Hello! I tried writing thesis and topic sentences for AOS and the Modules using random questions. Can I please have some feedback?
AOS: Discovery is the ability to be curious about simple things and to see with new eyes. To what extent is this view of discovery represented in prescribed texts? (Rosemary Dobson and Isaac Lidsky's What Reality Are You Creating for Yourself)
Thesis: The most transformative and far-reaching discoveries involve an individual's ability to be curious, questioning and accepting self-discoveries which allow for transformative impacts, and thus allowing them to see with new eyes. Yet, they can also be evoked our of sheer necessity, but this ultimately rests upon the individual to embrace the discovery.
T1 (Young Girl + Related): Reluctance and apprehension can stump curiosity, preventing individuals from engaging in transformative experiences which allows them to see with new eyes.
T2 (Painter of Antwerp + Related): Creative and intellectual discoveries evoked by curiosity become more meaningful if individuals can draw upon the experiences and discoveries of others to renew their personal perspectives on the purpose of life.
A: What insights have you gained from comparative study of texts despite differences in form and features? Explore this question by referring to KRIII and LFR.
Thesis: An examination of the intertextual connections between texts illuminates an understanding of the composers values and context, the latter eliciting the importance of suitable use of form features in conveying these values to a specific audience.
T1 (Integrity): Changes in context illuminate varying perspectives concerning the value of integrity, however through an exploration of the form and feature within texts, it is clear that integrity is necessary in maintaining a sense of humanity.
T2 (Humility): A comparative study allows for new insights of the perception of humility across time, this epitomised through form and feature technique.
B: How has analysis of the prescribed text developed your appreciation of it's reception and value? (Speeches: Keating, Sadat)
Thesis: An understanding of the power of a speech from the viewpoint of rhetoric and audience reception deepens my appreciation of the orator's resonating message, as a multitude of modern events exemplify the urgency of the values of the speaker.
T1 (Unity): Analysis of speeches reveal their reliance on the evoking of empathy, altering the mindsets of the audience and imparting a desire for a harmonious future build upon a vision of social unity.
T2 (Reconciliation): When reception of the audience of amicable, the orator is able to hone into the value and purpose of their speech, projecting the importance of reconciliation in mitigating past injustice.
C (People and Landscapes): Evaluate how a composer's acts of representation shape meaning and influence responses.
Thesis: A composers representation of the experiences of people within landscape heighten the notion that it is the attitude and response of the individual to the landscape which shapes identity, the landscape acting as a catalyst. Thus, audiences are positioned to adopt open-minded attitudes when it comes to engaging in the landscape.
T1: The representation of the conflict between urban and natural realms acts as the embodiment of the inner struggle within an individual to decide the landscapes they desire.
T2: The unequivocal power of nature, brought into fruition through composer representation, to reform the landscapes around us catalyses an understanding of themselves, but this ultimately rests upon the willingness of the individual to embrace these understandings.
I know this is a lot, but can someone please tell me if I'm on the right track or if there are any glaring flaws about my approaches. TIA
