Are there crimes that are justified or at least mitigated? Considering the women in “Trifles” believe that Mrs. Wright does not deserve to be punished for the murder of John Wright, Do you think she should be tried and convicted? (remember to avoid phrases like “I think,” “I believe,” “In my opinion,” etc.)

Module1.2Assignment

The purpose of the epiphany narrative is to let you practice a style of writing that is often generative for developing academic research writing topics. This is our first essay for the course. This assignment is due by 11:59 PM on 3/12 and requires the submission of either a Word document or a PDF. Remember that the University Writing Center can be an excellent resource for getting feedback and consultation on your writing.

Instructions

Essay #1: Epiphany Narrative

In 750-1000 words, write a compelling, insightful, and logically organized narrative that shows how you suddenly came to realize a systemic problem in the world today. When deciding on your focus, start with your own experience, but make sure that there is a wider issue involved, one that affects others. For example, you may have suddenly realized that one of your feet is larger than the other, but that’s just a fact of nature, and it will not suffice for this assignment.

In contrast, let’s say that in talking with classmates and comparing your backgrounds, you realized (as I did when I was a college student) that your socioeconomic status clearly played a role in your preparation for college. Since poverty is a systemic issue that negatively impacts our educational system, a narrative/memoir/testimonio about your experience going to an underfunded school would serve as a meaningful first-hand look at this important societal issue. In other words, your lived experience is valuable evidence to support a thesis about a societal problem.

It is important to note at the outset that Essay #1 can and actually should inform your subsequent papers. For example, Essay #2 is a Causal Argument, which means you’re looking at the cause of a phenomenon (i.e. the causes of Grade D and F schools) and/or the effects of a phenomenon (i.e. the effect of attending a Grade D and F school). Essay #3 is an IMRaD, so you will be using primary research in order to investigate an issue (such as investigating whether there is a link between family income and academic achievement). Finally, Essay #4 is an argument in which you offer a solution to a problem (such as a proposal on how to ensure greater equity in our schools regardless of the socioeconomic level of its students).

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have questions. I look forward to reading your narratives.

Argument with integrated research, the final essay assignment of the course, is an extended research project of at least 4-6 pages in length. in which you will argue a position concerning a specific issue.

As you start planning your essay, think about the following questions:

• Who is your intended audience (the audience with whom you want to share your perspective)?
• What goals do you want to accomplish with the essay? Do you want to change your audience’s mind? Do you want to promote your audience’s cause? Do you want your audience to understand your perspective?
• What choices will you make (about language, structure, development, format) in order to achieve those goals?

Suggested process

1. Begin by identifying specific controversies in your chosen topic.
2. Choose one controversy to focus on for your annotated bibliography and essay.
3. Research the controversy, develop an annotated bibliography, refine your topic, generate ideas, and develop a working thesis.
4. Draft the essay and revise your thesis as needed.

You should

Your final essay should be detailed in terms of content, evidence, sources, and support. The topic should be tight and focused, and your position should be responsibly, persuasively, and credibly argued. As with any strong argument essay, you should:

Introduction

• Create interest in and introduce your topic
• End with your thesis

Body

• Support your argument with a series of focused body paragraphs
• Reference outside sources smoothly and effectively to illustrate points and to support claims
• Use the 1 or 2 quote body paragraph format
• Address and respond to counterarguments

Conclusion

• Conclude with a focused conclusion in which you sum up your main points and emphasize the significance of your argument
• Emphasize the significance of your argument

In addition your essay should:

• Format the essay MLA style
• Maintain an effective balance of ethos, pathos, and logos
• Convey your points through professional college-level writing
• Maintain crisp, clear prose
• Ensure that your finished essay is free of errors
• Demonstrate awareness of your rhetorical situation
• Include a minimum of four sources,
• Include a works cited page (in MLA format) with at least four sources.

Body Paragraph Format

For the Rhetorical Analysis Essay, you used the 1 quotes body paragraph format. Many times you find you would like to add a second quote to your paragraph. Adding the second quote is an easy addition. Use the format below:

1. Topic sentence –– this is the first sentence of the paragraph that clearly states the part of the argument this paragraph will examine
2. Evidence setup– Briefly give context to the quote. This could include general information or information from the source that helps the quote make more sense.
3. Evidence — provide 1 quote of that supports your argument
4. Buffer sentence…. you need some sort of sentence between the two quotes to transition to the next piece of evidence. Either give commentary to analyze the first quote and/or evidence setup for the second quote.
5. Evidence — provide 1 quote of that supports your argument. Consider using a quote from a different source here. It adds additional support to your argument
6. Commentary — explain/analyze how this quote(s) support your claim made in your topic sentence
7. Transition sentence –– transition to the next point by writing wrapping up this paragraph and giving us a sneak peak into the next paragraph.

You should have no more than 1-2 quotes per body paragraph. This way you can fully set up up and analyze each piece of evidence you are providing.

Counterargument

The goal of a counter argument paragraph is to acknowledge the other side of the argument and then prove why it is wrong. The counter argument(s) is typically the last paragraph before the conclusion but it can also be placed anywhere within the essay –> see the

Use following structure for each of your counter argument paragraph(s):

1. Start with a Turn Against. This is where you acknowledge the other side of the argument. Using phrasing like “Some say…”, “Proponents of this plan say…” or “It may be true that….”
2. Then come back to your side of the argument with a Turn Back. Key words help here too! Using phrasing like “However…”, “But..” or “Nevertheless….” Here you make another supporting point to your argument. This is your topic sentence!!
3. Briefly give context to the quote. This could include a brief explanation of what the rhetorical strategy is and/or information from the article to help make the quote make more sense.
4. Next, provide 1-2 quotes of the use of that appeal in the text.
5. Last, explain how this quote(s) support your claim about the effectiveness of that appeal.
6. Get ready to transition to the next point by writing wrapping up this paragraph and giving us a sneak peak into the next paragraph

First, identify a strength of the MLA style. Then, offer suggestions on their use of MLA. Check the paper against these MLA guidelines:

• Double-space the paper,
• Use Times New Roman, font size 12 pt.,
• Leave only one space after periods and other punctuation marks,
• Set the margins to 1 inch on all sides,
• Indent the first line of each paragraph one half-inch from the left margin,
• Create a header with your last name and the page number in the upper right-hand corner, one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin,
• List your name, your instructor’s name, the course, and the date in the upper left-hand corner of the first page. Make sure this part is also double-spaced. Make sure that the date format is “date, month, year.” Like this: 15 May 2022.

It has to be two different paper of at least 100 words per page. I have attached the instructions.

There is no set way that this outline should look, so do what works for you.
