Write about the reception of Don Quixote in the U.S. since WW II

/in /by

Discuss at least three literary works. One of these can be the panel you were on. In addition to the three literary texts, you may also choose to talk about references to Don Quixote in popular culture, including, but not limited to, film versions such as The Fisher King, directed by Terry Gilliam.

It is crucial to construct an argument, grouping together and comparing/contrasting the various approaches to Don Quixote in the distinct examples you analyze. 

You may wish to use the notion of “strategy of appropriation” as an analytical took for interpreting the way the author makes use of Don Quixote.

In trying to explain the similarities/differences between the works, you may want to consider, among other factors, the gender/race/ethnicity of the author, his or her regional identity, in which decade it was written, or what movement or other tendency it might belong to.

In analyzing the texts, you will want to consider factors such as those we have looked at all semester, such as: character, plot, theme, tone, narrative technique, irony, literary allusion, motif, etc.

Here is the list of literary works that we have read that are relevant to this question:

Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums

Saul Bellow, Herzog

Dale Wasserman, I, Don Quixote/Man of la Mancha

John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces

Ron Arias, The Road to Tamazunchale

Ernesto Qui�nez, Bodega Dreams

Junot D�z, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Kathy Acker, Don Quixote

Paul Auster, City of Glass . must use this book and I attached a file of similarities

Assignment 2: Research Paper Draft

Assignment 2: Research Paper Draft

Okay, you have your thoughts down on paper and have gone over your organizational structure to be sure that your argument is presented in the clearest possible way. Then you have reviewed your claims to be sure that your reasoning is sound. You may have written a first draft that contained only your own words.

Now it is time to add in the support that external sources provide. Think of your sources as a scholarly friend standing beside you when you make a claim, saying that you are right. This friend cannot be the main speaker but can offer affirmation of whatever you are saying. As you add in support, be sure to cite every idea that is not your own. Be sure to indicate with quotation marks and APA style citations precisely what material is from a direct quote, paraphrase, or summary, so as to avoid plagiarism. Do not include the annotations from previous drafts in this reference page. You only need the reference list in a paper draft.

The second draft should be the best you can offer without feedback from your instructor.

Here are the traits of a good second draft:

  • Your paper should, at this point, be 6–8 pages of text in length, not counting the title, reference, or abstract pages. (The final will be between 8–10 pages of text).
  • Your paper makes a single, main point, a single, argumentative claim that is not too broad, not too narrow, not a fact, and not a feeling.
  • All sentences in your paper directly relate to and support your single thesis statement.
  • You support your initial claim with the university-level evidence gathered during your research, and occasionally with personal experience, objectively, presented from the third-person point of view.   .
  • You correctly cite, in APA style, every claim that is not your own or common knowledge and include all necessary information. Each references page entry must have at least one corresponding in-text citation.
  • In-text citations are correctly formed, with author’s last names and year-dates.
  • You give full credit for any ideas that are not your own.
  • Quotes are correctly formatted in either quote marks when short or extensive blockquotes when long.
  • Your main point is an original claim that is consistent with current research on the subject selected.
  • You avoid fallacious arguments.
  • Your word choice and language level show that you have a college-level audience in mind.
  • You present the strongest arguments against your claim.
  • You reply appropriately to all objections, agreeing with those that are correct, showing the errors in those that are not correct, and acknowledging any areas where you are uncertain.
  • You include a properly formatted, APA style title/cover page. The text should be centered and include all the required information.
  • Your abstract is presented correctly, without indents, and presents an accurate overview of the paper.
  • You include a properly formatted running header and page number on each page.
  • Your text in the body of your paper is formed with one inch margins all around, in 12 point Times New Roman plain, black font.
  • Your paper ends with a properly formatted, APA style references page that is double-spaced with hanging indentation, proper capitalization, and italicization of major titles. The reference page conforms to expectations of APA format for books, periodicals, and Web sites.

By Wednesday, March 15, 2017, post your research paper draft to the M4: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

Assignment 2: Fran’s Virtual Fruit Stand, Part 2
Due Week 9 and worth 160 points

Use the concepts and scenario from Assignment 1 to help Fran’s Virtual Fruit Stand increase the functionality of its online shopping cart. When a customer checks out, the shopping cart must store the required data pertaining to each item the customer is buying. Your job is to design a program that will prompt the user for the required data and then store it. The required data includes the item name, the price per pound, and the number of pounds of that item being purchased. When complete, your program should include three (3) arrays, two (2) loops, one (1) and / or conditional statement, and one (1) variable.

Using Visual Logic, design a flowchart that is also a fully functional program to add functionality to the online shopping cart. According to your design, the program must:

  1. Continually accept data regarding the purchase of fruit as specified below until the user enters a sentinel value, or until five (5) items are entered, whichever comes first.
  2. Prompt the user for each item and accept the name of the fruit (e.g., “dried apples”), the price per pound, and the number of pounds sold in a month.
  3. Store the required data in three (3) arrays (e.g., one (1) for the item name, one (1) for the price per pound, and one (1) for the number of pounds being purchased) with corresponding index values. Note: For example, index value 3, when applied to the “itemName” array, would give us the name of the third item that the customer is buying. That same index value of 3, when applied to the “pricePerPound” array, would give us the price per pound of that same third item that the customer is buying.
  4. Store up to five (5) values in each of the three (3) arrays.
  5. Provide functionality in which the user ends the program by typing a sentinel value, and the program tells the user what the sentinel value is. Note: An acceptable message may read “Type n to end the program.”, where “n” is the sentinel value. If the user does not end the program in this way, then the program ends when it has collected the data for five (5) items.
  6. Print an itemized receipt with the following data after the last item in the purchase has been saved to the array.
    • Item name
    • Price per pound of each item
    • Number of pounds purchased of each item
    • Subtotal price for each item, calculated as price per pound multiplied by the number of pounds
    • Total weight of the entire order (in pounds)
    • The cost of shipping which is based on the total weight of the entire order, calculated as 50 cents per pound. Note: For example, if the entire order weighs seven (7) pounds, the cost of shipping would be $3.50.
    • Grand total price of all items and shipping.

Note: Use the “console” option in the output command to accomplish this task. An example of an acceptable output has been provided below:
