The Socialist and the Capitalist: The Themes of Dos Passos and Fiztgerald

This literary analysis applies a compare and contrast approach to "Mary French" (from John Dos Passos' Big Money of the U.S.A. Trilogy) and F. Scott Fitzgerald's "May Day" (Tales of the Jazz Age). The student finds Fitzgerald's a more entertaining tale than Dos Passos' po-faced socialist fable.

Bridget's feedback:

"This is off to a good start, and your next task will likely be stitching the two separate discussions together from start to finish to allow the reader to immediately, and then consistently, understand the project. While the compare and contrast begins to become clear at "On the contrary, Fitzgerald..." and then with the final two paragraphs, a clear introduction will allow the reader to interpret those moments as relevant signposting. Further synthesis of the final two paragraphs, perhaps via reorganization or reframing the last discussion, will also help nail down the approach; I appreciated your final personal opinion -- consider opening the last two paragraphs with that clear intervention.

You'll also be dealing with a smattering of lower-order concerns, including missing words and other similar typos; watch out for minor errors that impact clarity, as well ("attitudes toward the rich"). Finally, and as part of the project of clarifying your discussion for the reader, provide the authors' full names and the title of Fitzgerald's story."
