Part III:  Essay  Write a thoughtful, detailed response to one of the following. The essay must be at least 400 words; “A” essays usually go beyond minimum standards. Have a short opening paragraph that makes a main assertion related to the prompt. Have body paragraphs that directly address the topic. These body paragraphs should be the bulk of the essay. Incorporate into your body paragraphs ideas and key terms that were brought up in the videos/notes/PowerPoints, and use specific examples from the texts to support your points.  Do not, however, merely summarize the plot. End with a short conclusion that addresses the author intention for this work and brings your essay to a close. Include a word count (you must write this “by hand”—one point bonus added for doing so). Topic A) In his Narrative, Frederick Douglass discusses the pivotal moments that transformed his life: educationally, morally, spiritually.  Describe in detail and discuss the impact of the following in one paragraph each: –Douglass’s interaction with Sophia Auld.  How did she first treat him?  How did she change?  What did Douglass learn during this experience with her?    –Douglass and his encounter with “the snake,” Edward Covey.  How did it alter Douglass’ character?  –Douglass’s interaction with “religious” slave owners like Thomas Auld (you can reference others here as well). What did Douglass learn about the relationship between slavery and Christianity?   –**Optional:  In an extra body paragraph you can discuss anything else you think relevant to this topic, or you can expand one of the previous points to a second body paragraph.   –Conclusion:  How would you characterize the transformation Frederick Douglass, by the end of the text?  What was Douglass’ purpose in writing this autobiography?     Topic B)  Discuss Hedda Gabler’s quest for independence and selfhood in the play. In what ways is she controlled or has her identity stifled in the relationships she has with the men in her life? Conversely, where/how does she gain control or break free for self expression? How can we evaluate her suicide and its implications with respect to this theme? In the essay, be sure to discuss: — BP #1: Hedda’s relationship with George Tesman.    –BP #2: Hedda’s relationship with Eilert Lovborg  –BP #3:  Hedda and Judge Brack, leading to the suicide  –Feel free to extend any of these sections to two body paragraphs if needed.   –In the conclusion, assess Ibsen’s purpose in creating such a complex character as Hedda Gabler.
