Explanatory Synthesis essay on Medea and Wife of Bath – topic: women, gender roles, women\’s power in relationshipMedeaWife of Bath, Canterbury TalesThis writing task requires that you present the information from these sources accurately and briefly. Your task is to inform the readers, impartially, of your essay about these positions without favoring a particular one. Furthermore, think of the different cultural and historical backgrounds of the two texts.Pre-WritingThink about your writing task. Identify subtopics that the sources have in common. List as many as you can. Choose a few subtopics that seem best suited for the purpose of this task. Some of these can be but are not limited to: the representation of women, the reasons behind war, the representation and creation of heroes, and representation and importance of families. You can use other scholarly sources to support your topics.IntroductionUse a strategy to capture your reader\’s attention and direct it toward the topic. The purpose of your introduction is, naturally, to introduce your primary text, your topic, and, in this case, the authors and their articles (your “sources”). Briefly summarize their divergent positions in relation to the topic, and then establish which subtopics you plan to discuss (this is your “essay map”). The final sentence of this section may be your thesis statement, which states the reason for alerting your readers to the discussion that follows (your writing purpose).The BodyFor each subtopic, paraphrase the authors\’ views, giving each source equal time, space, and consideration. Explain what reasoning and evidence each uses to support their view. Include the specific quotations from the primary text each source uses as support. Remember that this is an explanatory synthesis, so your reporting should be as impartial as possible. Be sure to provide a clear topic sentence for each subtopic, and use transition markers to help you shift between the authors\’ viewpoints and between subtopics (this will enhance your essay’s coherence).The ConclusionWrite a conclusion that explains the significance of the topic. Use this opportunity to leave your reader with a lasting impression of your treatment of the topic and the skill with which you satisfied the task you set out for yourself in the introduction. Avoid simply repeating your thesis and essay map, as this approach hardly communicates sophistication.RevisionCarefully revise the draft of your essay by reconsidering the ideas in it and the way you organized them. Then consider whether you maintained the right tone (impartial and informative) and whether the essay needs further logical and phrasal transitions to improve its coherence. Finally, proofread your essay for errors in word usage, syntax (word-form and word-group order), and punctuation.Citation StyleUse MLA consistently to attribute information and expression of ideas to your sources. Every time you quote or paraphrase from the sources provide the corresponding parenthetical citation. The last page of your essay should be a “Works Cited” page, which, as the name indicates, lists the sources to which you made reference in your essay.
