Sex & Power in My Name is Red and Kiss of the Spider Woman

    Topic:
    This is your first sentence, copy it down to begin your paper:

    In both My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk and Kiss of the Spider Woman by Manuel Puig, sex is not only an expression of intimacy and a source of pleasure – sex is inextricably linked with power.  [Finish the paragraph by elaborating a little bit; this will be your introductory paragraph.]

    Length:
    3 full pages minimum, 4 full pages maximum, SINGLE-SPACED  – Take a look at the sentences you’re reading now.  This is single-spaced.
    As you can see, even between paragraphs there’s only a single space.  So you can check your paper against this sample.  Often, Microsoft Word is set up for one-and-a-half spaces – so you’ll need to fix that. Go to “Format” and click on “Paragraph” and adjust “Line Spacing” to “Single,” and then check the box that says: “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style.”

    The body of your essay:
    I expect to read an interesting interpretive analysis.  I expect to read a polished paper.  Every paragraph you write should offer something new to think about.  Your paper should include relevant, intriguing direct quotations from the text. Respond to these quotes with attentive and sophisticated analysis.  Do not refer to “I” or “me” or “my.”  Focus on the text.  No need to discuss yourself.  Do not summarize the novel.  You should be analyzing it.
    There’s no way you can “cover” this big topic as it relates to these two novels.  I’m expecting you to choose some intriguing, relevant moments in these novels to explore – moments that allow you to “show off” your interpretive abilities!

    I have attached the Prompt (which is copied above) to the assignment.
