Humanities

this essay you must find a solution of the lowering levels of Lake Meads water and find a solution for the problem you will then believe the solution will work and then you will doubt that the solution will work. please be sure to read through assignment description carefully. this is 4-5 pages double spaced.

Rationale:

Most people like to oversimplify complex issues. They establish a hypothesis/potential proposal and only seek out evidence that serves to support it, assuming their audience will naturally support them. That is the essence of confirmation bias, which we have addressed. By engaging in such practices, you are exposing to your reader that you unwilling to recognize alternative perspectives or beliefs (which your audience might hold). If your audience does not feel as though their concerns are being recognized, they won’t listen to your argument.

Assignment Description:

From identification to action: This signifies the next stage in the process leading to that final Proposal Paper. In the last paper, you identified a problem. For this assignment, you will establish a hypothetical proposal that should help to reduce or eliminate the problem you identified. This proposal should be something actionable that is implemented by a specific audience. REMEMBER: there is a difference between an actionable proposal and a proposal purely based on an ideology/intention.

***Example of an actionable thesis statement: CSN needs to build a multi-level parking lot. Sample proposal based on ideology/intention: CSN should do something about their parking.

Approach/Framing: You will approach this hypothetical proposal through an investigative/skeptical lens. By which, I mean you will question the proposal’s efficacy. At the beginning of your essay, after briefly summarizing the problem, you will present a research question in place of a thesis statement (example: Should a school uniform policy be implemented across the Clark County School District?).

Body: For the rest of the paper, you will play the believing and doubting game; you will essentially “wallow in complexity”. This video (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. provides a nice way to conceptualize that form of thinking. Your goal is to test the strength of your hypothetical proposal. Think in terms of a scientific experiment: scientists are told to present a hypothesis and test the durability of that hypothesis by critically examining its limitations. Don’t rush through this assignment.

Arguments and Evidence: Supported by research from at least 6 sources, you will present arguments that serve to display the potential effectiveness of your proposal, as well as arguments that highlight points of opposition. Below is a way to approach each section:

  1. Believing portion: In this section, you need to show us how you can support that a proposal of this type can work. The best way is to find data collected from other areas where a comparable proposal has effectively resolved a similar problem. Try to rely on that empirical data that displays its efficacy. When examining other areas where a proposal of this sort has been implemented, really show us how those areas are comparable. For example: if you want to show us that solar energy can provide for the city’s energy needs and use another city as a point of support, you will need to prove that this other city has the the same needs as we do. If this is a new proposal, expert testimony can also serve as a point of support; although, it’s definitely not as strong. If you go this route, really extrapolate on the ways in which experts actually support their theories.
  2. Doubting portion: In this section, you need to identify valid points of opposition that one might present to this proposal. First off, consider thinking of logistical issues: do we have the resources to implement something like this? Next, think of theoretical counterarguments that one might make based on the very idea of this proposal. If you can’t think of ways to doubt your proposal, keep this question in mind: why isn’t this proposal currently being implemented? In addition, make sure to identify reasonable arguments that someone would actually present. For example, if your argument is that we need to tax the casinos more heavily in order to fund public schools, don’t present a silly argument like “Some people may not want to fund schools, because it will encourage more students to go to school, and then, schools will be overcrowded” (sample argument presented in a student’s paper). Good rule of thumb: if you can’t locate evidence that supports the idea, or find somebody who presents the theory, don’t include it in your paper. In addition, DO NOT REFUTE THESE CLAIMS IN THIS PAPER. Save that for the final paper.

Your goal: After reading this paper, I should feel as though you’ve examined different angles of your proposal and you haven’t merely skimmed the surface. You may find that this exercise helped you identify that this particular claim can’t stand up to opposition…and that’s a good thing. You don’t want to go forward with a weak proposal. Remember that you can always revise your proposal.

Tangible Evidence: Remember: when you present the different arguments that surround this issue, don’t merely present the general claims that different people present. Don’t merely shop for quotes that sound great. Present the hard, tangible data they would use to support their argument (even if it doesn’t help to support your argument). I really want to see those solid facts represented in this paper.***

  1. Introductory Paragraph
    1. Provide a basic introduction of the problem, a snapshot
    2. Present some piece of data to illustrate the problem
    3. In place of an argumentative thesis, provide a question that will guide your exploration of this proposal (Ex: Would a system like Housing First work to reduce homelessness in Las Vegas?), or present a generalized thesis about the different arguments surrounding the proposal (Ex: There are different perspectives concerning the effectiveness of a Housing First program in Las Vegas.).
  2. First Claim-
    1. 1st benefit of the proposal (“If we engage in this action, it will…” or “We need to do this because…”)
    2. Support with data/theories
    3. Analyze that data (What does this data mean for this argument? How does it help to support this particular claim?)
  3. Second Claim-
    1. One possible complication or point of opposition to the proposal (“Unfortunately, some would claim…” or “The possible limitations to this approach are…”)
    2. Support with data/theories
    3. Analyze that data (What does this data mean for this argument? How does it support this particular claim? How could it complicate the information presented in the previous argument/source?)
  4. Third Claim-
    1. Another benefit of this proposal (“It can also help to…”)
    2. Support with data/theories
    3. Analyze that data (What does it mean? How does it support this claim? How could it complicate the information presented in the previous claims?)
  5. Fourth Claim
    1. (Continue the established structure for all your claims)
  6. Conclusion
    1. Provide an analysis of where you need to go in the research/exploration process and/or what evidence is currently coming through stronger to you

Essays must be submitted by 11:00 p.m. on the indicated due dates, using the online essay submission links located in Blackboard under the .Assignments. button.

