Writing Assignment Guidelines: The Lives of Others The prompt for the fourth writing assignment is:

Does James Joyce's "Grace" or Katherine Mansfield's "The Garden Party" offer a more sympathetic treatment of the lives of the poor?

(Please note: there is not a correct answer to this question. Rather, you should consider the two works carefully, decide on your response, and then present the best evidence you have in favor of your position).

It should be 250 words. 10% either side is permissible, but pieces that are longer than 275 words, or shorter than 225, are liable to lose one letter grade. This limit applies to the text of your response; it does not include the title or works cited information.

(Remember: the point is not simply to write down everything you can think of.)

Rather, give the topic some thought during the "discovery" process and decide what your argument is and what the best evidence is you have to support that argument. At that point you should start crafting your response(i.e. working on the "presentation" of the argument).
