Discuss about patient and provider relationships in Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. The purpose of the assignment is to marshal what youve learned in class, and what youve explored in your previous pieces of writing, in order to advance a clear, original argument about the patient-provider relationships in the course reading. Patient-provider relationships are meant in the broadest sense possible, covering person-to-person interactions as well as the medical industrys relationship to patients, more publicly conceived. In other words, you are invited to write about any aspect of the relationship (its absence or presence, its health, its consequences, its development, challenges or triumphs, and so on) between patients and providers that our course reading frames: politics, patient outcomes, negligence, intimacy, music, race, history, religion, family, friendship, gender, consent, grief, eavesdropping, obligation, sex, etc. Whatever your central concern, your task is to write a well-designed, well-developed, paper that offers close readings of significant moments from your chosen text as evidence to support your reading/argument.
First, this is an argumentative paper, one backed up by evidence from the text; it should also be backed up by at least two secondary sources that are to be cited in your paper. Your secondary sources can come from scholarly books or articles published in peer-reviewed journals, written for either the Sciences or the Humanities. Someones personal blog or a student-study site like Gradesaver or Sparknotes do not count as peer-reviewed. Your goal is to synthesize and organize the information you gather from these sources into your analysis by introducing readers to a scholarly conversation. Citations from all sources should be given parenthetically just after the quote or reference, with a Works Cited listed, in MLA style, at the end.
Second, at some point, your paper should bring two texts from this class into conversation with one another. While you should focus on one central text (like Frankenstein) in your paper, I am asking you to take the ideas from another text and set them into the conversation. For example, how can you use Skloots The Immortal Life or Gawandes Being Mortal to think through Shelleys Frankenstein? How can Biss On Immunity help us read Woolfs On Being Ill? The point is to read one text by the light of another. To be clear, this is not a comparative paper, where you say, Skloot does this, but Sacks does this; however, Sacks does this, and Skloot does that! Rather, the point is to use one text and its ideas to help produce or frame the reading of another.
