Yоur essаy prоmpt will be bаsed оn the аssignment in Journal #6. Be sure to bring an annotated copy of the two scholarly articles listed in Journal #6. You are not allowed to bring anything else with you. Prompt: The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus presents theological conflict as practical and psychological: Faustus' choices create a "theism vs atheism" struggle that is less about doctrine and more about what he is willing to believe, sacrifice, or deny. Develop the three main ideas (listed in italics) and how how these actions contribute to the struggle he is dealing with. All essays will be graded based on the following criteria: Category Points Criteria 1. Revised Thesis & Central Argument 20 Presents a clear, specific, and arguable thesis. The thesis focuses on one concept only—one concept from the list of medieval contexts listed in Journal #4—and establishes two distinct main ideas that support the argument. The revised thesis demonstrates meaningful refinement of the Journal #4 thesis. 2. Development of Main Idea #1 15 Develops the first main idea with a clear claim, relevant textual evidence, and thoughtful analysis. Explains how specific literary choices develop the chosen concept and contribute to the larger argument. You must provide one quote from the scholarly article in exact quotes, following MLA guidelines. 3. Development of Main Idea #2 15 Develops the second main idea with a clear claim, relevant textual evidence, and thoughtful analysis. The idea is distinct from the first while still supporting the same overall argument. You must provide one quote from the scholarly article in exact quotes, following MLA guidelines. 4. Literary Analysis / Close Reading 15 Closely analyzes the poet's specific literary choices—such as diction, imagery, characterization, tone, symbolism, metaphor, syntax, or other techniques. Explains how the choices create meaning and why they are significant rather than simply identifying literary devices. 5. Use of Textual Evidence 10 Selects specific, relevant evidence from the poem and integrates it effectively into the argument. Evidence is used to support analysis rather than replace it. Evidence follows MLA guidelines for parenthetical citations. (A works cited entry is not necessary) 6. Connection to the Poem as a Whole 10 Clearly explains how the selected passage contributes to a larger central idea, theme, or understanding of Sir Gawain & the Green Knight. Moves beyond the individual passage to explain its significance within the poem. 7. Organization & Coherence 5 Organizes ideas logically and purposefully. Each paragraph contributes to the overall argument, and transitions make the progression of ideas clear. 8. Style, Clarity & Conventions 10 Uses clear, precise academic language. Sentences are readable and appropriately structured. Errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, or mechanics do not interfere with meaning. Essay appears in 3rd person POV.
