English 1121 Paper #2 / 19% of the course grade

Paper #2: Analyze ChatGPT’s AI-Generated Paper
about Mona Susan Power’s A Council of Dolls

The assignment: For this paper, you will analyze the accuracy and quality of a ChatGPT-generated

essay about Mona Susan Power’s novel A Council of Dolls and use Power’s book to illustrate how the

ChatGPT essay could be improved. (Prof. Riehl has provided the

ChatGPT essay you will analyze at the end of this assignment sheet.)

You will write a focused, organized, analytical, developed, carefully

worded/edited paper that uses MLA format, has a Works Cited page,

and includes proper in-text citations. Questions to guide your analysis:

• How well does Chat GPT analyze the theme of displacement in

Mona Susan Power’s novel A Council of Dolls? How accurate

and effective is the paper generated by Chat GPT, and how

could it be improved? Use evidence from both the Chat GPT essay and Power’s novel to support

your thesis and claims. What specifics, examples, details, and quotations from Power’s book would

improve the ChatGPT essay?

What type of paper is this? This assignment asks you to write a version of a literary/textual analysis. An
analysis carefully studies and examines a text. It is a type of argumentative essay where you persuade a
reader of your assertion about the text.

How does this assignment help me become a critical thinker and better writer? Good writing
requires critical thinking and convincing writing. This assignment requires you to read carefully and to use
your critical thinking skills to analyze the essay written by ChatGPT about Power’s novel. Your careful
reading of Power’s A Council of Dolls is essential to analyzing whether or not the ChatGPT is accurate and
of high quality.

You must convey your analysis in a clear, focused, and organized paper. It requires that you use the
sources—both the ChatGPT-generated essay and Power’s novel A Council of Dolls—as evidence and to cite
that evidence appropriately according to MLA format. This assignment introduces you to MLA (Modern
Language Association) citation.

How do I start this assignment?

1. Read: Begin by carefully reading both the Chat GPT essay and Mona Susan Power’s novel A
Council of Dolls.

2. Examine the ChatGPT essay. Think about Power’s novel. Take notes. Here are a few examples of
questions to consider as you brainstorm:

a. Which aspects of the assignment does ChatGPT do well? What parts of the ChatGPT
essay are accurate and of high quality?

b. Which aspects of the assignment does ChatGPT fail to do well? Are there inaccuracies in
the ChatGPT essay? If so, where?

2

i. Think about the ChatGPT essay’s intro, thesis, paragraph claims, evidence from the

novel (details, facts, quotations, etc.) organization, analysis, language, MLA citation,
etc.

c. How could this ChatGPT essay be better/improved? If you were writing the assignment,
which specifics from Power’s book could be used to provide more effective evidence for
the claims? Give examples. Etc. Think critically. Analyze.

3. Write a thesis: Your answer to these questions from above is your thesis statement: How well does
Chat GPT analyze the theme of displacement in Mona Susan Power’s A Council of Dolls? How accurate and
effective is the paper generated by Chat GPT? Your thesis must be 1-3 sentences, take a clear stand, be
subject to disagreement.

4. Start writing: Defend and prove your thesis statement in the body of the paper by writing several
paragraphs. Each paragraph contains three components:

a. a claim (one assertion about the accuracy/quality of the ChatGPT essay), an assertion that
proves your thesis. Each paragraph’s first sentence should make one strong claim.),

b. evidence from both the ChatGPT essay and Power’s book (Evidence is details/specifics,
examples, facts from both the ChatGPT essay and Power’s book, all followed with proper
in-text citations),

c. and in-depth analysis (your explanation/interpretation/analysis of the evidence).

What to do while writing:

1. Maintain focus. Each paragraph makes one claim about the ChatGPT essay that supports your
thesis. Everything in the paper proves the thesis statement.

