English 102 essay 1 | Homework Helper

I’m trying to learn for my English class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

After our readings from “Muy Macho” and “Twitching Heart” and our viewing of “Freak”, think about your own relationships with men or boys in your life. You might choose a father, brother, uncle, someone you had deep or complicated relationship with or even yourself if you identify as male. Write a letter to yourself about one of them in which you reflect on how they have impacted how you think about yourself, relationships with others, or your own feelings. If possible, think about how what we’ve read/viewed/listened to may link to your own experiences with the man or boy you’ve picked to focus on. ( Note: Your experiences may be positive, negative, difficult or very complex. If you are having difficulty, let me know and an alternative assignment can be provided)

Hint: ( Go back and look at On Macho and the Puerto Rican Dummy and the Merciful Son to see how writers deal with these complex thoughts. )

requirements

1. Your letter should use at least 4-5 quotes, paraphrase’s, or outside references to support your perspective and thoughts.
2. Your letter should have a clear point. How did this relationship impact you, in what ways ? ( Remember, your thesis may introduce these points but your body will be where you go into detail)
3. Your letter should have a clear works cited page ( yes, in real life letters don’t have works cited, but hey this is an English class so you need to practice this skill)
4. Your letter should be properly formatted using 12 point Times New Roman Font, Heading, Title, Paragraph Breaks and Double Spacing
5. Your letter should try to make use of the works we have read/listened to/ or discussed
6. Your essay should be between 900-1500 words. This should not include your heading or works cited page
7. The essay will be due in class
8. Remember, your essay must not be a summary of the events. Instead, you should be focusing on discussing and reflecting on ” How”/”Why” .
