12 STARR / EOC ESSAY WRITING TEMPLATE Read the story that follows. Then write an essay answering this question: Does Alger s use of third person narration indicate any bias that affects who you perceive as the hero and the villain in the story? Defend your decision using specific text references to support your response. From Joe s Luck by Horatio Alger Joe Mason was alone in the world. A year previous he had lost his father, his only remaining parent, and when the father s affairs were settled and funeral expenses paid there was found to be just five dollars left, which was expended for clothing for Joe. In this emergency Major Norton, a farmer and capitalist, offered to provide Joe with board and clothes and three months schooling in the year in return for his services. As nothing else offered, Joe accepted, but would not bind himself for any length of time. He was free to go whenever he pleased. Now there were two disagreeable things in Joe s new place. The first was the parsimony of Major Norton, who was noted for his stingy disposition, and the seconde was the overbearing manners of his son Oscar, who lost no opportunity to humiliate Joe and tyrannize over him so far as Joe s independent spirit would allow. It happened, therefore, that Joe was compelled to work hard, while the promised clothing was of the cheapest and shabbiest description. He was compelled to go to school in patched shoes and a ragged suit, which hurt his pride as he compared himself with Oscar, who was carefully and even handsomely dressed. Parsimonious as his father was, he was anxious that his only boy should appear to advantage. On the very day on which our story begins Oscar had insulted Joe in a way which excited our hero s bitter indignation. This is the way it happened: Joe, who was a general favorite on account of his good looks and gentlemanly manners, and in spite of his shabby attire, was walking home with Annie Raymond, the daughter of the village physician, when Oscar came up. He was himself secretly an admirer of the young lady, but has never received the least encouragement from her. It made him angry to see his father s drudge walking on equal terms with his own favorite, and his coarse nature prompted him to insult his enemy. Miss Raymond, he said, lifting his hat mockingly, I congratulate you on the beau you have picked up.
13 Annie Raymond fully appreciated his meanness, and answered calmly: I accept your congratulations, Mr. Norton. This answer made Oscar angry and led him to go further than he otherwise would. You must be hard up for an escort, when you accept such a ragamuffin as Joe Mason. Joe flushed with anger. Oscar Norton, do you mean to insult Miss Raymond or me, he demanded. So you are on your high horse! said Oscar sneeringly. Will you answer my question? Yes, I will. I certainly don t mean to insult Miss Raymond, but I wonder at her taste in choosing my father s hired boy to walk with. I am not responsible to you for my choice, Oscar Norton, said Annie Raymond, with dignity. If my escort is poorly dressed, it is not his fault, nor do I think the less of him for it. If your father would dress me better, I should be very glad of it, said Joe, If I am a ragamuffin, it is his fault. I ll report that to him, said Oscar maliciously. I wish you would. It we save me the trouble of asking him for better clothes. Suppose we go on, said Annie Raymond. Certainly, said Joe politely. And they walked on, leaving Oscar discomfited and mortified. What a fool Annie Raymond makes of herself he muttered. I should think she d be ashamed to go round with Joe Mason. Oscar would have liked to despise Annie Raymond, but it was out of his power. She was undoubtedly the belle of the school, and he would have been proud to receive as much notice from her as she freely accorded to Joe. But the young lady had a mind and a will of her own, and she had seen too much to dislike in Oscar to regard him with favor, even if he were the son of a rich man, while she had the good sense and discrimination to see that Joe, despite his ragged garb, possessed sterling good qualities. When Oscar go home he sought his father. Father, said he, I heard Joe complaining to Annie Raymond that you didn t dress him decently. Major Norton looked annoyed. What does the boy mean? he said. What does he expect?
14 He should be dressed as well as I am said Oscar maliciously. Quite out of the question, said the Major hastily. Your clothes cost a mint of money. Of course, you want me to look well, father. I am your son, and he is only the hired boy. I don t want folks to talk, said the major, who was sensitive to public opinion. Don t you think his clothes are good enough? Of course they are; but I ll tell you what, father, said Oscar, with a sudden idea, You know that suit of mine that I got stained with acid? Yes, Oscar, said the Major gravely. I ought to remember it. It cost me 34 dollars, and you spoiled it by your carelessness. Suppose you give that to Joe. Suggested Oscar. He s a good deal larger than you. It wouldn t fit him; and besides it s stained. What right has a hired boy to object to a stain? No matter if it is too small, he has no right to be particular. You are right, Oscar, said the Major, who was glad to be saved the expense of a new suit for Joe. Even he had been unpleasantly conscious that Joe s appearance had become discreditable to him. You may bring it down, Oscar, he said. I dare say Joe won t like the idea of wearing it, but a boy in his position has no right to be proud. Of course not, returned the Major, his ruling passion gratified by the prospect of saving the price of a suit. When Joseph comes home at any rate, after he is through with his chores you may tell him to come into me. All right, sir.

