Dramatic Analysis “The Seagull" Paper Revising

1. check and revise does my paper follows the structure based on the instruction's requirements (see "Seagull Text Analysis" documents below)

2. check and revise the grammar mistakes, sentence structures, and words choices

3. check and revise all the unclear ideas or somewhere the example does not support my thesis and point of view to make my idea easy to read and understand

4. please use Word software, and turn on the "track changes" on the tool bar to label the changes that you have made

I also attack the dramatic play "The Seagull" that I wrote the paper about to help you revising my papaer so see the attacked documents below

Text Analysis Assignment

NOTE ABOUT CITATIONS: You must quote exactly from the text; and when you do you must cite the Page, Act, and Scene.

Reason for Citations: Since this class is an exercise in Point of View (POV) you must be able to back up your POV with unambiguous citations from the text that will support your thinking and POV. If you cannot point to it in the text your opinion has no basis.

Informed Inferences: Sometimes a writer will not explicitly tell you all the specific circumstantial details like Year, Social Situations, etc. but they will infer it. So, in certain cases you must make an informed inference based on the language and information in the text. Therefore, if there is not specific text to explicitly answer the questions of Given Circumstances or Social Situation you must be able to reference the text in an INFORMED way to make a thoughtful inference. Informed inferences also need citations from the text to back them up.

Given Circumstances: Use citations to support each point

I am looking for a minimum of one full page of writing per topic. Choose four out of the five areas to explore and discuss: Politics, Race, Class, Gender, Sexuality with fully developed thinking and citation support.

For each topic, I will expect you to follow this format:

One introductory paragraph that articulates your thesis and POV about the topic.

Body of the Writing: This can be structured in any way that you desire that best helps to illustrate your point. You need to explore TWO examples from the play that help to support your thesis statement. And for each example you need to quote and cite TWO examples from the text.

A strong conclusion that ties everything together and supports your initial thesis.

-RACE

-CLASS

-GENDER
