Part II: (Page 222, week 8 PDF) In Hughes' poem "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," he recounts a history of African life in the Americas. How does Hughes create a sense of ancestral and cultural history (past) in "The Negro Speaks of Rivers"?
Part III:(page 226, week 8 PDF) In Fitzgerald's "Babylon Revisited," how do you respond to Marion Peters? Is she genuinely concerned for Honoria and rightly suspicious of Charlie? Is she self-righteous? Does she remind you of anyone you have encountered?
Please post no fewer than 550 words, making sure to balance your answers to Parts I, II, and III. You should use quotations from the text to support your points, but make sure they don't dominate your posts.
______________________________________________________________
FOR PROSE (such as this week’s Hemingway and Fitzgerald stories), include signal phrases, paraphrases or quotes, and parenthetical citations with page numbers. Examples are below.
Hemingway writes in “Big Two-Hearted River,” “quote here” (253).
In “Big Two-Hearted River,” Nick appears to be happy as he walks along the railway track (Hemingway 253).
The author’s name should be mentioned in the signal phrase or end citation but not both, as shown in the examples above. Also notice that with short quotes, the period goes AFTER the citation.
FOR POETRY:
When you are quoting from a poem, MLA style requires that you include LINE numbers instead of page numbers in your in-text citations. Put the author’s name in a signal phrase before your quote. The page number belongs on the Works Cited. An example is below.
Hughes writes in “The Negro Speaks of Rivers”: “My soul has grown deep like the rivers” (line 13).
ALL WORKS mentioned in your post should be included on your Works Cited! And don’t forget to label your parts! Include quotes and citations in each part to support your claims.
Hope this helps!
