The Gold Rush Discussion Question
Humanities
Hi, I am going to attach 3 files and give you two links. The three attachments are: The lecture notes, lecture slides, and the checklist to go through in order to properly do this assignment. Then I will provide you with two links. The first link is a song by bob Marley around 4 minutes and the second link is an article. Please make sure you read all three attachments as well as the link and listen to the song before doing this assignment. I understand it would literally be an hour of work to complete but that is why I am paying you for an hour of work. So please take this assignment seriously and do not turn in any botched up writing or poorly written work. This is for a university where they take english writing skills very seriously. So please make sure you can properly write an essay and article your argument before you turn in the assignment. When answering the questions please make sure you answer each and everyone of the questions very carefully. I do not want a lot of writing that doesn’t properly answer the questions. If you write a lot but do not answer the questions properly or you did not read all of the required readings so you cannot answer the question properly then I will request a refund. Also if you turn in the assignment and it is poorly written (your sentences don’t flow properly or you have bad grammar) then I will issue a refund. So please take this seriously. Thank you.
