Assignment 2
Assignment 2 is due at the beginning of class March 11, 2025.
You must write a brief essay of about 600 words, less than two pages. Essays should be formatted with 1 inch margins, double spacing, and 12 point type. Please turn in a paper copy in class.
You don't need an extra page for your name and the title or another extra page for references to works cited (If you cite any works, you need to indicate a reference). Write clearly. Choose the right words, shape your ideas into meaningful sentences, and structure your argument into cohesive paragraphs. Be precise. Make sure you say exactly what you mean and demonstrate anything you assert. Be brief and get to your point directly, without lengthy introductions or digressions. Avoid giving background information, write only about the work in question. Express your insights. Demonstrate that you have given some consideration to the ideas you are expressing and that you understand how these ideas relate to other ways of looking at the topic.
The specific question is this. In Mykola Khvylovy's story “Puss in Boots,” is the titular character of the story a victim of gender stereotypes or a successful feminist warrior in the battle against such gender stereotypes? What roles does she pay in the story? How do others see her? How does the name "Puss in Poots" reflect who she is?
