Directiоns: Chооse ONE of the following prompts аnd write а well-developed, multi-pаragraph essay. Your essay must include a clear thesis statement and utilize specific textual evidence (scenes, plot points, or paraphrased quotes) from at least two different authors we read in Unit Four. Prompt A: The Individual in the Machine Unit Four presents vastly different views of the individual's place within society. Walt Whitman celebrates the individual as a vital, interconnected thread in the democratic fabric of America. Herman Melville, however, presents Bartleby as an individual completely alienated and crushed by the expectations of society and labor. Compare and contrast how two authors from this unit portray the relationship between the individual and the larger society. Ultimately, which author’s vision do you find to be the most culturally significant? Prompt B: The "Alternative Interpretation" Defense In our final week, you were asked to "steal" a classmate's artifact and argue that it fit a different author. Put that skill to use here: Consider the theme of mortality and death. We have seen it personified as a polite carriage driver (Dickinson), presented as a terrifying psychological breakdown (Poe), and shown as a lonely, inevitable fading away (Melville). Select two authors from this unit and argue how their distinct approaches to mortality reflect the shifting cultural and philosophical contexts of 19th-century America.
