Position Paper 1

Now we will move on to the next major requirement of the course which is the

POSITION PAPER

This exercise will require you to be critical and the nature of the paper is argumentative.

1000 words (not less)

Choose ONE text from those listed below:

1. Mariah by Che Husna Azhari

2. The Landlady by Roald Dahl

3. Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl

4. Any short stories from the new and old cycle of the secondary school literature component.

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME IF I HAD FORGOTTEN ANY OTHER TEXTS MENTIONED DURING THE F2F?

I have made your life very easy by giving you the links to the texts. I have also decided to only work on short stories this time instead of telling you to work on any genre of literary works that you like. I know and love all these stories well so I'll be more strict this time around.

I need you all to choose a text and read it thoroughly. Just do that first.

The next posting will be on how to come up with a POSITION.

We will do it step by step because this can be quite a challenging thing to do but it is most rewarding once done correctly.

Thank you.
