There is no upper limit to how many words you write, however you must write a minimum of 500 words total per homework.

I’m studying and need help with a Article Writing question to help me learn.

A. READ at least 100 pages of Chen Ran [Chen, Ran], A Private Life, translated by JohnHoward Gibbon. New York: Columbia University Press, 2004. Purchase in the bookstore. Answer the following questions: What kind of person is the main character? How do you know? What is her family like? Does she have any friends? Do you think she is based on the author? Now write a paragraph in the “voice” or style of Chen Ran’s Private Life. What about your paragraph makes it similar to Chen Ran’s—the language, the theme, the mood? Explain why you chose to write it this way. B. Read any one of the following and summarize it in your own words: 1. “Gender-Transcendent Consciousness and Private Life,” in Sang, Deborah Tze-lan, Emerging Lesbian: Female Same-Sex Desire in Modern China, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003: 200-224. 2. “A Queer Journey Home in Solos: Rethinking Kinship in Sinophone Singapore,” by E. K. Tan, in Queer Sinophone Cultures, Heinrich, Ari Larissa and Howard Chiang, eds. Routledge, 2014. 3. “Breaking Open,” by Chen Ran, translated by Paola Zamperini in Patricia Sieber, ed., Red is Not the Only Color: Contemporary Chinese Fiction on Love and Sex Between Woman, Collected Stories, New York: Rowman & Littlefield, 2001: 49-72. 4. Shanghai Lalas: Female Tongzhi Communities and Politics in Urban China, Lucetta Yip Lo Kam, Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, 2012. Introduction + any chapter.
