Here is what I wrote for my paper porposal.


For my paper proposal I have chosen to read Ernest Hemingway?s The Sun Also Rises and explain how World War I is tied into this novel. I will explain how Hemingway?s experiences in World War I influenced his writing of The Sun Also Rises. I will attempt to, to a certain degree, take on the role/viewpoint of a soldier returning from war and acclimating back to civilian life. Many veterans feel that civilian life is dull or less exciting, and are searching for a sense of purpose as they felt in the military. The Sun Also Rises is quoted as ??the disillusionment and angst of the post-World War I generation...? which is exactly what I want to write about. Although Hemingway was not a soldier himself but an ambulance driver, how he is able to so masterfully take on the point of view and emotions of a World War I veteran is amazing. His characters are profoundly affected by the war and with their return to civilian life, must decide how they fit into society. The 1920?s was very vibrant and exciting time but also morally corrupt and filled with drunken getaways to escape harsher realities. Hemingway does a remarkable job taking us on a journey with his characters and how they decide what they will become in a post-World War I society. World War I has affected each character differently, for example one character became impotent and the other incapable of loving and sleeping with only one man. A list of literature of I will be using for my paper is as follows;
Anything Goes: A Biography of the Roaring Twenties by Lucy Moore
Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s by Frederick Lewis Allen
No Man?s Land: Combat and Identity in World War I by Eric J. Leed

Point out interesting/troublesome aspects of the texts, provide support for your argument. You will thus need to address BOTH texts and should address them in a balanced manner (i.e., devoting roughly comparable space to each). In a compare/contrast paper, usually, you can find it easiest to talk about the two texts separately, pointing out what you see as notable in Text A before shifting to your discussion of Text B in which you give particular attention to similarities and differences (and how those differences are significant in the larger reading of both works). Organize your paper around elements (e.g., role of author, style, etc.) and describe how both texts deal with each element, but I usually find such an approach is harder to pull off as the reader ends up ping-ponging between texts and losing sight of "the biggger picture."


. QUOTATIONS. you should make good use of direct quotations in your discussion. You should generally avoid long passages -- try to find a way to pick out only those bits that are most relevant using an ellipses (". . . " -- note spacing betwen periods) to indicate where you've cut text -- but if you do have a long passage, i.e, longer than 4 lines of typed text, then the same should be presented in a block which is set off from the remainder of the paragraph in being single-spaced with margins moved in 1/2" on both sides. You don't need to include quotation marks around a block quote as these are implied in the blocking.
