you have to read the book from online book which is  ” give me liberty ” fourth edition then write an essay . I will upload the book’s picture below . 

  In your essay, you will answer this question:

Which was more important for Douglass, being freed from slavery or learning to read?  

Your paper will have five paragraphs:

In the first paragraph, you will introduce your reader to the topic. You could discuss slavery during the era of the Cotton Kingdom.  You could discuss the relationship between slaveowners and slaves, white men and women and black men and women.  Minimum length for this paragraph should be five sentences.

In your second paragraph, you should explain why slavery was important in American society in the 1830s.  It must also begin with a topic sentence that explains the role of slavery in creating distinctions among people in American society, and why reading and education were important in maintaining these distinctions.  Minimum length: four sentences.

In your third and fourth paragraphs, you will answer the question.  These two paragraphs should be at least five sentences in length each and begin with a topic sentence that, not only summarizes the point of the paragraph, but also ties the paragraph back to the thesis statement.  They should also use the evidence sandwich technique to tie the specifics from Chapter 6 of the Douglass Narrative. 

On this essay, you also will include a concluding paragraph that does more than restate all of your previous points.  It should show your reader the connection between the points you made and the significance of slavery and education in shaping social relations in American before the Civil War.  Try not to be repetitive.  This paragraph must be four or more sentences in length and begin with a topic sentence.

Your paper must be typed, double-spaced, with your name at the top of the first page.  It must be written entirely in your own words. If you quote from the book put the page number in parentheses.

Each member, write your description and analysis into a paper that is 3-5 pages, double spaced, 12 point font. This paper should not only contain your data and individual analysis but the conclusions the group has drawn. DUE MONDAY, FINALS WEEK // UPLOAD FILE TO CATALYST

Sample Individual Paper (excerpt)

Gender is a social construct. The idea that people who are born with one set of genitals or another automatically come equipped with all of the societal expectations and habits built into them has been proven to be incorrect, and has also been proven to be damaging. We are creatures of infinite variance and beauty, and restricting ourselves to an arbitrary set of boxes does not work to our advantage. However, this binary concept is worked deep into our core from a young age, impressed upon us from every angle, including from one of the most basic tools we use to communicate with each other: Our language. Language influences our idea of gender, and therefore can affect our actions in hundreds of subtle and not­so­subtle ways.

Over the last few weeks, I participated in a group study to attempt to suss out some of the ways gender can alter behaviors. In particular, we studied the interactions between men and women. We recorded a number of ten minute conversations between men and women of different ages, relationships, and doing different activities, and came up with some common differences between them.

In our conversations, men and women spoke, on average, for . . . . [end of excerpt from 3.5 page 8 paragraph double spaced paper]

TOPIC C: Language and Gender

Are there differences in the way men and women speak?

Observe a man and a woman talking for 10 minutes. Use the Topic C Data Sheet (attached) to record your observations.

Based on your observations, summarize your findings related to language and gender.

NOTE: This is a research project, so you must find a way to generate sufficient data for analysis. This means you must observe multiple sets of men and women talking together in order to formulate sound findings. You may choose to formally observe these conversations, which means you would notify your subjects and record their interaction (with audio/video/notes).You could even give each arranged pair the same discussion topic and set them loose to talk for 10 minutes.You may choose to randomly and informally observe conversations, in the dining or study areas on campus or in your workplace.Or you can have a balance of both forms of observation.You must do whatever it takes to gather enough data to conduct your research.Instructor suggests each group member analyzes and presents their own data/observations to the group, who then collects all the data, analyzes it, and compiles the findings into a cohesive presentation.

To support your conclusions, present your analysis of the following questions:

· What conclusions can be made about the different ways these two people speak?

· Could the differences have been as a result of their gender? Their age? Their
relationship?

· Did their physical appearances have any affect on the communication?

· How did they take turns?

· Who spoke the most? The least? Who had the most turns? Who took the longest
turns?

