This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin®.InstructionsPaper 2: On Cancel Culture, Race Matters, and “Boys Go To Jupiter”Length, formatting: 900 words minimum, MLA formatted: 12-point, double-spaced, Times New Roman font, with appropriate heading and page numbers (see this video for how to format your paper in MLA using MS Word: ignore the stuff about "page break" from 2:06-3:00; just focus on doing your heading and page #s correctly): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMqTfSm7gdAPaper 2 is very, very similar to Paper 1, but this time with literature instead of film. More specifically, instead of the film “White Bear,” you will now analyze a short story called “Boys Go To Jupiter” by Danielle Evans, in terms of what you think it is teaching us about cancel culture, online shaming, and how these things relate to race matters and social justice in modern USA. So, “Boys Go To Jupiter” is your primary source here, while your secondary source is Mishan’s article (once again). [See attached files below directions for a pdf of “Boys Go To Jupiter” to read. as well as an audiobook I made of it for you. reading and listening at the same time helps with focus and comprehension. Or reading all of it once and then listening again after is good, too.]On one level, you are writing the same genre of paper and type of analysis that you did for the first paper. You’re making very similar moves with this paper, but replacing your “White Bear” stuff with new stuff about “Boys Go To Jupiter.” Evans’s story, however, is a more complex work of fiction than “White Bear,” and it addresses heavier matters related to social justice, racial justice, and race matters in the USA more generally.NOTE: For this paper, you can re-use (copy/paste/revise) the following parts of your Paper 1: a) your introductory paragraph, b) the paragraph where you define cancel culture/online shaming, c) any of the general statements you make about cancel culture/online shaming. Remember, though: make sure those previous sentences/paragraphs fit coherently into the flow of ideas (and don’t seemed simply randomly inserted); for the sake of clarity and coherence, revise those parts before re-using them (especially if I said you should in my comments/feedback for that paper). Do not reuse any of your “White Bear” sentences word-for-word here, but feel free to revise a couple of them if you can make them work for you here. And don’t mention “White Bear” in this paper at all (it’s only about Evans’s story).__________________________Some specific suggestions for your paragraph structure:Paragraph 1 (introduction and thesis statement): immediately orient the reader to the topic at hand. First couple sentences should make it clear that the broader topic of the paper is cancel culture. Then, in the next couple sentences, get to the most important part of this introductory paragraph—which is your thesis statement (or your overall main point/purpose of the paper), which will be something about how you see Danielle Evans addressing cancel culture in her story “Boys Go To Jupiter.” (Some advice: sometimes it’s a good idea for you to draft your body paragraphs first, then go back and compose your thesis statement as a 1-2 sentence summary of whatever your main point (s) ended up being in the rest of your paper.Body Paragraphs: In Paragraph 2, provide a solid definition of cancel culture that references In Paragraph 3 and beyond, you will develop an analysis of “Boys Go To Jupiter” in which you focus on one main scene or quote or passage from the story that you feel is telling/teaching us something important about cancel culture, race matters in the USA, or any social issue or problem that Evans connects with cancel culture and what such a social/behavioral phenomenon might reveal about our society and its values, contradictions, etc.Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that captures the main point of that paragraph. Each of your topic sentences should be some point/opinion/observation about cancel culture that prepares the reader for your analysis of a specific scene/part/passage/situation from the story. Include reference(s) to “Boys Go To Jupiter” in each of these paragraphs, whether by quoting directly, summarizing, or paraphrasing. Final body paragraph and then concluding paragraph): in the second-to-last paragraph, you should focus your own, more general perspective on the issue (cancel culture/online shaming); still, whatever point(s) you make here should be still serve to expand on related issues from “Boys Go To Jupiter” that you mentioned earlier. Conclusions in college papers often differ from conclusions you’ve written before in one major way: for college papers of this length, you do NOT need to re-state anything in the final paragraph, you don’t need to remind the reader of what they jest read. Here, you need to actually CONCLUDE something about the ideas you’ve been discussing and points you’ve been making. What’s the bigger picture relevance here? Why should we care about cancel culture, confederate flag type of controversies related to race matters/race relations/racial justice in the USA? Why do these things matter?? Etc. Those are the kinds of things you build towards in a conclusion.Works Cited Page: include an MLA-formatted Works Cited page.
