Any topic (writer’s choice)

Sylvia Plath was a visual artist and a writer. A selection of her drawings were sold and made available online. In your third discussion posting, you will pair one of Plaths drawings with one quotation from chapters 5-8, asserting an argument regarding what the similarities or differences teach us about the novel. As you analyze the drawing and the passage from the novel together, take into account the visual elements that make the drawing a drawing and the written elements that makes the novel a novel. Include a screenshot of your image with your posting. You can capture it using Jing.

Click “create thread” to post your response on our Blackboard Discussion Board. Your response will be at least 250 words and take the shape of the “sandwich paragraph” from Understanding Rhetoric. Postings will be graded using the discussion posting rubric. You are also required to respond to at least one of your classmates postings within 48 hours of the deadline.

Remember to cite all sources you consult and add a list of works cited that includes the edition of the novel that you quote from. You must use your own words, cite, and quote appropriately. If you are using an e-book, you can cite chapters rather than page numbers in parentheses.
