SPRING 2024 COMPOSITION 102: FORMAL RESEARCH PAPER #4 PROMPT<\/span>
Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro presents a dynamic narrative and meditation upon a<\/span>
multitude of themes and concepts in his novel<\/span> <\/span>Klara and the Sun,<\/span> <\/span>such as: the complexities of human<\/span>
nature and what it means to be human, posthumanism, the role of arti<\/span><\/span>cial intelligence and<\/span>
technology in our modern lives, dystopia, environmentalism, loneliness, our relationship to death and<\/span>
mortality, connection, and love. These themes each have radical consequences for humanity in the<\/span>
realms of psychology, emotional landscapes and emotional literacy, evolution, etc.<\/span>
Choosing one or more of the novel\u2019s myriad themes (not limited to those listed above and discussed in<\/span>
class), craft a 5-7 page essay analyzing how and why your chosen theme(s) is\/are portrayed and how it<\/span>
develops an overarching perspective on human nature. How are the themes of the novel related to<\/span>
humanity and\/or human nature? How are these themes relevant for the way we interact with each<\/span>
other and with the world in these modern times\u2014and how might they reshape how we understand<\/span>
ourselves (past, present, and future)?<\/span>
You may also want to consider the following questions, if it helps jumpstart\/further your analysis: Is<\/span>
Ishiguro optimistic in his portrayal? Is he prescient in his world-building? How do the ideas and events<\/span>
in his novel connect to our world today? How does Klara o<\/span><\/span>er insights on what makes us human?<\/span>
How might our world shift and change\u2014for individuals on a smaller scale and or society\/collectives on<\/span>
a larger scale\u2014if we incorporated the themes of the novel into our own lives, or became more aware of<\/span>
the issues presented?<\/span>
Incorporate at least three outside sources<\/span> <\/span>(citing at least one quote from each outside source). Your<\/span>
paper should be 5-7 pages long, typed, double-spaced, and in a standard 12-point font.<\/span>
Here are crucial points to keep in mind as you begin planning and writing your paper:<\/span>
\u25cf<\/span> <\/span>Plan your essay before you begin writing. This will greatly facilitate the organization and<\/span>
cohesive<\/span> <\/span><\/span>ow of your paper.<\/span>
\u25cf<\/span> <\/span>Keep in mind that your essay should propose a thesis, be framed with topic sentences, and o<\/span><\/span>er<\/span>
analysis and textual support. Remember that it should be well-organized and grammatically<\/span>
correct. Be sure to save enough time and energy to proofread your essay.<\/span>
\u25cb<\/span> <\/span>State a topic sentence for each body paragraph, and ensure that each paragraph<\/span> <\/span><\/span>ows<\/span>
smoothly into the next.<\/span>
\u25cb<\/span> <\/span>State your thesis and main supporting points in a clear and concise manner in your<\/span>
introductory paragraph.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u25cf<\/span> <\/span>Dig deeper into the referenced texts by using direct quotations and examples from the text.<\/span>
\u25cf<\/span> <\/span>Delve into an analysis of the author\u2019s words.<\/span>
\u25cb<\/span> <\/span>As always, be careful not to simply summarize what the author has to say or use the<\/span>
question as a springboard for a personal response. Maintain close contact with the<\/span>
speci<\/span><\/span>c prompt question and the speci<\/span><\/span>c text, and keep in mind the important<\/span>
concepts and guidelines we\u2019ve discussed thus far in class.<\/span>
\u25cb<\/span> <\/span>Do not simply state examples and leave them hanging. Do not simply summarize the<\/span>
text; complete each thought. Ask yourself: Why is this example or quote relevant to an<\/span>
answering of the prompt?<\/span>
\u25cf<\/span> <\/span>Reference the rubrics to ensure your essay meets all listed criteria to the best of your abilities.<\/span>
\u25cf<\/span> <\/span>Keep in mind that focus yields more depth of analysis, while too broad of a viewpoint creates<\/span>
generalizations and shallow points.<\/span>
\u25cf<\/span> <\/span>Do not simply restate what was discussed in class. Further analyze what we discussed, and<\/span>
develop new viewpoints with greater detail.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
