Write a 500-750 word essay in which you answer one of the prompts below. The essay must adhere to MLA formatting standards and follow the conventions of college level writing. You will need to develop a thesis that answers your chosen prompt and then use evidence from the text(s) to support that thesis. All textual evidence (summary, quotation, and paraphrase) needs to be correctly identified as outside material and cited properly. You should NOT do any outside research but should instead use only your analysis of the text and the supplemental article as your support. In order to prove yourself a credible literary analyst, it is crucial that you use the vocabulary of literary analysis. Refer to the text and literature PowerPoint often to be sure you are writing in the correct vernacular.
The Topic:
Using “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been” and the article “The Pied Piper of Tucson” as your focus, make an argument about the ethics of using realistic tragedy as the basis of entertainment. Is it ethical for Oates to make money using this tragedy as her inspiration? What is the purpose of her story and what, if anything, can it teach us?
