For this paper I would like you to consider how one text on the syllabus describes, enacts, complicates and/or resolves one particular paradox. (You need not choose one from my list above – feel free to consider your own.) Your paper must develop an argument that does two things:

1) Shows precisely how the text depicts the particular paradox; and

2) Shows how a consideration of this paradoxical issue is essential to your understanding of the text as a whole.

I am doing it because it's pretty loving easy. My better major is Sociology, which is actually a bachelor's of science so I have to do calculus and higher level statistics.
I also care a whole hell of a lot about what you think.

I have to tell you, I would tack on business, econ, math, history, or whatever else you are loving interested in.
English is like one of THE worst looking majors on its own. It's a nuanced history of Britain combined with writing pretty goddamned often.

Thing is, it's like the best double major to have if you're even remotely serious about anything else.
Sciences? You're everyone's technical writer (better pay for you)
Social Sciences? You know how to communicate with others without sounding like an rear end in a top hat.
Business? Read sciences.
Other Humanities? Depends on what it is, but if you're majoring in some sort of marketable ability (i.e. Design) then you have a huge step up because you don't sound like a fascist when you write.

What is The Coquette about OP

It's an Epistolary novel about this flirty bitch who has such a rough time choosing whether she wants to marry some douchebag major or some nerd reverend. It's set in the 18th century like right after the American Revolution.

Bitch ends up getting engaged to the reverend dude, but still keeps major general human being at her side. Eventually the reverend dude gets pissed off that his fiance is friends with major dickbreath because dickbreath is trying to hit that.

Zoom ahead a year and this girl has depression and some chronic condition. She meets the now married major dickbreath at a party, but what the bitch doesn't know is that major deeznuts is penniless.

They gently caress. She gets preggo with deeznuts child. Deeznuts sets up to take her to a hospital upstate, where she dies giving birth to a stillborn. Her family and friends grieve while major damascus is persecuted for fowl play.

roll credits, everyone laughs.