2. Organize your paper effectively and use MLA to cite all evidence.
a. Each paragraph begins with a claim. Within the paragraph, support/prove the claim with a

balance of specifics from the ChatGPT essay, A Council of Dolls, and your analysis.
b. Each paragraph should use at least three details, specifics, or examples from the Chat GPT

essay and Power’s book as support. This means you would have a minimum of three in-text
citations per paragraph.

i. You must integrate material from the ChatGPT essay and Power’s book using
summary, paraphrase, and direct quotations, all followed with proper in-text
citations.

ii. Do not only use quoted material from the essay and A Council of Dolls You must
show that you can paraphrase and summarize as well. Paraphrases and summaries
are followed with an in-text citation too.

iii. Do not write about only one example per paragraph.

3. Think critically: Show your critical thinking. I want to read it! Each paragraph should be 50%
evidence and 50% your analysis of the evidence.

4. Maintain academic language and tone and edit carefully: Maintain third person. No “I think”
(first person) or “you” (second person).

The final draft of your paper must

✓ be a minimum of 3 complete pages, not including the Works Cited page. (4-6 pages is ideal.)
o Papers must be developed at least three full pages to earn a C.
o This is not a five-paragraph essay. Write as many claims/paragraphs as you need to prove

your thesis and illustrate depth. (I’m not a fan of a conclusion paragraph that just

3

summarizes what you wrote in a short paper like this. Instead, just transition into your final
claim and paragraph with a transition like this: The final way that the ChatGPT essay
ineffectively explores the theme of displacement is . . . . .”)

✓ have an interesting title & introductory paragraph that includes an attention-getter, book title
(italicized) and author’s full name, title of the Chat GPT essay (in quotation marks) and the thesis

✓ include a focused thesis statement that takes a clear and reasonable stand, shows depth, and is
subject to disagreement

✓ illustrate depth of critical thinking and thorough analysis

✓ remain focused and organized

✓ contain organized paragraphs, each including all three components: a claim, evidence, and analysis

✓ use appropriate textual evidence in the form of specific details/examples, facts, and quoted
material from the sources (shared via quotations, paraphrases, and summary in each paragraph)

✓ have coherent and academic language and style

✓ be stylistic and carefully edited, maintaining third-person point-of-view.

✓ use proper MLA format (Times 12-point font, one-inch margins, no extra space between

paragraphs, etc. See your WR Handbook) and use proper MLA citation:

o Works Cited: Include a Works Cited page that cites the Chat GPT generated paper and

Mona Susan Power’s A Council of Dolls. See the Works Cited handout in Paper #2 folder in

Content.

o In-Text Citations: Use information from both sources in your essay and follow all details,

facts, examples, (whether summarized, paraphrased, or directly quoted) with MLA in-text

citations.

▪ Any evidence from the ChatGPT article would be followed with in-text citations

like this (“Displacement”).

• In-text citations for longer titles are shortened, which is why only the first

word of the ChatGPT essay title is included in the in-text citation.

▪ Any evidence from Power’s book would be followed with an in-text citation noting

the author’s name and the page number like this (Power 122).

Note: See the Paper #2 Grading/Feedback Sheet available in Content in the Paper #2 folder for the
specific rubric I will use to respond to your final draft.

About Plagiarism—Don’t do it!

– Use only two sources: the Chat GPT generated paper Prof. Riehl has provided and Mona Susan
Power’s A Council of Dolls for this paper.

– Do not plagiarize. Do not run the ChatGPT essay again through ChatGPT to “fix” it. (That is not
what this assignment is asking you to do.)

– Do not rewrite what Chat GPT has generated. You’re writing a separate essay that analyzes the
accuracy and effectiveness of the Chat GPT essay and asserts how it could be improved.

– Paper drafts will be submitted to Turnitin.com, which will also generate an originality report.
o The only parts of your paper that should show up as a direct match are when you quote

from the ChatGPT-generated essay or Power’s novel A Council of Dolls.
o After any fact, detail, or example from the ChatGPT essay or the novel, include a proper

in-text citation.
o Put any excerpts of three or more words in a row in quotation marks and follow them with

a proper in-text citation to avoid plagiarism.

4

– Plagiarized papers or papers that use ChatGPT to alter/fix/write the paper will earn no credit, and
I will report students to the Dean.

