As per WSU’s UCORE requirements, writing assignments must include an 8-10 page research assignment. You
will write one book report/term paper on Salman Rushdie’s “Jaguar Smile.”
1. The first is a brief summary (no more than two pages) of the central political themes of the book.
In here you must explain what the book is about, what major political events does it cover…I AM NOT LOOKING
FOR A REVIEW of the book as I’ve read it before. Remember who your audience is (a political science
professor), focus on political behavior.
2. The second, and most important section of the report, is a discussion of the principal patterns of
political behavior, their consequences to Global Politics and your political analysis of the central
political events described in the book. So in this section I am looking for three things:
a) What patterns of political behavior do you see in the story? Who are the major players? What do
they do and why do they do what they do?
b) Discuss the consequences of said behavior. How did the actions of a hegemony affect people at all
three levels of analysis?
c) Give me your educated, sophisticated opinion as a political scientist of why events happened as
they did in the story. Do you think the political events described had any effects on Global Politics? Use
one of the major political theories as your foundation for this discussion.
Below are hints on how to get a good grade in this project:
• Speak like a political scientist in this paper.
• Show me that you understand your assigned task.
• Proofread your report. Serious errors in grammar and diction (the type that would make it difficult
to understand your ideas) will cost you points.
• Remember that I lived through these events; be certain that you are historically accurate – research
the history of the Contra War from serious sources.
• Use terms and concepts from our class lectures and reading.
o For example, instead of saying, “I think the people of the United States are proud of their
country,” you should say, “As observed from the overwhelming response to the perceived threat of the 9/11
attacks, one can make the argument that Americans are very nationalistic.”
Book reports will not be accepted past their due date (see above). Early submissions will be gladly
welcomed.
