Topic:

Choose Sherman, Alexie and one of his work  (fiction, poetry, or drama) that we have or will cover in class, and examine the author ‘s view of life as expressed in her/his work.  Focus on a research topic in which  you examine how historical,  biographical,  psychological,  or sociological conditions  influenced the writer (see pages  1893- 1924 to identify critical perspectives  and the questions one should ask).

For example, if you were analyzing Faulkner’s “A Rose For Emily,” you might choose to approach it from an historical  or sociological perspective examining the degree to which Faulkner’s view of the South as resembling  an aging relic resistant to change may or may not have been  accurate.  This would require comparing aspects of the story with historical  evidence.   You might take a biographical  perspective  and examine the degree to which real life experiences influenced Faulkner ‘s writing. Or you might research Faulkner’s understanding  of psychological  theory as evidenced by his character Emily  Grierson.

If you were to analyze Sherman Alexie’s “Year of the Indian,” you might choose an historical or sociological approach examining the idea of cultural genocide within the context of Alexie’s writing.

 One might examine Hemingway’s “Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” from a sociological perspective focusing on Hemingway’s gender-specific code of behavior, or one might compare Hemingway’s view of women with a modern feminist view. Using a biographical or psychological perspectives, one could examine the degree that Hemingway’s early childhood experiences and his attitudes toward women in his life shaped his later  writing.

One could examine Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun from a sociological perspective in order to determine the degree to which racism  impeded the dreams of the Younger  family.

Research:

The strength of your paper depends on the argument you intend to make. Once you have focused on a topic, you will need to formulate an argument or thesis which incorporates your sense of the view of life the author expresses in the work.  You will need to research  a variety of outside sources to offer evidence to support your argument. This is where the library’s literary criticism will come in handy. Besides literary criticism, you will need to explore historical and biographical accounts in order to gather information so that you may draw your own critical conclusions. You must quote or summarize (briefly) the views of at least five outside sources who can offer support for the critical perspectives you have identified. At least three sources must be from print books, magazines, or journals. You also should share your own analysis and insight wherever possible.

Please write a Paragraph answering to this discussion below with your opinion. Please include citations and references in alphabetical order in case of another source.

In March of 2010 the
Affordable Care Act was enacted, this was designed to ensure that everyone
had access to health care and more affordable health care. It original
design was to realign and encourage collaboration between health and
healthcare system (Public Health, n.d.). One of the initiatives was a
Public Health Workforce Loan Repayment Program. This was to attempt to
make sure that there were enough nurses to care for these patients. The
incentive of having loan repayment would cost the participant three year commitment
to public health agency, the Health & Human Service Department offers
a repayment program (American Nurses Association, 2014).

With the scholarships and
loan repayment programs, this encourages primary care providers, dentists,
mental health care providers and nurses to commit to communities that are
in need of their services. We are familiar with this with Native Health
and is now bridging over to other public health offices.

As a nurse with a role in
providing health care to the population they are able to support the long
term care for these patients. Many of the patients that benefit from
public health assistance are the mentally ill, the low income, mothers and
babies, and the elderly. I have personally noticed an increase in the
number of public health nurses and they are getting out into the community
teaching and caring for the community.

This written assignment involves research on the internet.

I would also encourage you to read the information and then summarize it in your own words.

Under no circumstances should you copy and paste directly from a website unless you cite it correctly. Also changing/replacing a word in a sentence is still plagiarism. For instance: a website says – “Consequently, trade has increased substantially”. You write: “Trade has increased substantially”, OR, “Consequently, trade has increased a lot”. These are both examples of plagiarism and are not permitted – please see the syllabus and student code of conduct for more information.

If you are in doubt, ask before you submit.

Write the required number of words (see below), double-spaced and an identification header in the upper left hand corner (make sure the header appears on all pages not just the first one).

Question: The Northwest Seaport Alliance is important because of two major threats to the ports of Tacoma and Seattle. These are the Port of Prince Rupert and the Panama Canal expansion.

2. In 150 to 200 words, explain what the Panama Canal expansion is and why it is a threat to the Ports of Tacoma and Seattle.

3. In 150 to 200 words, explain how the Northwest Seaport Alliance will help the Ports involved stay competitive. Then, explain whether or not you think this is a good strategy and why you think that. If you do not think it is a good strategy, explain why, and suggest an alternative strategy. Consider this: it is good to have opinions, and your paper should included a thesis statement – but strengthen the statement of your opinion by backing it up with facts.
