Complete 1 Sentence English Discussion

The purpose of this forum is to help you develop a strong thesis for your Final Research Paper (due in week 7). After CAREFULLY reviewing the PDF “Using Critical Strategies to Develop a Topic,” get started on refining your Final Research Paper topic.

1. In your main post, begin by writing the sentences below and filling in the blanks:

  • The text(s) that we have read IN THIS CLASS that I will use for my paper is/are: _______________ (you can include up to three)
  • I will use the __________critical reading strategy(ies) to help me analyze the text. (One or two strategies is ideal)
  • The claim I want to make about that work(s) is: _____________.

Remember that your claim is the thing you intend to prove with this paper. It needs to be argumentative—that means it is something that reasonable people could disagree with. So, stating that Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home” bears some similarities to his own life is not argumentative because it is simply true. No reasonable person could argue with you. HOWEVER, claiming that Hemingway’s purpose in writing “Soldier’s Home” was to help him work through his own war time experience IS argumentative. Someone else could very reasonably claim that he has a different purpose in mind, for example.

2. THEN, combine all of that information into a single sentence, which will also be posted in your main post. THIS will be the working thesis for your Research Paper. It may look something like this:

Using the psychological and biographical strategies to analyze “Soldier’s Home” by Ernest Hemingway demonstrates that his purpose in writing the text was to help himself and other soldiers learn to cope with the effects of their time spent at war.


SOME OF THE READINGS FROM CLASS:

Read William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” (page 82).

Read Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier’s Home” (page 165).

Read Critical Thinking and Writing (pages 1439-1475).

Review elements of fiction, reading the introductory sections on “Reading Fiction” (page 13), “Writing about Fiction” (page 47), “Plot” (page 67), “Character” (page 112), “Setting” (page 163), “Point of View” (page 195), “Symbolism” (page 219), “Theme” (page 242).

Read Andre Dubus’ “Killings” (page 93).

Read “Reading Drama Responsively” (page 1035); “Elements of Drama” (page 1052); and “Writing about Drama” (page 1080).

Read Susan Glaspell’s “Trifles” (page 1038) and “Perspective” from Glaspell’s “A Jury of Her Peers” (page 1050).

Read “Choosing a Topic” (page 1500) to help you develop your Research Paper Proposal. Also read “Developing a Thesis and Organizing the Paper” (page 1503).

develop a long term care plan based on scenario below 350-700 words

/in /by

Scenario 1: Long-Term Care Insurance Coverage

Betty Hall is a 62-year-old Army veteran in good health. She retired from the military five years ago after 30 years of service. Should Betty need care, she would likely qualify for Veterans Administration (VA) benefits to pay for the cost. However, it may take a year or longer before she receives approval for services. During that time, she would have to pay the cost of care out of her current income or by liquidating assets on an as-needed basis.

Develop an appropriate long-term care insurance plan for Betty based on needs, financial resources, policy coverage, and cost.

Write a 350- to 700-word analysis of the scenario, including the long-term care insurance plan you developed for Betty.

The Olympic games and Politics

/in /by

This is a short research paper, a minimum of 1 page and a maximum of 2 pages, single spaced, 12 point font. WORTH 100 POINTS

Write an analysis of the relationship between sports and politics focusing on the Olympic games. Pick one of the Olympic games, tell me

– The year the games were held
– Where they were held (Country, city)
– The prevailing ideology of that country at the time of the games. What was the “political message” being sent
– What resources were used to deliver the message (TV? particular athletes? etc)
– How was the message delivered, give examples here of how the political agenda was delivered.

* Use 3 sources for this research (you can use any source, books, articles, broadcasts, etc). Use google to search for information if you wish.
* At the end of your paper, list these sources and include links to them. When links are not available (such as books) appropriately cite the work using APA style (you can google this or ask the library). Here is an examples of how to cite a book
Author, Title of the book. publisher, year of publication

As an example, I will use the 1936 Olympics in Berlin to illustrate what I want for this assignment (YOU MAY NOT WRITE ABOUT THE ’36 OLYMPICS)

In 1936 Germany hosted the Summer Olympic games, at the time Hitler was ruling the county and he used the games to advance his political agenda of Aryan (or Nordic) Supremacy. Germany spent a lot of money (funded by the government) training their “Aryan” athletes in order to secure their victory. Victory on the athletic field, according to their vision, would illustrate this “supremacy” that was the basis of Hitler’s regime. Jewish athletes were not allowed to compete for Germany.

Jesse Owens, and African American, was the star of the USA Track team. At one point Hitler refused to shake Owen’s hand, implying that Owens was “beneath” Hitler as a human being. Moreover, the fact that Owens won his events , set new records and defeated Hitler’s hand picked “Aryan” athlete went far in discrediting Hitler’s ideology and political agenda and in advancing the Allies agenda worldwide.

This is a short example of the type of analysis I am looking for. When you tell me about the particular games you are analyzing, only spend about 1 paragraph “setting the stage”, that means telling me what the events were, what the political agenda was. I have studied the Olympic games so assume that I know what you are talking about. Focus the bulk on your writing on your analysis of the relationship between sports an politics, and giving examples of this relationship between the games and politics.

Keep quotes to a minimum, and when quoting one of your sources make sure to use quotation marks.

VERY IMPORTANT: Write this assignment as a Word document, and attach it. DO NOT write in the text box provided.

paper: Topic : Case Study on Death and Dying

Assignment Case Study on Death and Dying

Max Points: 200

Details:

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions.

The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative ethical analysis of George’s situation and decision from the perspective of two worldviews or religions: Christianity and a second religion of your choosing. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to you. Examples of faiths to choose from include Sikh, Baha’i, Buddhism, Shintoism, etc.

In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions in detail for Christianity and your selected faith. Refer to Chapter 2 of Called to Care for the list of questions. Once you have outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis from each perspective.

In a minimum of 1,500-2,000 words, provide an ethical analysis based upon the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with insights gained from your research, and answering the following questions based on the research:

  1. How would each religion interpret the nature of George’s malady and suffering? Is there a “why” to his disease and suffering? (i.e., is there a reason for why George is ill, beyond the reality of physical malady?)
  2. In George’s analysis of his own life, how would each religion think about the value of his life as a person, and value of his life with ALS?
  3. What sorts of values and considerations would each religion focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
  4. Given the above, what options would be morally justified under each religion for George and why?
  5. Finally, present and defend your own view.

Support your position by referencing at least three academic resources (preferably from the GCU Library) in addition to the course readings, lectures, the Bible, and the textbooks for each religion. Each religion must have a primary source included. A total of six references are required according to the specifications listed above. Incorporate the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is required.
