Who is Frederick Winterbourne?
Choose: Choose a quotation from Part I or Part II of Daisy Miller for deep analysis of Fred’s psyche. Use only a quote that describes Winterbourne’s thinking as accessed through James’ omniscient narrator.
Opening: Open this section with a version of this statement: “In Henry James’ Daisy Miller, Winterbourne’s character is revealed through the point of view.
Organization: Use the “Quote Sandwich” (184-93) strategy to organize your chosen quoted line or passage between a set-up and a follow-up. The set-up should include a contextualization that summarizes what is happening in the scene and an effective lead-in. The follow-up goes beyond a literal translation includes analysis of specific word choice, tone, punctuation and point-of-view in drawing significant inferences about Winterbourne’s character.
Maximum Length: No more than 350 words.
Technical: Review the “Quote Sandwich” chapter (Adios 183-92). Follow MLA guidelines for changing or omitting lines in a quote and for blocking quotes of four or more lines. Here is a link to MLA guidelines as accessed through Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab (OWL). https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_general_format.html
Rubric: You will be evaluated on your technical management of quoting, your quotation choice, the effectiveness of your set-up and follow-up, and on the and quality and depth of your analysis of the chosen quotation to infer Winterbourne’s inner self.
