Research Assignment
In “The Three R’s of Narrative Nonfiction,” Lee Gutkind states that the three R’s include, “First comes research, then real world exploration and finally and perhaps most important, a fact-checking review of all that has been written.” For this discussion, you will be asked to research your topic. By this, I mean simply to look at the subject matter you are focused on and delve into the research that will add depth. For example, if you are discussing an experience during the mid-90s, instead of stating the exact year, you could state something like, “the radio was blaring Britney Spears’ ‘Oops! I Did It Again’ every third song on the radio.” The reader would be able to relate the song to the period, which would allow them to get essential information while also feeling connected to the narrative.
Determine your subject matter for the creative nonfiction draft.
Make a list of some key images or events that you plan to focus on.
Based on the suggestions from Gutkind’s article, go online and research the major events of the period, interview people involved, or perhaps bystanders, to develop some greater insight into crafting a full picture for the reader.
Find at least three pieces of research and then write a paragraph that utilizes all these images into a complete scene.

Analyzing Creative Nonfiction for Its Elements
This assignment asks you to provide an analysis of the elements of creative nonfiction on display in David Foster Wallace’s “Consider the Lobster.” Please write 2 pages (minimum 750 words) analyzing the following characteristics of this piece.
All course materials provided – please check LibGuide
How does Wallace develop the setting in this piece? What does it feel like? How does he achieve that feeling and why might he be striving to make the reader feel that way?
How does Wallace use research to support his narrative? There are two different elements of research on display in this piece: 1) the details of Wallace’s experience at the festival itself and 2) the research he has done before and after the actual event to help inform himself and the reader. How are both elements working on the reader of this piece? How is he employing them and how are they affecting the reader?
In what ways might Wallace’s piece inform how you approach (or how you WILL NOT approach) your own creative nonfiction pieces? Why? Be specific.

32. The Twelve Tables, 449 B. C. 107
election but by means of a perpetual decemvirate to hold the power they had once for all acquired. . . The Ides of May came. Without causing any magistrates to be elected, the decemvirs, now private citizens, appeared in public with no abate-ment either of the spirit with which they exercised their power or the insignia which proclaimed their office. But this was unmistakable tyr-anny. Men mourned for liberty as forever lost. . . .
[The decemvirate was brought to an end shortly afterward by a ple-beian revolt (the so-called Second Secession), touched off, according to tradition, by Appius Claudius’ ruthless attempt to secure possession of a beautiful young maiden, Virginia, and the slaying of the girl by her own father as the only way to keep her out of Appius’ clutches.”]
32. THE TWELVE TABLES, 449 B.C.
The recording of the Twelve Tables (or the Law of the Twelve Tables) was a momentous step in the “struggle of the orders.” The story of the decemviral commission appointed to formulate the laws, of its administra-tion, and of its attempt to perpetuate its power illegally, is told in § 31. Plebeian agitation for a written compilation of the law was motivated by a desire not only to curb the arbitrary power of the patrician magistrates, but also to achieve aequatio iuris (equality before the law) for both classes. While some reforms were introduced by the decemvirs, the Law of the Twelve Tables is essentially a codification into statutory law of existing customs, and as such it reflects clearly the preponderantly agricultural and pastoral character of the Roman community of small landowners in the first century of the Republic. It is, in fact, our primary source for the social and economic conditions of the fifth century B.C. Recent efforts to date the code c. 30o B.C. or even as late as c 200 B.C. are now generally rejected. The code is genuinely Roman in content, and the tradition that a three-man commission was sent to Athens in 454 B.c. to study the legislation of Solon is fanciful, although there is evidence of influences emanating from the law codes of the Greek cities of southern Italy. It is mainly a code of private law, with some provisions of sacred and public law (Livy’s state-ment that it was “the fountainhead of all public and private law” [m.