The audience: The audience is me—Professor Riehl—and your classmates, who are reading your paper

to determine the accuracy and quality of the ChatGPT essay.

Due: Final Draft is due before 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22 in Assignments in “Paper #2 Final Draft

Only” in D2L.

This is the prompt Prof. Riehl gave Chat GPT:

“Write an essay evaluating the theme of displacement in Mona Susan Power’s A Council of Dolls. Include a
strong attention-getter, thesis, and paragraphs that each begin with a claim about displacement in the book.
Each body paragraph must use at least three pieces of evidence from the book, such as facts, examples,
details, and quotations. Use proper MLA in-text citations and a Works Cited page..”

Note: Prof. Riehl has changed some formatting elements, such as making the essay double-spaced.

ChatGPT’s essay:

Displacement in Mona Susan Power’s A Council of Dolls

In the intricate tapestry of human experience, few themes resonate as deeply as displacement—the

feeling of being uprooted, disoriented, and alienated from one’s origins or identity. Mona Susan Power’s

*A Council of Dolls* powerfully explores this theme through the stories of Native American women

whose lives are marked by both physical and emotional dislocation. As Power delves into the complex

lives of her characters, she crafts a poignant commentary on the enduring impact of displacement within

indigenous communities. This essay will evaluate how *A Council of Dolls* uses displacement to

illuminate the struggles of identity, cultural heritage, and personal resilience.

First, displacement in *A Council of Dolls* profoundly affects the characters’ sense of identity.

Power portrays this through her characters’ constant grappling with their cultural roots and personal

histories. For example, the protagonist, a Native American woman named in the book, is depicted as being

caught between two worlds: her traditional Native American heritage and the modern, often hostile

external society (Power 43). This internal conflict is underscored by her struggle to maintain her cultural

practices amidst societal pressures. Power writes, “She felt like a ghost in her own life, wandering through

5

the remnants of a culture that seemed both familiar and alien” (Power 56). This sense of being a “ghost”

highlights the protagonist’s disconnection from her heritage and her struggle to reconcile her identity with

the expectations of the surrounding world.

Furthermore, displacement in the novel is vividly illustrated through the characters’ experiences of

losing their cultural heritage. Power uses the motif of dolls as a symbol of this loss, with each doll

representing a piece of the characters’ past that is threatened by assimilation and cultural erasure. For

instance, one character reflects on a doll from her childhood that has become a “memento of a world that

no longer exists” (Power 78). This doll, once a source of comfort and connection to her past, now

embodies the painful reality of cultural loss and the struggle to preserve one’s heritage in the face of

overwhelming change. Power’s depiction of these dolls not only emphasizes the characters’ displacement

but also serves as a critique of the broader societal forces that contribute to the erosion of indigenous

cultures.

Lastly, Power illustrates how displacement affects the characters’ resilience and sense of agency.

Despite the profound challenges posed by their displacement, the characters in *A Council of Dolls*

demonstrate remarkable strength and adaptability. For example, one character’s determination to revive

traditional ceremonies and pass on cultural knowledge to the next generation underscores her resilience

(Power 120). She states, “I carry our traditions in my heart, and no amount of change will ever take that

away” (Power 123). This statement encapsulates the character’s refusal to let displacement define her;

instead, she channels her experiences into a renewed commitment to her cultural heritage. Power’s

portrayal of such characters reveals that while displacement can be disorienting, it also fosters a profound

strength and an unwavering commitment to one’s identity and values.

In conclusion, Mona Susan Power’s *A Council of Dolls* provides a nuanced exploration of

displacement through its rich depiction of identity struggles, cultural loss, and personal resilience. Through

her vivid characters and symbolic motifs, Power illustrates how displacement can disrupt but also

strengthen one’s connection to their heritage and sense of self. The novel ultimately serves as a powerful

6

reminder of the enduring impact of displacement on indigenous communities and the ways in which

individuals navigate and resist the forces that seek to undermine their cultural identities.

