//In Our Time// 50 points by Ernest Hemingway __+10__ points for formatting Essay assignment 60 points total Hemingway’s collection of short writings, //In Our Time//, covers many topics, many settings, and many different characters. Why does he write this way? What is he telling us? Write an essay to explain how Hemingway uses aspects of modernism to convey a theme. Your thesis should state Hemingway’s theme and which aspects of modernism he uses to get that idea across. This is a five-paragraph essay. Your first paragraph should start with a broad introduction that leads to your thesis (what Hemingway is telling us) at the end of the paragraph. This paper will have six examples from the book to support your ideas. The easiest way to do this is with three body paragraphs. You may want to structure your essay around the stories themselves (three stories, with two examples from each) or around the aspects of modernism (three aspects of modernism with two examples each from different stories). Remember to cite the page numbers in parentheses at the end of your citation. Spend some time thinking about this! There is a lot happening in this book if we work to tease out the meaning. I look forward to reading your insights!

A 45 - 50 points B 40 - 44 points C 35 - 39 points D 30 - 34 points

Some things to remember while you write your essay: · Double space the whole essay. · Use a legible 12-point font with lower case and capital letters. · In the **upper left-hand corner** list your name, my name, the course title, and the date. · //Italicize// the title of the book. (If handwritten, __underline__ the title of the book.) · Use quotation marks around the title of a short story: “The End of Something” · Spell Hemingway correctly (and Ernest, too, if you use his first name in the introduction).

You should have at least one direct quotation in each body paragraph. The following is the format for punctuating quotations: · If the quotation ends in a period: Huck’s father says, “Don’t give me none o’ your lip” (27). · If the quotation ends in an exclamation mark or a question mark: Huck asks Jim, “Have you got hairy arms and a hairy chest?” (64). · If you use the Norton Anthology article on modernism identify it in your text: According to the Norton Anthology article modernism, the inaccessibility of modernism “reduced its own audience.”

Don’t just drop the words from the text into your essay. Explain where the words come from. · DON’T: Huck is ready to go to hell for Jim. “All right, I’ll go to hell” (297). · DO: Huck tears up the letter and says, “All right, I’ll go to hell” (297).

· DON’T: Hemingway shows that men have casual feelings about war. “We were frightfully put out when we heard the flank had gone, and we had to fall back” (37). · DO: Hemingway’s word choice shows that men have casual feelings about war when his narrator in “Chapter IV” explains, “We were frightfully put out when we heard the flank had gone, and we had to fall back” (37).
