  • Expansive rhetorical analysis of “For the Win”

    $15.00

    The Hope of the Future

    The course text is “For the Win” by Cory Doctorow.

    Purpose
    To produce a thesis-driven analysis, complemented by secondary sources, of the rhetorical work undertaken by a particular text. (Whereas in the CRRP you focused on genre as a rhetorical strategy, in the RA you should consider other characteristics of the text and the rhetorical work that they do to achieve a specific purpose for a specific audience.)

    Assignment
    Building on what you learned through the Critical Reading Response Paper, you will now write a more expansive rhetorical analysis of our primary course text, For the Win. Your essay may still consider genre, but it should expand that discussion significantly beyond the CRRP. Your analysis should also address other rhetorical strategies the author employs and their relationship to the text’s rhetorical situation (context, purpose, audience, etc.).

    Including secondary sources in your RA paper will strengthen your argument and deepen your analysis in the context of academic discourse. Be mindful of how you can weave relevant and credible sources smoothly into your argument so that it exists as part of an ongoing dialogue among multiple parties involving the text being analyzed.

    (Pro Tip: Look back at your course texts, your annotations, records of class discussions, your Taking Notice chart, and the Reading Tweets you and your classmates have contributed to help you get started.)

    Requirements
    A successful essay of this sort will likely require 4-7 pages of recorded brain work.

  • Discussion Against Fracking

    $5.00

    Discussion: Fracking

    A controversial issue in the news around the US and the world is the technique of hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas, or “fracking”. Fracking involves injecting water, sand, and chemicals deep under ground at high pressures to explode, or fracture, shale layers, thereby releasing and forcing natural gas/oil deposits up the drilled well back to the surface.

    Proponents claim that fracking has been done safely in some form for about 60 years, supplies us with much needed energy, reduces our dependence on foreign energy sources, provides much needed jobs and economic benefits to local and regional economies, and has not been proven unsafe by any government agency.

    Opponents claim that fracking fluid contains toxics such as benzene and arsenic which can be released during fracking and related activities, polluting the air, water, and soil, negatively impacting the health of those close to well sites, and lowering property values. Fracking also releases large amounts of climate changing methane, far more potent than CO2. They further claim that the oil and gas industry uses its wealth and political connections to stifle debate, research, protective legislation, and our green energy future.

    What do you think? Please research fracking, arrive at an informed, researched opinion, and make substantive posts in the discussion area, citing your sources.

  • ENG 125 Week 5 Final Paper

    $32.50

    ENG 125 Week 5 Final Paper

    The welcome table and Country Lovers

    In this course we have explored the many meanings which literature may have for us as well as literary themes, elements, and techniques common to the forms of the short story, poetry, and drama. In class discussions and written assignments, you have also had opportunities to reflect on your individual feelings, responses, and ideas about a number of literary works.

    The Final Paper is intended as an exercise in bringing together, or synthesizing, your reflections on literature and your understandings of the course material. This is a comparative paper which analyzes two to three literary works from the course readings which share a common theme. The paper should be organized by a thesis (argument), which is the main point of the entire essay. When developing a thesis for a comparative paper, consider how a comparison of the works provides deeper insight into the topic of your paper. In other words, think about why you have chosen to look at these particular works in relation to one another.

    In your analysis, also consider the relationships among content, form, and style. For example, how are the ways in which themes and ideas are represented and communicated relevant to your reading experience and to the work as a whole? You may choose from any of the topics and works listed at the end of this assignment description. (Please note that many of the listed themes relate to more than three works – please limit yourself to only two to three of the texts. Doing so will allow you to give ample attention to each literary work you are analyzing.) Though the possible topics for the assignment are given below, what you say about the significance of the theme is up to you.

    The Final Paper must be eight to ten pages long and include an original title, an introduction with a thesis statement, supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion. Remember that the thesis statement should answer the question “so what?” (What is important about the argument you are making? What meaning or value might it have to your reader and/or to society?) Also, be sure that your argument is supported by textual details and analysis. You may find it useful as you begin your analysis to review the literary concepts and analytical approaches covered in class.

    You may choose from the following topics: The representation of race/ethnicity (Gordimer’s “Country Lovers,” Walker’s “The Welcome Table,” Smith’s “What It’s Like to Be a Black Girl,” Morales’s “Child of the Americas”) The representation of gender roles and/or marriage (Thurber’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” Bernard’s I’m Going, Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” de Mauppassant’s “The Necklace,” Chechov’s The Proposal, Gordimer’s “The Country Lovers”) Creativity and the creative process (Neruda’s Poetry, Ferlinghetti’s “Constantly Risking Absurdity,” Collins’ “You, Reader”) The representation of death and impermanence (Updike’s “Dog’s Death,” Rhys’s “I Used to Live Here Once,” Dubus’s “A Father’s Story,” Thomas’s “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night,” Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” Tennyson’s “In Memoriam,” Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death”) The representation of nature (Oliver’s “Wild Geese,” Arnold’s “Dover Beach,” Tennyson’s “The Oak,” Frost’s “The Path Not Taken”) The symbolism of the journey (Frost’s “The Path Not Taken,” Welty’s “A Worn Path,” Rhys’s “I Used to Live Here Once”) In addition to the course text, you must use at least five scholarly resources to support your thesis.
