We have just finished our study of the novel The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson by Lois Simmie. For this essay assignment, you will be expected to choose an essay topic, develop a thesis, provide examples and quotations (a minimum of 3) from the novel to strengthen your arguments, and submit your final draft of your formal literary essay.
Essay Topics – Please chose one of the following. You must indicate on your final draft what topic you have selected.
Choice #1: Through the use of flashbacks and foreshadowing, the author attempts to give the reader accurate details about Wilson’s life in Canada and other people’s perceptions about him. Is this technique effective or does it just confuse the reader? How else might she give the information?
Choice #2: Each of the main characters in the novel has certain dreams, plans and expectations. Throughout the course of the novel, these main characters come to terms with the differences between their dreams and the reality of the world around them. Examine how one of these main characters navigates the journey from dreams to reality – what kind of a course does he/she follow, and how does he/she change from their journey?
Choice #3: Throughout the course of the novel, Wilson behaves oddly. The reader is often left wondering whether Wilson is totally insane or deceptively brilliant. What clues provide evidence that Wilson is sane or insane? Does Wilson ever take advantage of his position or use other people to further his means?

o John’s behaviour at best is erratic and peculiar. This is evident when Henry Funk indicates, “He’d been sick everywhere. And he was acting kind of queer…and kept going back and forth, getting dirt from under the culvert and throwing it on the car” (Simmie, 163).

Objectives: Begin to observe the intricate details of face-to-face interaction, sharpen your ability to observe non-verbal interaction, practice transforming jottings into fieldnotes.Instructions:· Find a public place such as a café or a busy area on campus where people are coming and going and watch how people greet each other.· Choose a space where you can observe unobtrusively.· Write notes about everything you notice about how people greet.· Do not try to analyze at first, just record everything you observe.· Jot down as many notes as you can as the encounters are happening, even if your notes are in shorthand form. These notes are sometimes known as jottings.· As soon as you have detailed jottings about ONE greeting that you find interesting, immediately write up your notes about that greeting in narrative form. These narrative paragraphs are known as fieldnotes.Try to paint a picture of this ONE greeting for the reader: describe the setting, the actors, their body language, facial expressions, the way they use space, the emotion/mood prior to the greeting if you saw it. Then give as much detail as you can about the greeting interaction itself. What was the form and shape of the greeting: at what exact moment did the greeting start? How was it signaled? (consider: eye contact, gesture, body language, facial expression etc.)How did the greeting relate to the nature of the interaction that followed? Did it help set the stage for a particular type of interaction? What can you surmise about the relationship between the people you saw greet each other?The paper is not about interaction in general, it is about greeting. Do not describe any interaction that does not contain a greeting. The paper is also not about gender or cultural differences in greeting behavior, though you may notice those things.You dont need to write jottings. Just write the paper.
