Writing Task
Write an interpretive research essay of at least 2500 words in which you explore the themes and arguments presented in Louise Erdrich’s The Night Watchman. You can choose to respond to one of the Writing Questions on or select a different area of focus than the ones delineated in these questions. While perhaps not the sole structure of your essay, analyzing the use of literary devices and explicating the conscious rhetorical choices the author made in writing the fiction is a requirement of the essay. Plot summary/explanation essays will not be accepted. Because this is a research essay, you will need to look at the body of discussion surrounding this text, meaning you will review what literary critics have said about the work and research any relevant contextual history that helps inform your understanding of the novel’s themes. You may also choose to look at the novel through a theoretical framework (i.e. feminism, historical, Marxism, structuralism, etc.) but doing so is not a requirement of the essay. Your essay must be in academic format: thesis-driven writing with clear topic sentences, textual evidence, coherent explanation, and formal diction. While you may begin researching your essay at any time, I do recommend that you receive thesis concept approval from me prior to drafting.

What are some of the domestic violence intervention strategies?
Suppose a 17-year-old male was in a sexual relationship with a female in her thirties. This is a willing relationship on both sides, perhaps even a relationship begun by the male. Now, if the genders were reversed and the male was the older member of the couple, the relationship would be considered sexual assault, pure and simple. But, in a situation with an older woman/younger man: 1. what do you think could or should be done? Anything? 2.Should the woman be prosecuted in this case? Should the young man (a willing participant) be considered as an adult, or as still under-aged? Think again about the scenario as it stands, and then as it would be with reversed gender roles. Joyce is a 34-year-old woman who has been married 10 years. She has three children, all less than 10 years old: Sheena (age 9), Jack (age 6), and Beth (age 2). Her husband is a prominent attorney. They present an ideal picture of an upper-middle-class family. They live in a fashionable suburb. The husband has been successful to the extent that he has been made a full partner in a large law firm. The family is very active in church, the country club, and various other social organizations. Joyce is an active member of several charitable, civic, and social groups. Joyces initial call to the abuse center was vague and guarded. She expressed an interest in inquiring for another woman in regard to the purpose of the center. After she had received information and an invitation to call back, a number of weeks elapsed. Joyces second call occurred after receiving a severe beating from her husband. Joyce tells the crisis worker in the phone:”Well, last night he beat me worse than ever. I thought he was really going to kill me this time. It had been building up for the past few weeks. His fuse was getting shorter and shorter, both with me and the kids. Its his work, I guess. Finally he came home late last night. Dinner was cold. We were supposed to go out, and I guess it was my fault . . . I complained about his being late, and he blew up. Started yelling that he was gonna teach me a lesson. He started hitting me with his fists . . .knocked me down . . . and then started kicking me. I got up and ran into the bathroom. The kids were yelling for him to stop and he cuffed Sheena . . . God, it was horrible! (Wracked with sobs for more than a minute. CW waits.) Im sorry, I just cant seem to keep control.” As the crisis worker: 1-What typical dynamics did you see occurringdenial, guilt, fear, rationalization, withdrawal, and so onin the victim? How would you as the crisis worker handle them? What are some of the domestic violence intervention strategies? Pick one and how would you apply it to the scenario Please remember to use references and APA style.
