Reflective Paper.

Reflective Paper
Due: Dec. 15
Length: 3 pages (~1,000 words)

For this assignment, you are writing an essay that synthesizes material we've read with experiences in your own life. Pick three of these items: characters, themes, issues, plots, or any combination of these that we read throughout the semester. Analyze the items and explain how they fit into the stories from which they were extracted. Then explain how they relate to some experience of your own (or a of a friend's).

For example, if you choose the character of Socrates, you would first explain his character (what qualities does he have? What is he known for?), and how he fits into the Apology. Then you might relate this to a time when you were falsely accused of something, or to a time when you refused to sell out and cash in on your scruples. Make sure you make clear the connection between your experience and that of the character, theme, issue, or plot. You should say why you acted similarly or dissimmilarly, and why.

This paper should be 3 typed pages. I will not accept handwritten papers. It should have an introduction, and conclusion, and body paragraphs. Spelling and grammar count, too, so I would advise you to take it to CCC's tutoring center before handing it in to me.

Please email me or call me if you have questions.

I will take the paper on December 8th, but if you need until the 15th, that is OK. On the 15th's class period, I am just giving make-up tests and collecting the papers, so if you hand your paper in on the 8th and don't need to take a make-up test on the 15th, then you don't need to come to class.
