While Daisy Miller can be read as travel story, a comedy of manners, or a failed love story, it is ultimately the story of a young man who lives in his head: we understand who Frederick is by analyzing his thinking.
Create a 3-part essay analyzing Winterbourne’s thinking. Each part uses the “Quote Sandwich” (Adios 184-92) strategy—with an effective set-up and follow-up—to analyze and support views of the protagonist as a thinker.
Who is Frederick Winterbourne Analysis Sandwich: Revise your first “Quote Sandwich” that analyzes the word choice, structure, and content of a quotation of Winterbourne’s thoughts to draw deep inferences about who he is.
Critical Thinker Support Sandwich: Create a second “Quote Sandwich” section support the claim that Winterbourne possesses or lacks one of the critical thinking traits. Critical Thinking/Intellectual Traits.
Fallacy Support Sandwich: Create a third “Quote Sandwich,” claiming and supporting that Winterbourne commits one of the Fallacies.
Structure: Follow the structure outlined in the “Quote Sandwich” chapter and outlined on the following handout: Organization for Section I & II & III.
Transitions: Rather than connecting the three sections with more traditional transitions, use “Captions,” (Adios 199-205) a kind of subtitle, for each section. Place the caption subtitle on the left side. The Caption, just helps to give an engaging preview of what will be in that section.
Final Editing: Revise for style, connecting details and inferences with strong verbs and using semi-colons, dashes and colons accordingly. Include a “Works Cited” list. I have prepared the “Works Cited” list for you to copy and paste: Daisy Miller Works Cited-2.docx
