  • week 11 essay

    You can choose one of two approaches to this assignment.

    1. Write an essay analyzing the quality of the argument in one of three articles, either “While Elgin Marble Debate Rages, There is Still a Market for Looted Antiquities,” “To return or not: Who should own indigenous art?,” or “Cultural Relativism.” If you choose to analyze the quality of the argument in one of these articles, then your thesis should make an assertion about the quality of the argument and your evidence will be drawn from the text of the article you choose.
    2. Write an essay creating your own logical argument on either the issue of where cultural artifacts belong, or on “Whorf’s Hypothesis.” If you choose to create your own logical argument on one of these issues, then your thesis should offer your own assertion, and your evidence will be drawn from your own examples and observations.

    How to Proceed

    Begin by understanding college expectations for writing to analyze.

    When you write to analyze a text, you identify what you want to analyze – content, language, purpose, structure. Your essay will have a thesis that, in some way, offers your own insight and assertion about the quality of the information in the article. Remember that analysis breaks down the whole into parts and examines those parts in order to evaluate the quality of ideas and content in the whole.

    When you write to analyze an issue, you also break that issue into its parts and examine its parts in order to support your own insight and assertion.

    Note that this is not a research essay; please confine yourself to referencing the articles you’ve chosen. The bulk of your essay should still consist of your own details and examples that support your thesis and topic sentence assertions.

    Assignment Completion Questions – include at the end of the assignment

    1. What are the 12 main concepts about reading and writing processes that you learned in this module? Please focus on reading and writing processes, and not the content of the articles. Consider what you read about reading and writing, and what you learned through both the skill self-assessment and writing assignment.
    2. What challenged you in learning these reading and writing concepts and applying them to write your assignment?
    3. What might you do for the next assignment to lessen the challenge?
    4. Identify a different situation (academic or non-academic) and explain how you might apply a concept learned in this module to that situation.

    In a country where 95-98% of all households have a television and where we are bombarded by nearly 3000 advertisements a day (The Merchants of Cool), the ability to identify, analyze, and evaluate the implicit arguments made in various forms of marketing has become exceedingly important. Think, for instance, of how many different forms of advertising exist today. There are billboards, radio commercials, TV commercials, direct mail flyers, newspaper and magazine print ads, movie trailers, webpage pop-ups, banner ads, Google ads (both alongside searches and in Gmail), movie posters, T-shirts, and phone calls from telemarketers. With ads as abundant as they are, is it any wonder that marketing firms must go to greater and greater lengths to persuade us to buy their products? One way is to make an ad a form of entertainmentthink music videos and the Super Bowl ads. Therefore, it is the major goal of this assignment for you to analyze the language and images of an advertisement in order to understand how these elements are used to put forth an implicit argument. You will most likely require some background information to help you provide the context for your analysis. For this reason, you will need to incorporate three sources other than the ad into this essay.

    Your job, then, is to find an advertisement and to write an analysis of its implicit argument. Every ad makes an argument that starts out explicitly with You should buy this product. However, there is always an implicit because that follows. An argument that makes the claim that you should buy this product because it is cool and will make you cool is a different argument than one based on the claim that you should buy this product because it is better than the others or because it is equally as good and cheaper. The appeal to coolness is usually implied rather than made explicit. But even these arguments are too explicit for most of todays advertising, which must constantly explore new ways of getting our attention and, ultimately, our money. This is why the analysis of their argumentative strategies is important.

    Here are some questions to get you thinking about the assignment:

    • Who is depicted in the ad? What stereotypes do these people conform to or resist? What groups could they be identified with?
    • Who is the core audience for the ad? How can you tell? How does the ad attempt to appeal to this audience?
    • Where does the ad appear? What time of day? What kind of media? In other words, in what rhetorical context does the ad appear?
    • Who has power, authority, or control in the ad? How can you tell?
    • What repeats in the ad? What categories of things can you make out of items in the ad? What elements contrast within the ad? Which of these answers are the most interesting and why? Think about .
    • What evidence in the advertisement seems to contradict or complicate your conclusions? In other words, what counter-arguments could be levied against your conclusions, and how would you refute them?
    • Which of the rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) does the ad employ?

    These questions are merely here to guide your thinking about this assignment, so please do not write the essay by answering these questions in a list-like way. That would only make for a disorganized essay.

    It should also be said that it is not the purpose of this essay for you to discuss whether you like the ad or not. That should be largely irrelevant. In fact, it is better if you approach the ad with a healthy dose of skepticism about it. You can discuss the extent to which you think the ad is particularly effective in its argumentative strategy, but you will need to explain why you think this. Therefore, spend your time looking at the aspects of the advertisement you have chosen and how those aspects reveal an argument. Keep in mind that a lot of ads are really stupid, simplistic, and not worth analyzing. Aim for an ad that has a lot going on in it, or you won’t have much to say. Remember, too, that some advertisements are much more complex than they first appear, so dig deep. What feels like your most outrageous inference may be your most illuminating.

