The first THREE topics are essays. If you write on one of these, your final draft should include a thesis statement in the introduction. Quote or cite passages from the text on which you are writing to illustrate your ideas.
1.Choose a theme OTHER than father figures that runs through two or three stories in The Dew Breaker. What connections does the theme establish between the stories? Why are they important in The Dew Breaker? How does the treatment of the theme differ in the stories? How are the differences important? How does Danticat’s use of multiple points of view affect your understanding of the theme? TEXT TO USE (Danticat, Edwidge. The Dew Breaker. New York: Vintage, 2005. ISBN: 978-1400034291.)
2. Many of Frida Kahlo’s paintings and Maria Palacios’s poems focus on the artists’ bodies, even though they are in pain. Choose one or two paintings by Kahlo that depict Kahlo’s own body in ways that you find powerful or interesting, and choose one poem by Palacios that takes her body as its focus. What does each (the artist and the poet) achieve by refusing to turn away from her body amid physical and emotional pain? In Kahlo’s paintings you may consider the relation between her facial expression or her clothing and her body. In Palacios’s poem, consider the relation between the voice of the poem’s speaker and her body. Your discussion of Kahlo’s paintings should draw on her use of some of the formal elements of painting (line, form, light/shade, and color.) Your discussion of Palacios’s poem should draw her specific uses of language (oxymorons, metaphors, strong verbs, concrete nouns &etc.)
You may choose a variation on topic 2 in which you focus exclusively on Kahlo’s paintings or on Palacio’s poems. If you write only on Kahlo, discuss three paintings. If you write only on Palacios, discuss two or three poems.
TEXT TO USE IF NEEDED (Herrera, Hayden. Frida Kahlo: The Paintings. New York: Harper-Perennial, 2002. ISBN: 978-0060923198.) OR THE RESOURCES DOWNLOADED IN STUDY POOL.
3. In Dressing Skeletons, the speaker of the poems claims that she is like Kahlo, that she is addicted to Kahlo, that she loves Kahlo, and that she is Kahlo. Discuss two or three poems that make, or draw on, such claims. What does the relationship with Kahlo accomplish for the speaker of the poems and how? (Consider at least three accomplishments.) What does the relationship with Kahlo accomplish for Palacios as an advocate for disability awareness, and how? (Consider at least two accomplishments.) In the course of your discussion, be sure to consider the poet’s specific uses of language, for example: oxymorons, metaphors, strong verbs, concrete nouns &etc.
4. Creative Assignment: Following the example of Palacios, write one or two poems (2 -3 pages of poetry) in response to one or two paintings by Kahlo. Each poem(s) should establish a clear, specific relationship between its speaker and Kahlo. Like Palacios, use specific figures of speech and hone parts of speech to echo Kahlo’s use of some of the formal elements of painting. Palacios, for example, uses metaphors, oxymorons, strong verbs, and concrete nouns to echo Kahlo’s use of line, form, light/shade, and color. The last two pages of your paper should explain in detail how you have used specific features of language to respond to specific aspects of Kahlo’s painting(s) and why.
This table of information includes information about 475 California cities. A city was included if it had a population of at least 10,000 people and there was no missing data on any of the other variables (for example Camp Pendleton South is not included here because it has a population over 10,000 but was missing information about cell phones). The columns (variables) in this table include:
Demographic information: (like median HH income and the number of people who live as a part of a family unit)
Market profile information: (like a ranking value that indicates if this city tends to have a particularly high or low rate of households who have 3 or more cars, and information about whether someone bought “licensed sports apparel” in the last 12 months).
Psychographic information: (like a respondents belief that their cell phone is an “expression of who I am”)
Some of the variables are a percentage (% of people within the city), some are raw counts (# of people), some are ranking values (a number that indicates how much/little that city exhibits that behavior compared to other US cities), and some are summary values (like a median value within the city). Make sure you understand what each value is for each variable!
Also note that at the bottom there is a row for ALL of California.
For more information, see the tab “MetaData INFO”.
Make New Columns:
Make a new column called CITY_SIZE. Build a function that returns a label for a city based on its population size following these rules
Cities under 25,000 = “Small”
25,000 to 99,999 = “Mid”
100,000 to 499,999 = “Large”
500,000+ = “Major”
For each of the Cell Phone variables, make a new column that report the % of the population that claimed that particular statement. For example, a new column “Switch_Pct” would report 13.84% (with more decimals!) for Los Angeles.
(1) If we group all cities by their size labels (Small, Mid, Large, and Major), are there any differences we observe in the average % of people who agreed with each of the 4 cell phone questions
(2) Let’s consider “Small” “Mid” and “Large” cities, all as distinct subgroups. Further, let’s separate these cities into categories of different levels of “% of HH with over 100k” (<20, 20-30,30-40,40-50,50-60,>60, specifically). Let’s see if the average % of people who express that a cell phone is an expression of themselves seems to vary across these two dimensions. You will probably want to make a Pivot Chart to show this as well. What sort of pattern do you see (if any)?
(3) Wild Card! Using the available variables, explore the data yourself and make a Pivot Chart that depicts your key finding. Data exploration is a common thing we do with Pivot Charts in marketing, so this is your chance to potentially “unearth” an interesting finding. Note that “interesting” might mean “important for a business”, “unexpected”, “contrary to my expectations”. Explain your thinking and your results!
