Essay 4: Literary Analysis Prompt: Compare and contrast the settings in “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner and Trifles by Susan Glaspell. How might these settings contribute to the loneliness and isolation of the main characters? What significant ways are the settings alike and in what significant ways are they different?

Essay 4 is a text-based essay; use “A Rose for Emily” from the Norton Field Guide to Writing with Readingsand Trifles from our class modules as evidence. Do not consult outside sources. Do not use Internet sources. I have read these sources, and I want to know your thoughts. Be wary of finding ideas on the Internet as well. These ideas usually show up in the writing and on Turnitin as plagiarism.

Read the following form The Norton Field Guide to Writing: “Comparing and Contrasting” (380-387); “Literary Analyses” (206-215), and “Synthesizing Ideas” (473-475).

  • Stay within 25 words of the assignment word count. Write 700 to 850 words.
  • Create an introduction that provides background on authors, that provides a short summary of their works, and that grabs a reader’s attention. A short summary might be one or two sentences. More evidence from their works will be posted in the body of the essay as evidence for your points.
  • Create an assertive thesis that responds to this specific assignment. This thesis should be one or two sentences. (Try placing your thesis at the end of the introduction for clear organization.)
  • Create assertive topic sentences that reflect the content and organization established in the thesis.
  • Boldface the thesis and topic sentences.
  • Develop each body paragraph with examples and quotations from “A Rose from Emily” and Trifles.
  • Write your essay in the present tense. (Write in the present tense when writing about a text.)
  • Include an author’s full name on first mention. In the body of the essay, use the
    author’s last name without a title. In the conclusion, include the author’s full name as a reminder to the reader.
  • MLA-style documentation is required. Examples and quotations must be cited according to MLA standards. Include at least one quotation in each body paragraph. Missing or incorrect MLA documentation may result in a failing grade for the essay.
  • Create a conclusion that refers back to the thesis. The conclusion should sum up the meaning of the essay and be memorable to the reader. Don’t use the phrase “in conclusion.” Encourage the reader to keep reading until the last word.
  • Do not use the pronouns “I,” “you,” or “we” to present ideas. Instead, state your points directly. “You” is too informal and can offend the reader if he or she disagrees with your point. “We” is unclear; who is the “we”? The pronoun “I” serves as an unnecessary filter between your idea and the reader.
  • Proofread your writing. Read your essay from the last sentence to the first sentence, looking for errors. Do not rely on your computer’s spelling and grammar checker. Essays with numerous errors may earn a failing grade.
  • Present your paper using MLA style format. Essays with missing or incorrect MLA paper format may earn 15 fewer points.

MLA Documentation and MLA Paper Format

  • MLA Works Cited page entry “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner: Since our textbook is an anthology, the Works Cited entry will be #19. Work(s) in an anthology, page 525, in The Norton Field Guide
  • MLA Works Cited page for Trifles by Susan Glaspell will be #31: Work on a Web Site, page 531 in The Norton Field Guide.
  • MLA paper format: MLA paper format is required for essay assignments. See Formatting a Paper, pages 539-548, in The Norton Field Guide. (The example paper is a research paper, but the basic format is the same for class submissions.)
  • MLA in-text citations: See MLA Style, In-text Citations, page 498, The Norton Field Guide.

Need a Help in Security Architecture and Design Course Article/Paper review

/in /by

Need a Help in Security Architecture and Design Course Article/Paper review,

you will select a current (within the last 2 years) article or research paper to review. The article your select MUST be different from the one you reviewed for the STRIDE model Research Paper. You may select any article or research paper that is related to Threat Modeling, and specifically references STRIDE. The attached rubric will provide more information on the content requirements, but here is a short list of what I want:

1) Your review should be 1/2 to 1 page, single spaced.

2) Please upload a Microsoft Word document to submit your review.

3) You should summarize the content of the article or paper and explain how it relates to STRIDE and Threat Modeling.

4) Provide your own assessment of the article. (Did it make sense? Did you learn anything from it? Do you agree or disagree with the content?)

5) Use the APA style for the paper and any references.

NOTES:

– Select ONE paper or article. That ONE paper or article should be the ONLY item referenced. Do NOT turn in a paper with multiple references. This isn’t a reference paper contest. I want you to simply select ONE research paper or article THAT SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES STRIDE. Then I want to see two things: read #3 AND #4 above.

– PLEASE pay attention to #5. You reference MUST be in APA format AND you MUST provide a reference indicator in your submission when you reference the paper or article. You will lose points ,if I cannot decipher your reference.

– ALSO, pay attention to #1. I will not read past 1 page for this assignment. (If you want to include a nice cover page, that’s fine and I’ll consider the first page of the body as page 1, but a cover page is not required.)

Read and respond to the critic – 250-500 words

/in /by

In this paper, your assignment is to respond to the critic:

Do you agree or disagree with the critic? Consider the specific criticisms that he raises. Do you think they are valid? What do you see in the story that the critic doesn’t see? What might make the story more effective? Must a story have a “plot?” Must it “move you?” Must a story be longer to be effective?

It’s fine to agree with the critic or to disagree, but be sure to start your paper with a clear, debatable thesis, and then support that thesis with specific examples from the story. This is a short paper, so limit your topic

Libertarian Case Study

/in /by

This article includes information that could allude to many different ethical dilemmas. Decide upon ONE ethical dilemma of your choice–articulate the dilemma in the form of a question beginning with “Should….” (Remember that an ethical dilemma exists when there is a conflict between interests or values. There should not be a clear-cut answer that can been found by doing research.) Then take on the perspective of a libertarian and determine the ethical manner of proceeding in the dilemma you articulated. You do not need to write the case resolution out in narrative form. You can use bullet points where appropriate–this is not an essay. You will be graded on basic writing mechanics, clarity and organization of your resolution, accuracy in explaining the method and accuracy in applying the method. (You do not represent your own opinion in this assignment, but only that of a libertarian.)