16 HOW TO DO A CLOSE READING The skill called "close reading" is fundamental for interpreting literature. "Reading closely" means developing a deep understanding and a precise interpretation of a literary passage that is based first and foremost on the words themselves. But a close reading does not stop there; rather, it embraces larger themes and ideas evoked and/or implied by the passage itself. 1. Getting Started: Treat the passage as if it were complete in itself. Read it a few times, at least once aloud. Concentrate on all its details and assume that everything is significant. Determine what the passage is about and try to paraphrase it. 2. Word meaning: Determine the meanings of words and references. Also, note (and verify) interesting connotations of words. Look up any words you do not know. 3. Structure: Examine the structure of the passage. How does it develop its themes and ideas? How is the passage organized? Are there turning points? 4. Sound and Rhythm: Acquire a feel for the sound, meter, and rhythm; even punctuation may be significant. Be alert to devices such as alliteration, assonance, rhyme, consonance, euphony, cacophony, onomatopoeia. Determine whether the lines breaks compliment or complicate the meanings of the sentences. 5. Syntax: Examine the syntax and the arrangement of words in the sentences. Does the syntax call attention to itself? Are the sentences simple or complex? Does the syntax allow for ambiguity or double meanings? 6. Textual Context: In what specific and general dramatic and/or narrative contexts does the passage appear? How do these contexts modify the meaning of the passage? What role does the passage play in the overall movement/moment of the text? 7. Irony: How does irony operate in the passage, if at all? 8. Tone and Narrative Voice: What is the speaker s (as distinct from the narrator s and author s) attitude towards his or her subject and hearers? How is this reflected in the tone? What does the passage reveal about the speaker? Who is the narrator? 9. Imagery: What sort of imagery is invoked? How do the images relate to those in the rest of the text? How do the images work in the particular passage and throughout the text? What happens to the imagery over the course of the passage? Does the passage noticeably lack imagery? If so, why? 10. Rhetorical Devices: Note interesting metaphors, similes, images, or symbols especially ones that recur in the passage or that were important for the entire text. Are there any other notable rhetorical devices? Are there any classical, biblical or historical allusions? How do they work? 11. Themes: Relate all of these details to possible themes that are both explicitly and implicitly evoked by the passage. 12. Gender: How does the passage construct gender? What issues of gender identity does it evoke? How does it represent women s issues? 13. History: How does the passage narrate history? How does it present "facts" versus observations? 14. Construct a Thesis: Based on all of this information and observation, construct a thesis that ties the details together. Determine how the passage illuminates the concerns, themes, and issues of the entire text it is a part of.

18 Guide for 11-Sentence Paragraph An 11-Sentence paragraph is a paragraph that analyzes a selection with quotes/examples and commentaries per each quote/example. It is a good start for writing analytical essays. Try to follow the format as closely as you can, but it is okay to deviate a little. This is a springboard to writing about literature. The idea is to help you write concise paragraphs using quotes or examples from literature and commenting on them. Sentence #1: Topic Sentence Should include title, author, and focus of paragraph. Sentence #2: Concrete Detail #1 Use a transitional device or a phrase that leads into this first concrete detail which may be a quote or example from the selection supporting the focus of the paragraph. Sentence #3: Commentary 1 A commentary is commenting on a point you have made. You may discuss, explain, interpret, or analyze the quote or example you just provided, but you cannot paraphrase. Sentence #4: Commentary 2 Continue the discussion, explanation, interpretation, or analysis of the quote or example. Sentence #5: Concrete Detail #2 Use a transitional device or a phrase that leads into this concrete detail which may be a quote or example from the selection supporting the focus of the paragraph. Sentence #6: Commentary 1 You may discuss, explain, interpret, or analyze the quote or example you just provided, but you cannot paraphrase. Sentence #7: Commentary 2 Continue the discussion, explanation, interpretation, or analysis of the quote or example. Sentence #8:Concrete Detail #3 Use a transitional device or a phrase that leads into this concrete detail which may be a quote or example from the selection supporting the focus of the paragraph. Sentence #9: Commentary 1 You may discuss, explain, interpret, or analyze the quote or example you just provided, but you cannot paraphrase. Sentence #10: Commentary 2 Continue the discussion, explanation, interpretation, or analysis of the quote or example. Sentence #11: Closing sentence must briefly summarize the paragraph. *Please use transitional words or phrases to help this essay flow smoothly. Example of 11-Sentence Paragraph: This is an example of a paragraph following this format: In Animal Farm, by George Orwell, Clover represents a mother figure to the other animals. She talks to Mollie the horse, when others won t. She shows she cares about keeping the animals together. She is not mean to Mollie but wants her to understand how serious her leaving the farm is to the whole community. Later, Clover warns Boxer to slow down and nurses him when he collapses. Her motherly concern for him makes the reader feel sorry for the old, true horse and through her eyes can be seen the injustice of the system. She understands the punishment of hard work, and although she could have broken away, she believes in Animal Farm. In addition, she sees the changes in the Seven Commandments and in the pigs at the end of the story. Her instinctive knowledge leads her to sense that things are wrong. She is the character who makes the reader want to say, Yes, you are right: do something. Clover works hard to help the other animals, regardless of what might happen to her.
