Question 1) In two paragraphs (totaling about 400 words) discuss the ways in which Willy and Shelly are alike or not alike. Create clear topic ideas and support your ideas with cited quotes from the plays. Respond to two other students when you are done. question two; For your paper you are to answer BOTH of the following questions, using the two plays and sources that come from the course. You must cite all you answers using MLA formatting. Use OWL Purdue if you need help with MLA. Also, review the videos in the Plagiarism Module to get some insight into some of the skills and issues invovled in citing a paper using MLA. Submit both answers as one document. Label each prompt as One and Two. Write at least 750 - 1000 words for each paper. Create a Works Cited page at the end of each answer. Again, put both papers into one document that you will upload here. Prompt One (answer both one and two) In a 750 - 1000 word, well-paragraphed essay, discuss how Willy and Shelley are or are not examples of tragic heroes. Use quotes from both Miller and Aristotle when defining what a tragic hero is then use quotes from Miller and Mamet's plays, when connecting those ideas to the two characters. Prompt Two (again answer both one and two and include both answers in one document) In a 750 - 1000 word, well paragraphed essay, discuss how Death of a Salesman represents a modernist critique of capitalism, while Glengarry Glenn Ross represents a postmodernists critique of capitalism.

Read, "Demarginalizing the intersection of race and sex" by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw. The article is fairly dry (it’s about legal questions and court cases!), but incredibly clear, concise, and useful for framing how we in WGS need to think about identity and discrimination. The term/concept has become a part of even mainstream feminist discourse recently.As you read, keep in mind: Intersectionality is a framework for thinking about how power (in terms of legal discrimination, but also the power to represent, politically) operates along multiple axes of identity Race, gender, but also sexuality, class, immigration status, national origin, religion, etc., etc. Intersectionality can help us: Understand the complexities of oppression Unpack layers of privilege and examine how privilege operates Home in on how certain people and populations are silenced and excluded due to being “multiply burdened” Productively critique political and cultural movements that don’t account for the complex ways power and identities converge, intersect, and interact Once you’ve finished reading, consider a critique of intersectionality. This (ultimately conservative) position levies that Crenshaw’s concept promotes the idea of an “Oppression Olympics.” This is “a characterization of marginalization as a competition to determine the relative weight of the overall oppression of individuals or groups, often by comparing race, gender, socioeconomic status or disabilities, in order to determine who is the worst off, and the most oppressed. The characterization often arises within debates about the ideological values of identity politics, intersectionality, and social privilege"
