Necessary Text: Why is the life of a mouse not absurd? The orbit of the moon is not absurd either, but that involves no strivings or aims at all.

Necessary Text: Why is the life of a mouse not absurd? The orbit of the moon is not absurd either, but that involves no strivings or aims at all.

A mouse, however, has to work to stay alive. Yet he is not absurd, because he lacks the capacities for self-consciousness and self-transcendence that would enable him to see that he is only a mouse. If that did happen, his life would become absurd, since self-awareness would not make him cease to be a mouse and would not enable him to rise above his mousely strivings. Bringing his new-found self-consciousness with him, he would have to return to his meager yet frantic life, full of doubts that he was unable to answer, but also full of purposes that he was unable to abandon.

Module Four Case Assignment: The New Haven Firefighters Affirmative Action has not received this kind of attention in a long time

Module Four Case Assignment: The New Haven Firefighters Affirmative Action has not received this kind of attention in a long time


Supreme Court Justice Sonya Santomayor ruled on a case in New Haven CT where there was a claim that the testing used for promotion within the New Haven fire department discriminated against minorities. This is not a law course so the legal details are not interesting here. We want to look at the managerial implications of this morally charged situation. So let's leave aside the issues of judicial activism and hermeneutics (interpretation) as a creative activity. From a managerial perspective I want to know:

Did the city of New Haven act reasonably in rejecting the test results based on the lack of minority representation?

When you reflect on these chapters, consider how you feel about Meursault's socializing with other characters. What do these relationships reveal about him?

When you reflect on these chapters, consider how you feel about Meursault's socializing with other characters. What do these relationships reveal about him?

Choose carefully the key passage in each chapter:

a. Read each chapter slowly, closely - pay attention to details, highlight meaningful passages.

b. Choose what you think to be the key passage in this chapter and copy it. Add citing.

c. Write your post explaining the passage, its details, why it's so important and meaningful, how it throws new light on the character, and how it advances the story.

A reminder: Begin with a thesis statement that includes the novel's title, writer's name, and the main point you are making. You can use short quotes from the entire chapter. Conclude with a strong, interesting statement, something you have not said before.

B. Post 4: Chapter 6, pp. 47- 59

Chapter 6 is one of the most important chapters in the book. It leaves open many questions. Notice the role of the sun and the sea. Have you encountered any of them earlier? Can you explain why does Meursault kill the Arab? Can you find anything to justify his action?

A reminder: This is your personal reflection on this chapter. (Remember to have thesis statement, short summary, short but significant quotes, signal phrases, citing.)

analysis of a poem in terms of themes and rhetorical strategies

analysis of a poem in terms of themes and rhetorical strategies


Just as the eighteenth-century slave narrators revised the trope of the talking book, writers in the black tradition have repeated and revised figures, tropes, and themes in prior works, leading to formal links in a chain of tradition that connects the slave narratives to [twentieth-century works]. [L]iterary representations must be learned through repetition and revision. The African American literary tradition exists as a formal entity because of this historical practice.[W]orks of literature created by African Americans often extend, or signify upon, other works of the black tradition, structurally and thematically (The Norton Anthology of African American Literature, 1997: xxxvi)

Carefully analyze the poem If We Must Die‚ by Claude McKay in terms of its themes and its rhetorical strategies. Explain how and why this poem is connected to the works of the vernacular tradition and to the writings of Henry Highland Garnet An Address to the Slaves of the United States of America. You are required to use secondary sources. ( The Book Reference is: The Norton Anthology of African American Literature: Henry Louis Gates Jr.and Nellie Y. McKay. In this book you will find all these required readings)