Content: Each essay you write should focus on a specific text we have examined in class—with emphasis on a short passage or precisely defined feature or element of that text. A literary analysis is NOT…

  • a broad discussion of a text and its background, purpose, or influence
  • a summary of its plot or content
  • a reflective statement of your own emotional response to the text

Instead, a literary analysis is a tightly focused and methodical examination of some key element in a text—a powerful image, a puzzling symbol, an intriguing character, a structural oddity, etc.Furthermore, your discussion of that key element should aim to support a narrow, argumentative statement about the text.How does your examination of that key element help us to better understand the text’s theme, development, aesthetic merit, or significance for a given culture, place, or time?

For example, a literary analysis of The Epic of Gilgamesh might focus upon a single image, or pattern of images—say, the use of animal images—to underscore some part of the epic’s overall message.Surely, Gilgamesh contains many other formal elements as well, but your analysis would ignore those other elements, or mention them only when they relate to your particular thesis (the main point you want to make about the epic’s use of animal imagery).

Sources:For literary analysis, you needn’t use any outsides sources other than the literary text you are analyzing.But if you do decide to include some ideas borrowed from scholarly sources – including those you discuss in your Literary Research Blog entries – be sure to cite all instances of borrowed material (words and/or ideas) and to document all sources from your which you borrow in a Works Cited list, using proper MLA guidelines. See the resources in our Blackboard site under the .Handouts. button for help on quoting, citing, and documenting literary and scholarly texts. Also, do not quote heavily from your sources; instead, use them sparingly but effectively to support your own ideas.

Length & Style: Each essay you write should be approximately 1,000 words in length (but no more than three pages, double-spaced) and should be aimed at a college-level academic audience. Your style, therefore, should be neither too formal nor too casual. Aim for a smooth, natural flow, but avoid contractions (can’t, wouldn’t, isn’t), first- and second-person pronoun references (I, me, you, your), and familiar expressions like come to find out, now back to my topic, and long story short. At the same time, do not aim for lofty diction or artful, “impressive” sentence structures. Keep your sentences clear and correct in accordance with the rules of standard, English grammar and punctuation.Finally, treat your audience and your topic with seriousness and respect.

Writing Tips: The following tips will help you to write effective literary analysis essays.

  • Choose a literary text you like, but one that you find a bit puzzling or intriguing.A suitable choice is not necessarily some text you feel you understand fully, or a short one, or one that seems easy to figure out.Such a text may leave you struggling to reach a 600-word minimum after you have quickly stated all you understand about it in two or three paragraphs.Instead, go with a text that offers you some promise of discoveries deeper than those you may have made during your first encounter with it.Be brave.
  • Have a clear and narrow (sharply focused) main idea.Your main point may be a response to ideas you have discovered in one or more of your scholarly sources, but don’t allow those third-party sources to dominate your essay.Remember: this is your analysis and interpretation of the literature; let your ideas and arguments direct the discussion.
  • Convey your main idea or purpose clearly in a thesis statement early in your essay.Your thesis statement need not be your first sentence, or even the last sentence of the first paragraph; but ideally, it should come early in the essay to orient your readers and help them follow the body of your discussion.
  • Support your points with evidence from the literary text and/or your scholarly sources, using direct quotations only when the exact language of the source is necessary to bolster your points.When you do quote a source, do so sparingly, using only as much text as you need in order to support your point. Where possible, rely more upon summary and paraphrase to set up your points and explain key scenes or passages of the text.
  • Document the text you analyze, and all additional sources from which you borrow words or ideas, in a Works Cited list (using MLA guidelines) at the end of your essay.Cite page or line numbers for any passages you quote, paraphrase, or summarize. See the resources in our Blackboard site under the .Handouts. button for help on quoting, citing, and documenting literary and scholarly texts.
  • Contact Mr. Rockson for help if you have any difficulty with this assignment.

Formatting Your Work:

  • Type your essay in a word processing application like Microsoft Word
  • Use Times New Roman font and 12-point characters (as in this handout)
  • Double-space the entire document (including the heading, title line, and Works Cited list)
  • Set the margins to 1-inch on all four sides (top, bottom, left, and right)
  • Provide a two-line heading at the very top of the page, flush to the left-hand margin
  • Identify your essay as Short Argument Essay 1 in the second line of your heading
  • Provide an original title, centered, on the line immediately below your two-line heading
  • Don’t use the title of this assignment instruction sheet as the title of your essay
  • Your document’s first page should conform to the model on the following page.

Your name
