Notes from class:
PROMPT: How does each short story exhibit the nature of "power" or "authority" as it pertains to sexual crime? What does that reveal about the connections between authority and victimization? In your paper, you should cite both stories and at one other source.
THESIS: Both Katherine Heiney and Nicole Acheampong reveal the role power plays in their portrayals of sexual assault. It is all too common today, that sexual victims fall prey to those with explicit or implicit authority or power over them.
STRATEGY:
1. write a divisive opening paragraph (P1)
2. Provide evidence of thesis from the short stories. Be sure to cite your evidence and connect it back to the thesis (P2 - P4)
3. Provide evidence from one or two sources you find on your own. Be sure to cite your evidence and connect it back to the thesis (P3 - P7)
Essay should be approximately four to eight paragraphs long.
PLEASE BE SURE TO HAVE A DRAFT OF THIS ASSIGNMENT IN CLASS MONDAY, so we can work with the drafts.
