In a paragraph, discuss how these three essays meet the criteria for literary nonfiction. Use specific information from the content of the unit and quotations from the readings. Literary nonfiction is a form of storytelling as old as the telling of stories. It is a form that allows a writer both to narrate facts and to search for truth, blending the empirical eye of the reporter with the moral vision. The first essay written by Jaschik meets the criteria for literary nonfiction because it discusses the huge controversy of plagiarism and how it affects literature today.
No lates will be accepted. Your Paper Should Be Organized As Follows: Title Introduction Paragraph (Paragraph 1) Begin with a sentence that introduces (sums up) the story of Beowulf, followed by another sentence that transitions you from the intro sentence to the second sentence (something like Even though the movie and the poem are about the same story, they are vastly different, for ex. You may use this sentence, but I prefer you come up with your own). The third sentence will be your thesis statement, which states your three differences in the order in which you plan to discuss them. *These differences should be important.
"The book's aim is to provoke my fellow historians to greater self-consciousness about the nature of our work," Novick wrote of his motivation (17). It is obvious that Novick is going to try to convince historians that they should be more self-critical of their work and thought. Set in in this argument is
Not reporting the death and injury tool to the government by Firestone iii. Recalling Ford Explorers in foreign countries without letting the US government know about it iv. Ford memo about Firestone being reluctant to recall some
It was not even an element presented in the framing of this decision-making exercise. That being said, I included that in my analysis. I took the approach of listing the facts that the scenario presented and tried to look at the cost of racing versus not racing in the same way as I would look at any scenario where lives are also at stake as in going to the moon, or having brain surgery. Certainly at racings speeds, lives are at stake. How much is a driver’s life worth?
What you have to do is trust your own story. Get the hell out of the way and let it tell itself.” (106). This comment reflects on the idea that the stories force their own way out, and in a way tell themselves. This is because after being repressed for so long, they sort of just blurt out. I found ‘The Man I killed’ to be a particularly interesting story out of this book.

Nick Adams American Sniper I originally chose to do Unbroken, but I switched to reading American Sniper an autobiography by Chris Kyle. I chose this book because I was very interested in how and what the autobiography would be in relation to the American Sniper movie. The autobiography starts off with Chris not really knowing what he wants to do with his life, until he gets involved with the Navy Seals.

As I Lay Dying The novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner tends to make readers confused when beginning to read it due to the theme the book entails. One of the main themes in the novel would have to be the difference of what are the truth and the explanation of what is true. Without a doubt any point is able to end in a massive amount of what is biased due to the different characters and their individual point of views. Each thought they have on what they believe true is dependent on their previous outlooks and thoughts. With that being said anything that is alleged can’t always necessarily be the truth.
The Moe Bandy song "Too Old to Die Young" (written by Scott Dooley, Kevin Welch, John Hadley; see YouTube video below) appears several times in the novel. As a pre-reading activity, students could listen to the song (and, perhaps, read along with a print-out of the lyrics) and write a journal entry about what the lyrics mean to them. Upon finishing the novel, students could listen to the song a second time and write a response about how the song relates to Ben and his last year of
