Both Oroonoko and Pere Goriot feature a doomed man and a character who bears witness to his life and death. As we have explored in class, the relations between these two characters are compex. Aphra Behn and Eugene de Rastignac are more than just witnesses, though; they have lives of their own, they are actively involved in the fates of their lives, hearts, and minds.

For your midterm essay, you must write a five-page essay about compare -and-contrast essay about both pairs.

Include a biography on the playwright, a brief summary of the drama, along with the setting, main characters, symbolism, irony, and historical context. 

For this essay, you will be analyzing two newspaper articles about the scandal. The articles should be taken from one or two of the following mainstream newspapers: The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, or comparable newspapers in circulation and prestige outside North America.The articles you pick need to be substantive news reports of at least 1,000 words long. Do not pick editorials, op-ed pieces, or personal blogs hosted by the websites of these publications.

The objective of the essay is to examine how the scandal is reported in selected mainstream media. When analyzing the news stories, ask yourself the following questions: Is the scandal given a name? I.e. is it referred to as XX-gate? Or an allegation? An accident? Which individuals or what companies/government agencies are said to be involved in the scandal? Who are the villains and who are the victims? How are the villains and victims represented? How is blame attributed? Is the scandal portrayed as a person’s moral failure or an institutional problem? Whose opinions are sought for this news report? Are the specific word choices that reflect an underlying attitude or ideology? What aspects of the scandal are highlighted? Are there significant omissions? Depending on your close reading of the articles, you are most likely to come up with some other questions. These questions should guide your analysis and writing.

The sources must be properly cited using APA style.

Download the entire EARTHLINGS movie from google/YouTube parts 1 to 5 with director comments. All reports must be typed in normal format, double spaced with normal margins. Please write at least a page on each of the 5 topics covered. The reports need to cover your perceptions of the material presented. This means your immediate sensation of the media. The next part is your cognition of the perceptions. This means what your thoughts were after reflection of the material presented. Sometimes there is an immediate cognition that later can change upon reflection. The final part of the each section’s report should be what are your beliefs and behaviors that have been affected by the movie. This means what are some of your lifestyle that might have an effect. At the end of all 5 sections there should be a final one page conclusion regarding the activity. This should include your beliefs regarding the larger situation affecting the world and all of our parts in it as well as reflection upon the report activity itself. This documentary movie is somewhat disturbing but ends on a positive note.