· Who interrupted whom the most often? What did they do when they interrupted?
How did gender, age, or other factors affect this?

· What type of “speech acts” did they perform?

· In what ways did they communicate about past and future events?

· How did they open and close their conversation? Did they use any social rituals?

Conversation Observation

1. Age (approximate if you need to)

Person A: Around 30s Person B: Around 20s

2. Sex

Person A: Female Person B: Male

3. Physical appearance (general remarks)

Person A: She is a white person who has brown long- curly hair

Person B: He is also a white person, but he looks younger than Person A.

4. Speaking time (Using a stopwatch, note each time a person begins and ends a stretch of speech. Then add the total time each person spoke.)

Time for Person A:4 minutes 42 seconds/10 minutes

Time for Person B: 5 minutes 2 seconds /10 minutes

Percent of time Person A spoke: 47%

Percent of time Person B spoke: 50%

Percent of time NO ONE spoke: 3%

5. Number of times Person A interrupted Person B: 6

Number of times Person B interrupted Person A: 1

6. Number of times a person performed the following type of “act” in relation to the other person

A questioning B:
4 B questioning A: 2

A demanding from B: 1 B demanding from A: 0

A instructing B: 2 B instructing A: 2

A correcting B: 1 B correcting A: 0

7. Number of times each referred to:

Person A Person B

Past event: 22

Future event: 1

8. Number of times each asked for clarification of some point.

Person A: 2 Person B: 2

If the observation included the beginning or ending of the conversation, answer questions 9, 10, and 11.

1. Who had the first word? Who had the last word?

First word (initiated interaction): A. Last word (closed interaction) A.

1. 10.Who initiated interaction? How?

From a video person A, a female speaker introduced to the listeners firstly, and passed the introduction to person B, a male speaker.

1. 11.Who closed interaction? How?

Like an introduction person A closed an interaction by what she and Person A talked during a conversation, and also asked to him if he wanted to say something.

Here is what we have so far

Assignment 2.2: Justification Report – Part 2
Due Week 5 and worth 150 points

In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor’s suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References.

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

• Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)
• Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)
• References (for Question 6)

Using the provided template, write Part 2 of a single-spaced report in which you:

1. Include and revise the sections from Assignment 2.1 (Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods) per instructor suggestions.
2. Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you’ve identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research. 
   1. Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments. 
3. Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by each of your five (5) criteria. 
   1. Example: If your research revealed that four (4) companies similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in this case, the option to telework from home three days per week – satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always there for you!”
4. Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc. 
   1. Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up with References in APA style):

      Evaluation of Alternatives

      • Productivity
      1. • Alternative A: Telework from home three (3) days per week 
           • {narrate findings based on research article 1 here}
         • Alternative B: Offer two (2) extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year 
           • {narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
      • Cost
      1. • Alternative A: Telework from home three (3) days per week 
           • {narrate findings based on research article 1 here}
         • Alternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year
         • • {narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
5. Briefly summarize in narrative form the major discoveries that emerged from the Evaluation of Alternatives section.
6. Include a chart like the ones below to illustrate at a glance:

   Figure 1: Alternatives Analyzed by Criteria

   Criteria	Telework Option	Floating Holiday Option
   Productivity	Very high	Negligible increase
   Cost	Very high	Moderate
   Company Image	Increased	Negligible increase
   Worker Morale	Increased	Negligible increase
   Practicality	Moderate	Low
   TOTAL Feasibility* of Alternatives based on Criteria?	Moderate to High	Low to Moderate

   *Feasability = Capability of an alternative being carried out with success

7. Include an APA style (6th edition) References page that documents the two (2) sources (minimum) that you used and cited in-text in your Evaluation of Alternatives section. You may use secondary resources, or you may include one primary source and one secondary source. Remember that both in-text citations and References must be included (to avoid plagiarism) whenever you are directly quoting, summarizing, or paraphrasing researched material.

Your assignment must:

• Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Support ideas or claims in body paragraphs with clear details, examples, and explanations.
