Description

For Paper #2, you had two tasks. First, you had to make an argument as regards the reliability or unreliability of the narrator of Richard Brautigan’s novel In Watermelon Sugar. Second, you had to make an argument for whether iDEATH (the community in which he lives) is more utopian or dystopian. For Paper #3, you must enlist critical essays to strengthen the argument that you made in Paper #2. These critical essays have been provided in this week’s Learning Module. Five have been given; you must use three. Only these three sources are permitted—any other use of outside sources will be regarded as plagiarism. Which three essays should you use? Whichever three contain textual evidence and/or critical remarks which will help you support, strengthen, and enlarge the points that you already made in Paper #2. NOTE: Be sparing in your use of these sources. Do NOT quote excessively. Quote words or phrases, not whole sentences. Integrate the critical material into sentences of your own devising. Length: Five paragraphs (each paragraph must be a minimum of 12 sentences). Grammar and Punctuation: Edit for grammar and punctuation errors before submitting your paper for a grade. Style: Make statements that are clear, concise, and direct. Your sentences ought to abide by the classic Subject-Verb-Object structure. Always avoid repetition. After writing your draft, go through and eliminate all words that are unnecessarily repeated. Then go back and introduce more variety of vocabulary, more descriptive detail. Tone: You are analyzing a literary text and your audience is your college professor. Your tone, therefore, should be academic and analytical throughout. Avoid self-references. Format: MLA. Citation: Be sure to supply in-text citations as well as a Work Cited page, not only for the novel but for the three critical essays that you used. I have supplied the information you need in a footnote at the bottom of the first page of each essay. Paper Title: Make a two-part title, separating the parts with a colon. The first part of your title should be: Paper 3. The second half of your title should be a short phrase of your own devising, something which indicates research has been employed. Submission: Post your paper as a WORD doc attachment in the folder of the menu item titled: Paper 3. Deadline: Saturday, Dec. 19 at 11:59 p.m. You may submit your paper earlier, but not later

In the Watermelon Sugar, Brautigan utilizes a high level of skills to show how iDEATH is a
utopian society. The author uses numerous skills such as creating an imaginary picture to the
reader of how the place was like. Residents of this place reject violence from the old gang to
create a perfect picture of a peaceful community. Brautigan also uses the description of this
community to help the reader understand how utopian it is (Brautigan). To begin with, iDEATH
is a place where the sun shines in different colors every day. In this society, people also get the
opportunity to travel to the length of their dreams. According to the times' literary supplement,
the author “tells his stories, parables, and jokes in a style of fine simplicity and economy”(5).
His rich use of English makes it easy for the reader to understand what exactly the community he
is talking about. It thus becomes easy for the reader to understand and have a perfect picture of
how the iDEATH was like. The author also creates an image of how the place has grown after
the attack from the tiger. With such descriptions, the reader understands that the place has the
necessary utopia and it is a dream for everyone to live there (Brautigan). Brautigan’s reliability
and credibility show that iDEATH is the perfect place ...