    Requirements:

    This essay should be 1000-1250 words long, typed, double-spaced, and should follow MLA Style for general formatting and the documentation of sources. You should have at least three sources. Make sure to incorporate the feedback you received to enhance your final copy.

    Your grade will be determined according to the Final Paper Rubric embedded in this assignment.

  • History Essay for Writing 102

    Now, you have already picked and defined your archetype, your concept, and defended your definition of it. The next step is to trace back the appearance of your archetype. How far can you take it back? What has changed as it develops? Does it appear in different cultures? How does it differ between those cultures? These are questions you may want to answer when you look at the history of your topic. Looking at the history can help you understand how the archetype appears in modern fairy tales and can help you look at how it has been, is being, and might be changed for modern audiences. You may also want to look at the culture that shaped a particular version of your archetype and how it influenced that version.

    One of the challenges of this essay is to select credible sources: accurate versions of historical stories and credible academic sources discussing the history of these stories. You will need to reconcile and synthesize these sources into your account of how your archetype came to be.

    Quotes are a requirement for this essay. You should have at least one quote from every source on your works cited list.

    Please remember that AI is not permitted in this class, thus for any aspect of this essay assignment.

    Prompt:

    This essay is to look at the history of your archetype. Remember, there are no original fairy tales, but your job is to go back to older versions of the stories youre looking at. Explain how the archetype has developed as you define that archetype. Look at how the history has shaped the definition. Explain links between the history of the stories and the archetype. This may include links between the cultures and versions of the stories. You can look at problems within the archetype and how the history of it may have contributed to those problems.

    This essay is not asking you to define your archetype. Its already done that. Its not asking you to argue with your sources. Thats the next essay. Its not asking you to make suggestions for how the archetype should continue to change. Thats the fifth essay. In this, you are looking at its history and how that history has shaped it.

    You must use at least six sources for this essay. At least three of them must be academic (peer-reviewed) sources. At least three must be classic story sources. You must cite your quotes and paraphrasing. You must include a works cited page. Use MLA format.

    This essay should follow standard essay structure. Be sure you have a strong thesis. Put some thought into how to develop and organize your essay.

    Format:

    Your essay should be 1800-2100 words. Use Times, Ariel, or Helvetica font. Font should be size 12, and your essay should be double-spaced, single-sided. Include page numbers in the upper right corner. In the upper left corner of the first page, include a header including:

    Essay Guidelines:

    • This essay has only ONE prompt, but you can choose to write about any of the 30 Days episodes provided in the list from Week 7 OR you can use AI/LLMs as a topic for the essay.
    • Give your essay a title that reflects its content.
    • Focus your topic carefully by stating a clear, well-defined thesis (in the first paragraph), and build and develop your thesis coherently through logically organized paragraphs toward a significant conclusion.
    • Use the present tense to discuss the work you are analyzing and avoid superfluous background information and digressions.
    • Review and proofread your essay several times, carefully and slowly.
    • Pay attention to the required components necessary, as well as the general structure (discussed below).

    Using one the episodes of 30 Days (or the AI/LLM material) and the chapter/outline on Rogerian Argument as models, write an essay exploring your chosen topic. In your essay, you should objectively investigate both sides of the issue, using quotations and examples from the episode you watched. You should also articulate any common ground that the participants of the episode reached (or if they didnt reach common ground, areas where there were clear missed opportunities). If you are choosing AI/LLMs, you can simply articulate any points where the two sides have common ground. Your thesis should state an argument that is not necessarily sided, but rather one that proposes a solution or a place of compromise given the two opposing sides.

    This essay must demonstrate Rogerian elements; be sure to include:

    • The problem (provide a brief explanation in the introduction) and an overall goal that the two opposing sides might have (your main argument and thesis).
    • A neutral and in-depth explanation of the first position including support/evidence, and description of the context in which it is indeed valid.
    • A neutral and in-depth explanation of the second position, including support/evidence, and description of the context in which it is valid.
    • An analysis of the common ground of the two positions (as seen in the episode, or places you feel that compromise could be reached)
    • A conclusion

    Note: each of the above bullet points is a section of the paper and may require more than one paragraph. However, the bullet points above provide a general way to outline your essay. That is, in your essay, the first few body paragraphs should be all about one side [neutrally] and the second set of body paragraphs relate to the other side [neutrally]. Then, your last (set of) body paragraph(s) can discuss the common ground.
