Fоr questiоns 2-4, chоose one question to аnswer Depictions of indigenous peoples in Americаn literаture From John Smith of Jamestown to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s costumed parade in “My Kinsman, Major Molineux,” American writers have depicted American Indians. Trace the changing representation of Native Americans through at least four of the author’s works we have read so far this semester. Include some indication of why the literary picture of the Indians has changed. Be specific and use direct quotations as support from the texts. The American man (and has he become a stereotype) In this question, I ask you consider how early American literature defines the American man. Many times in our readings, an author has directly addressed a reader or otherwise firmly stated that author’s definition of manhood. Using at least texts from four authors we have read, explain what characteristics an America man has. Consider: Is there an ideal American man? What are the characteristics of that American man? Are there any author’s who offer a deviating vision of the American man? What are the positive example of American manhood we are shown? By that, I mean what are we told in the literature that a man is supposed to be? What are the negative definitions of American manhood? By that, I mean what are we told in the literature that a man is not supposed to do, say, or be? Does the American man become a stereotype? The intersection of religion and literature From John Smith’s invocation of God to Tom Paine’s propaganda and beyond, God and religion are always being mentioned in early American literature. Often God is mentioned as part of a belief system that is being advocated. But sometimes, God figures into the plot of one of the works that we have read. Discuss how mention of God and/or religion function in the narrative of at least four author’s works we have read in the course. Do people act in a certain way because of their religious beliefs? Does a belief in God cause a conflict? Is religion a plot point in one of the selections?
