Can We All Afford To Eat Healthy?
$32.00Topic: Why is junk food less expensive and how to lower healthier food costs
The Final Project in this course will be a written, cohesive argument for a specific change in your community or workplace. The Final Project should take the form of a “persuasive essay,” in which you will provide reliable evidence from at least five sources to support the argument for change that you are advocating. You will also need to reconcile the counter-argument or the audience’s misconception about the topic within the Final Project, as the ability to do so is a key component of a strong argument. Essentially, the Final Project will reflect what you have learned about writing effectively, using research, and creating a logical argument to influence an audience. You may also include relevant visuals to further illustrate key points of your argument; the visuals will need to be appropriate and cited in APA citation format if borrowed from a source.
As long as your topic meets the project requirements listed below, there are no specific restrictions on the topic of your argument for change, unless noted otherwise by your instructor. The topic that you chose early in this course and received feedback from your instructor for further guidance will be the same topic for your Final Project so that your work throughout the course will contribute to your constructing of an argument for change in the Final Project.
Your Final Project will need to meet the following criteria:
- APA manuscript format for the document, including an appropriately formatted title page and References page
- A thesis statement at the end of the introduction paragraph
- Well-developed paragraphs that include evidence from sources to support your argument for a specific change in your community or workplace
- Five reliable sources should be cited within the text of the project; at least two of the cited sources should be either books/ebooks or periodical articles
- All cited sources need to have full-citations on a References page (except for any interviews you conduct, which only require in-text citations)
- Standard American English and a formal tone throughout the writing
- Visuals are optional, but should be relevant, labeled (including citing the source), and referenced to in the text of the essay (e.g., “As seen in Figure 1….”); do not use clip-art or other visuals that do not clearly illustrate part of your argument
- After your References page, you will also include a 200-word paragraph reflecting on what you learned about effective writing through this course and Final Project, along with how you can use this information in future personal and professional situations
Achieving the above criteria should be your main goal with your Final Project. A strong and well-supported argument will be at least five-pages (1,200 words long), not including the title page, references page, or reflection paragraph.
Imagery in poetry “an album of world literature” from “the Bedford Introduction to Literature”
$30.00Literature & Composition, Essay 2 Topics
Purpose:
To write an essay that analyzes the use of imagery in poems by one of the poets from the chapter “An Album of World Literature” from The Bedford Introduction to Literature (pgs. 1325-1338).
To do outside research to find 2 more poems that complement the poem by your chosen poet from “An Album of World Literature.”
Essay needs to consider the poem in the anthology + 2 other poems written by that same poet that you discover in your research (depending on length, it might be enough to write about 1 other poem in addition to the poem in our book… I leave this decision up to you; essay should be 6-8 pages.)
Your argument must be supported with significant textual evidence from the poem; in other words, your close reading notes and explications need to be used for support.
In the process of writing and researching this essay, you will have the opportunity to read a diverse collection of poets. You have twelve poets (& twelve countries) to choose from: Anna Akhmatova, Claribel Alegría, Yehuda Amichai, Fazil Hüsnü Daglarca, Kishwar Naheed, Marne L. Kilates, Taslima Nasrin, Pablo Neruda, Octavio Paz, Yousif al-Sa’igh, Shu Ting, Tomas Tranströmer.
Topics:
The essay should present a focused argument about the use of imagery (you should be analyzing the use of concrete images—things that you can see, hear, taste, smell, touch—examples: rocks, doors, the sun, red flowers, a goose, a python, a bed, water…[not liberty, love, justice—these are abstract images ] see pg. 841 for review). To begin, you will need to explore the poems available online. Read the poems multiple times, take notes on the images in the poems: why and how are they significant? How does the poet use them; do images recur? This is a broad topic, and it is important that you eventually focus your argument on something that you have discovered in your exploration of the poems: the essay needs to go beyond merely pointing out that certain images appear in the poems to consider how the images are used and to what effect. The poems should also complement each other in supporting your argument—don’t pick poems that you have difficulty pulling together in a focused argument about imagery.
You might find that it is insightful to know some of the biographical details about the poet’s life, and this might inform your argument about the imagery. However: at least 3/4 of the essay should consist of explication “close readings” of the poems and discussion of the imagery. You are not writing an encyclopedia entry of facts about the poet’s life. You are analyzing an aspect of the imagery.
Your argument needs to be focused: for instance, to argue that a poet has experienced war and writes about war is not enough of an argument. You could, however, focus on that writer’s use of a certain set of images (maybe they are used metaphorically), and discuss what that reveals about his or her experience. Perhaps the writer explores certain scenes and settings, or an emotional state, and these things are made vivid and meaningful with the writer’s use of specific images.
Research will involve: finding poems to discuss in addition to the poem in our anthology; reading biographical material and interviews if you can find them. You may need to read a number of poems before you find the right ones to help support your argument. If you do not find enough information to satisfy what you think you need for a strong argument, you may need to focus on a different poet—this is all part of the research process for this essay…

Using Outside Research Sources:
When you are using outside sources, be sure to evaluate their worthiness; use the most reliable sources for a strong essay..
For websites and print sources, consider:
1). Authorship: is there an author? Check the homepage of websites to find out more info. If there is no author, make sure the source is a reputable, academic source. Wikipedia is not a reliable academic source and should not be cited (people can make changes on this site before they are checked for accuracy).
2). Sponsorship: if a website, who, if anyone, sponsors it? Check the domain name: commercial .com, educational .edu, nonprofit .org, network .net. If a book, who published it?
For this assignment, educational and organizational (edu and org) websites will be most appropriate. An online search might send you to an actual book under Google books.
3). Purpose and audience. If a website, why was it created? If the website was made to pass essays on to college students, stay away from it! Make sure the purpose is legitimate, and not biased. Avoid sparknotes, schmoop.com, enotes.com, essays for sale.com, 123 helpme, termpapers.com, etc.

What women’s lives are like in the play “A Doll House” by Henrik Ibsen
$5.00“A Nineteenth Century Husband’s Letter to His Wife,” 1783-1785, and “A Marxist Approach to A Doll House 1785-1787.
Answer one of the following. Use specific examples and explication from the play for support (see rubric below).:
1). Ibsen’s a Doll House stunned Norwegian audiences when it was first produced—it was as if they were exposed to the dynamics in their own houses, as if the “4th wall” had been lifted in their own living rooms. Reading it now, do the issues still seem relevant? Choose one aspect of the characters’ lives or relationships to discuss.
2). Nora lies several times in the play. What kind of lies are they? Do her lies indicate that she is not to be trusted, or are they a sign of something else about her personality?
3). Why does Nora reject Helmer’s efforts to smooth things over between them and start again. Do you have any sympathy for Helmer?
4). Describe Krogstad’s character. Does his shift in the play—from villainy to generosity seem adequately motivated?
5). What are women’s lives like in the play? Discuss two characters.
4 points, 200-250 words. Supply page #s in parenthesis after quotes.