Transcript for Video about Paper #

—Chat GPT and Mona Susan Power

Hello, everyone. I wanted to make a video to kind of walk through the paper number two assignment sheet with you. Now, some of you, I’m sure, are reading the assignment sheet and not having many questions, but some of you might have some questions, and you might be the kind of learner that benefits from hearing about an assignment as well as just reading it yourself.

So I’m going into materials. And then content. And I’m going to folder number two, which is where paper number two,
A Council of Dolls, and all of the related content are here. Now, hopefully, you have been following your course syllabus carefully each week, so you are reading everything that is being assigned about this book.

So I’m going to go into the paper number two assignment sheet, and I’m just going to kind walk through it with you. So this is the second paper of the semester. It’s worth 19% of the course grade. As you know, it’s quite different from the first assignment. So, the assignment is for this paper, you will analyze the accuracy and quality of a Chat GPT generated essay about Mona Susan Power’s novel,
A Council of Dolls, and use Power’s book to illustrate how the Chat GPT essay could be improved. I have provided the Chat GPT essay, and you can see the whole thing at the end of this assignment. If you scroll down, you’ll see I copied and pasted that essay in here. And I show you, see where it’s highlighted.

This is the prompt Professor Riehl gave Chat GPT. I told it to write an essay evaluating the theme of displacement in Mona Susan Power’s
A Council of Dolls. I told it to include a strong attention getter, thesis, and paragraphs that each begin with a claim about displacement in the book. Each body paragraph must use at least three pieces of evidence from the book, such as facts, examples, details, and quotations, and it must use proper MLA in-text citations and a Works Cited page. What you see here under the green where it says Chat GPT essay is the essay that Chat GPT generated. The only thing that I’ve changed here is that I changed the formatting a little bit, so I made it double spaced, so that it follows MLA formatting. Otherwise, this is what Chat GPT wrote about.

Now, some of you might think, well, why displacement? I think it would be more interesting to write about the importance of women or the role of silence in the novel or generational trauma. You know, many papers could be about those things. This is just the prompt that I gave Chat GPT, so we are focusing on this essay and this theme of displacement. So you don’t have to write about any of those other things in the paper.

Let’s go back up. To the start of the paper assignment, and it says, you will write a focused, organized, analytical, developed, carefully worded and edited paper that uses MLA format, has a Works Cited page, and includes proper in-text citations, so that’s what you’re going to do. Questions to guide your analysis. This is what you can think about these first couple of questions. When you answer these questions, you have a thesis statement. How well does Chat GPT analyze the theme of displacement in Mona Susan Power’s novel,
A Council of Dolls? How accurate and effective is the paper generated by Chat GPT, and how could it be improved?

So, you might think,
Okay, well, the essay does a couple of things well, but it does a couple of things terribly. So what do I write? Your thesis statement can be one to three sentences long, and you’re going to state it clearly without using “I.” The Chat GPT essay titled, and let’s jump ahead because you’re going to tell us what the title is. I’m going to go back to that essay, and we see the title right here. “Displacement in Mona Susan Power’s
A Council of Dolls” does a good job of X, Y, and Z, but fails to analyze the novel effectively because . . . and then you say why. Right? I’m not going to tell you exactly what to write. This is where you are using your own analysis, and you’re going to be able to do this if you have read the book carefully. Okay, so you’re already going to be thinking about specifics from the book, and that will help you know if the Chat GPT essay is accurate and effective. You’re going to use evidence from both the Chat GPT essay and Power’s novel to support your thesis and claims. What type of paper is this? This is an assignment that asks you to write a version of a literary textual analysis; an analysis carefully studies and examines a text. It’s a type of argumentative essay where you persuade a reader of your assertion about the text. So how does this help you become a critical thinker and better writer? Well, good writing requires critical thinking and convincing writing. It requires that you read carefully to use your critical thinking skills to figure out, did that Chat GPT essay? Is it good? Is it high quality? Does it do an effective job and is it accurate? Right? Your careful reading of
A Council of Dolls is essential to figuring that out.

