oppression and control <patriarchy>affect the situation and /or perception of characters) of "The Storm." Such an interpretation must reveal a pattern of thinking and/or behavior arguably influenced (consciously or unconsciously) by male norms and negatively affecting the person or people in the question, just as it must "account for "all of the story without obvious inconsistencies or contradictions.

In "Social Observers," Grimshaw and Ravetz describe '60s direct cinema as a "new filmmaking approach that was hailed as a radical break with established forms of documenting social life...understood as a commitment to 'showing,' not telling-that is, in place of narrated films with their summary and expert opinion, audiences were now to be presented with materials generated from recording events, situ­ations, and relationships as they unfolded... audiences were now expected to engage actively with what was presented, to evaluate the different kinds of evidence and interpret the significance of what they were being shown." In "The Reality-Based Community," Erika Balsom talks about contemporary returns to observational modes of documentary making in the context of the urgency of “the judicious study of discernible reality in an age of alternative facts." Use these two texts (and other readings from this week, if you'd like) as a framework for considering at least one film from Tuesday's class and one film from Thursday's class. How do you understand the changing significance and stakes of realism and observation in documentary filmmaking from the '60s to now?

Argumentative Research Essay

Putting it all together
It is now time to compile your resources and reflect upon what you've learned about identity. 

You can include media, graphs, images, etc., as long as your word count does not fall below 2000 words. 
You must turn in this paper in a Word Document and be very precise about formatting. 
You must engage ideas from at least 5-6 outside sources.

Sections of the Research Essay

Introduction and Literature Review
This section should provide an overview of the identity politics you chose to focus on in your research. For example, if you focus on race, you may want to describe some current issues in the US (Ferguson, Detroit, mass-incarceration) or use narrative to open your paper. Or a combination of both. 

Then you must explain what your sources say about the issue. This is the place to flex your synthesis muscles! What conversations are happening? What do other researchers say about it? How do different people approach the problem? What do they have in common, and where do they diverge?

Methods
Your methods section will explain how you came to this particular research interest, how you went about conducting research, who you interviewed and why, and how you put all the information together. This section can contain direct language from your research proposal, and it needs to do a good job establishing your rhetorical position. This section goes a long way in establishing trust with your readers as you will explain your personal relationship with the topic while demonstrating your fair-minded approach.

Results 
The Results section explains what you found out from your research. This should be the longest part of your essay, so draw out each point carefully. Think about connections between your reference texts and your interview. Think about how your interview illustrates broader cultural phenomenon in your reference texts. 

Discussion
This section concludes your research essay. Remember that a conclusion should never shut down the conversation by procuring a "right" answer or "winning" side. Nor should it regurgitate what you wrote about in previous sections. Rather, this section describes the implications of your research findings, as well as provide suggestions for future research. In other words, offer insight as to what your research could be used for, and explain how researchers writing after you might provide insight using a slightly different lens. And finally, use this section to reflect on your results. What do you think merits further study? What was surprising about your research findings? What, if anything, wasn't? Weave these kinds of questions into the entire Discussion section as you talk about implications and suggest future lines of inquiry.