You must convey your analysis in a clear, focused, and organized paper. It requires—sorry, I’m trying to highlight this, but it’s not always working really well—it requires that you use sources, both the Chat GPT generated essay and the novel as evidence, and to cite that evidence appropriately according to MLA format. MLA format stands for Modern Language Association.

I walk you through the steps of how to approach this assignment. So first, obviously, carefully read the Chat GPT essay at the end of this assignment sheet, and you should be finished with
A Council of Dolls, which we’re finishing our discussion on this week. You’re going to examine what the Chat GPT essay. Think about Power’s novel, take notes. So here are some examples of questions to consider as you brainstorm. Which aspects of the assignment does Chat GPT do well? Which parts of the Chat GPT essay are accurate and of high quality? So maybe one of your paragraphs will start with “The Chat GPT essay does a great job of …,” and then you finish that sentence. Then you’re going to build a paragraph to prove that claim you have about the Chat GPT essay. So you’d use maybe some specifics from the Chat GPT essay, and follow them with an in-text citation. Maybe you’re going to point out that it used some specifics from the book really accurately. And so you might mention where those are in the book and follow that with an in-text citation.

Maybe you have a couple of paragraphs that each focus on different ways that the Chat GPT essay failed. Maybe you’re finding some inaccuracies. Maybe you’re like, What? I don’t see that in the book, right? If you see things that are “hallucinated”—That’s the term that’s used when Chat GPT and other AI makes things up because there’s not enough information online and elsewhere to, kind of, you know, scrape the information from—then you’re going to point that out. You would mention those specifics in the Chat GPT essay, follow them with an in-text citation. And you would point out also, what could it have pointed to in the book that would have made it a more effective essay.

Ultimately, you’re doing two things, really. You’re pointing out what works and what doesn’t work in the Chat GPT essay. And any time you’re saying what doesn’t work, you’re going to need to be pointing out what it
could have done. You’re showing what
you know better than Chat GPT does about Mona Susan Power’s book. Think about the Chat GPT’s essay’s intro, thesis paragraph, all of those things.

And then we talked a little bit about that thesis statement, right? Your thesis statement is one to three sentences. It takes a clear stand, and it’s subject to disagreement. That goes at the end of your opening paragraph for the paper. Your opening paragraph leads up to your thesis statement that comes at the end of paragraph one. Earlier in that paragraph, you can use some kind of an attention getter. You can let us know what book you’re writing about, so you’re going to use
A Council of Dolls, italicized, because that’s the title of the book. Include the author’s full name on the first reference. You’ll also include the title of the Chat GPT essay in quotation marks because that’s an essay. Then, you’re going to start writing. Defend and prove your thesis statement in the body of the paper by writing several paragraphs. Each paragraph has three components, and you can see these highlighted in red here. The first is a claim. So each paragraph in the body of the paper is going to start with you making one assertion about the accuracy and quality of the Chat GPT essay, an assertion that helps prove your thesis. Second, then, in that paragraph, you’re going to try to find evidence from the Chat GPT essay and Power’s book, the evidence is details, specific examples, and facts, all followed with a proper in text citation. So I expect you to be using specifics from both the essay and the book in each paragraph in your paper.

And then next, you’re going to be adding your in depth analysis. And that’s your explanation of, your interpretation of, and your analysis of what you see in the Chat GPT essay and how it could have maybe done it better by using the book. Okay. So what to do while writing? You’re going to maintain your focus. You’re going to organize your paper effectively and use MLA to cite all evidence. I’m not going to read all of this to you because you can move through it.

Think critically. Show your critical thinking. I want to read it. So I want to see about 50% evidence from the essay and Mona Susan Power’s book, and 50% your analysis of the evidence. Now, you’ve been doing this in discussion. So, think of it this way. When you’ve been answering questions about the book in discussion, you’ve already been doing what you’re doing for this assignment, just on a smaller scale. You have a smaller one question, where you’re responding to it, you’re using specifics from the book, you’re citing them, and you’re putting in your analysis. Same thing. This is just on a little bit bigger scale. Maintain academic language and tone and edit carefully. So this papers in third person. No, “I think that” which is first person or “you,” which is second person. So instead of, I think that the Chat GPT essay failed when it did, blah, blah, blah, you’re going to say, the Chat GPT essay failed when it did, et cetera. So just take the “I think” out. This is a minimum of three pages, not including the Works Cited page. Be careful about that. Make sure that you have some writing on page four. Four to six pages is ideal for this. This is not a five-paragraph essay, everybody. I know in high school you learned like introduction and three body paragraphs and a conclusion. This is college, and this is not a five-paragraph essay. So write as many paragraphs as you need to prove your thesis and illustrate depth. When students are just striving to meet the page minimum, those are usually papers that end up being a C or even possibly lower if the content isn’t good, right? So what I’m looking for is to really see your brain on the page, analyzing that essay and showing me that you read this book carefully, and you understand it.

2

Okay, I’m not actually a fan of conclusion paragraphs anyway in a short paper like this. You know, the ones that say, “In conclusion, et cetera, et cetera,” and then just repeat what you just said in the short paper. That’s like filler. So don’t do that. Just transition into your final claim and paragraph, with a transition like, the final way that the Chat GPT essay ineffectively explores the theme of displacement is. And a reader knows this is the last paragraph. As usual, just like your first paper, you’re going to have an interesting title, a good introductory paragraph. And I list out specifically what belongs in the introductory paragraph right here. You’re going to have that thesis statement that comes at the end of paragraph one. You’re going to show your depth of critical thinking. You’re going to

remain focused and organized. Don’t go off track and start talking about the author’s life or an interview that you read or whatever. You’re going to keep your focus on the Chat GPT essay and the book. Organize those paragraphs so that they all three have a claim, a lot of evidence and analysis. Use appropriate textual evidence in the form of details and examples, facts, and quoted materials from the sources. So I don’t want to see only quotations. So a couple of quotations are fine, but I also want to see you do some paraphrasing and summarizing in each paragraph.

So, for example, you know, if I was writing the paper, and at some point, I wanted to write about how the fact that the children aren’t even allowed to sit next to their friends when they’re on the train headed to the boarding schools, but I feel like that’s another way that they are displaced even from their friends, and Chat GPT didn’t write about that. I could just say that. And I would follow that specific example with an in-text citation of where that happens in the book. Okay, so I’m not going to quote it. I’m just going to write about it, but it is something specific from the book, so it needs an in-text citation after it. I have done the work cited page for you, and I’ll show you where that handout is. You can copy and paste it into your own draft. And I’ve also shown you exactly how to do the in-text citations. So about plagiarism and AI use.

Obviously, do not plagiarize with this paper. Do not take the AI generated paper and run it through Chat GPT again. You’ll get a zero, and I will report that to the dean. That’s not what you’re being asked to do anyway, so you wouldn’t even be achieving what the assignment is asking. So please don’t do that if you have any questions set up a meeting with me. I’m going to go back to Folder number two. You should watch this counseling video. I have transcripts of the videos that I’m posting. Mona Susan Power will be on campus October 30. So that is her poster. Please look at that. That is your extra credit opportunity, and it’s going to be the last one of the semester. The discussion questions that I’m posting each week are posted here. You can see the full questions. This will also help you see where things are happening through the novel because I’m using in-text citations anytime I’m using specifics, I’m showing you here that you’re going to do that. Using evidence from a source and an academic paper, make sure that you’ve looked at this. This walks you through how to quote, how to paraphrase, and how to summarize, and how you will follow those with proper in-text citations. Okay? Another thing that you’ll do is right here, the Works Cited page. I’ve done the Works Cited page for you. You can down click on the arrow, download this onto your own paper and copy and paste it into your draft. When you copy and paste it, just double check it to make sure it didn’t get rid of the formatting like the italics and such, depending on how you paste it, sometimes it does that. Then you can also see the grading sheet.

I hope this video is helpful. Let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to reading your papers.
