  • “The Power of Literature: Analyzing the Elements and Impact of a Masterpiece by [Author]”

    Research Paper:
    A research paper is a piece of academic writing that provides analysis, interpretation, and
    argument based on in-depth independent research,
    Writing a research paper requires you to demonstrate a strong knowledge of your topic, engage
    with a variety of sources, and make an original contribution to the debate.
    There are many ways to generate an idea for a research paper:
    Brainstorming.
    You can try free writing, which involves taking a broad topic and writing continuously for
    a few minutes to identify anything relevant that could be interesting.
    You can also gain inspiration from another research. The discussion or
    recommendations sections of research papers often include ideas for other specific
    topics that require further examination.
    Once you have a broad subject area, narrow it down to choose a topic that interests you, meets
    the criteria of your assignment, and is possible to research.
    Choose ideas that are both original and specific.
    Introduction:
    Set the context–Provide general information about the main idea, explaining the situation so the
    reader can make sense of the topic and the claims you make and support.
    State why the main idea is important–Tell the reader why he should keep reading.
    The goal is to create a compelling, clear, and convincing essay people will want to read and act
    upon.
    State your thesis/claim.
    Body of the Essay:
    Find supporting arguments for each point you make, and present a strong point first, followed by
    an even stronger one, finishing with your strongest point.
    Show clearly how each point supports your thesis statement.
    Conclusion:
    The conclusion is designed to help your reader out of the paper’s argument, giving them a
    sense of finality.
    Trace the course of the paper, emphasizing how it all comes together to prove your thesis
    statement. Give the paper a sense of finality by making sure the reader understands how you’ve
    settled the issues raised in the introduction.
    **Choose a piece of literature that you consider being the best one you’ve read by that
    author. Make a thesis statement about this piece describing what makes it so good. Discuss
    what elements make it so outstanding, i.e., plot, setting, conflict theme, etc. Compare and
    contrast this piece with similar pieces written by others or this author. Discuss what other
    commentators or critics have to say about this piece and comment on them. Discuss what
    external elements, such as the author’s background may have influenced the writing of this
    piece. Restate your thesis as a conclusion and briefly restate your supporting evidence.
    Document all sources using the MLA format.

Sub monte iacent multa oppida.(1) Herculaneum, Pompeii et Nuceria sunt oppida quae sub monte Vesuviō iacent. Circum montem Vesuvium sunt multi collēs in quibus pulchrae arborēs sunt. Sub arboribus umbra est. In arboribus sunt multa mala et pira. In oppidō Nuceriā, quae est prope collēs, sunt multae tabernae. Duo tabernariī et servī eōrum veniunt ex Nuceriā et ambulant ad collēs. Mala et(5) pira, quae in arboribus sunt, non umbra, quae sub arboribus est, petunt. Unustabernarius est Titus. Alius tabernarius Lucius est. Tabernariī servōs vocant et imperant, “Venīte, servī! Carpite mala et pira ex arboribus!”. Servī parent et mala et pira carpunt. Mala et pira ā servīs in saccōs ponuntur. Titus saccōs eius et Luciī numerat. Numerus saccōrum centum est. Tabernariī imperant, “Servī, portate saccōs malōrum ad tabernam Titī. Portate saccōs(10) pirōrum ad tabernam Luciī!”Saccī malōrum et pirōrum vehuntur ad tabernās quae inoppidō Nuceriā sunt. Multae familiae habitant in oppidō Nuceriā. Caecilius est pater primae familiae. In familiā Caeciliī est unus filius et una filia. Filia Caeciliī est Melissa. Gaius est pater secundae familiae. Caecilia et familia per viam ambulant.(15)
    Gaius et familia ambulant ad tabernam Luciī. Gaius interrogat Lucium, “Quantum estpretium quinque pirorum?” Lucius respondet, “Quinque pira constant tantum decem sestertiīs.” Pretium pirōrum non delectat Gaium.

Melissa quoque saccum videt et plorat, “Sed saccum non tam(25) magnus est quam saccum malōrum! Pater, emi saccum magnum, non saccum parvum!” Caecilius non est laetus, sed magnum saccum malōrum filiae emit. Pater quattuor nummōs tabernariō dat et tabernarius saccum patrī dat. Tabernarius accipit nummōs ab patre. Caecilus saccum sumit et aperit. Pater non videt quid inest in saccō sed unum malum sumit ex saccō. Caecilius saccum claudit et malum filiae dat, “Ecce! Malum tuum!”(30)Melissa accipit malum sed non est laeta. Filia lacrimat! Filia vestigia dentium in malō suō videt! Filia, “Pater, aspice! Malum foedum est! Vestigia dentium in malō meō sunt! Tabernarius improbus est quia malum meum ēst!” Caecilius est iratus et Titum accusat, “O quam improbus est tabernarius qui mala cum vestigiīs dentium vendit!”(35) Caecilius Titum accusat, sed Titus non iratus est. Titus ridet et dentēs eius Caeciliō ostendit. Quot dentēs Titus habet? Titus vigintī dentēs habet. Quot vestigia dentium in malō sunt? Octo tantum vestigia dentium in malō sunt. Caecilius: “Titus tabernarius improbus non est! Sed, quis malum ēst?” Dum Caecilius Titum interrogat, filia Caeciliī saccum malōrum aperit. Filia in saccō(40) aspicit. Filia est laeta et ridet. Filia, “Vide, pater, quid inest in saccō!” Caecilius aspicit et videt quid est in saccō. Parva et formosa ovis inest in saccō! Parva ovis ridet et monstrat dentēs. Quot dentēs habet?

  • Title: “Empowering the Cowboy: A Micro Practice Perspective on Little America”

    The Cowboy (short film) Objective: This assignment counts towards your grade. It is important for us to be able to identify concepts that we learn in our course, in real life. As we learn about social work we learn to see the world through a social work perspective, particularly through micro, mezzo and macro lenses.
    This short film is powerful because it portrays the view of someone seeing the US for the first time from their perspective. Little America describes the story of a Nigerian immigrant, who finds a connection with the Cowboy culture in Oklahoma. 1. Watch Short Film: Click play icon in box below to view film
    Runs for about 32 min
    2. Reflect
    Reflect on all the social work concepts, theories and values you have learned up until now. Through our professional training, social workers make a commitment to empower individuals and at the same time improve society while paying special attention between interactions amongst individuals and their surroundings (recall the person-in-environmentapproach). Use introspection to reflect on the type of social work you would like to practice or eventually specialize in: micro, mezzo and/or macro:
    Micro practice refers mostly to helping individuals fit better into their environments. Macro practice refers to modifying the environment so that it works better for individuals. In other words, social workers make a commitment through professional training to help people and to improve society, and to give special attention to the interactions between people and between people and their surroundings.
    Mezzo Practice refers to work with families and small groups perhaps in a community setting. Many times mezzo practices is not specifically highlighted since it is sometimes subsumed under micro practice. 1. Analyze and Connect
    Answer the following by making connections from the film (minimum 500 words for full credit). (total 100 points)
    Choose a practice level that interests you: micro, mezzo or macro, define it (in your own words) make sure you bold the practice type you choose. (20 points) Apply: Use Iwegbuna as a case study. How would you use the practice type you chose (above) to support your client? This is a critical question: Make sure you identify the What (micro, mezzo, macro – what support are you offering and at what level) and the how (how are you implementing this support)…(30 points)
    Theory: Choose a theory from Module 2 (Strengths perspective, Empowerment, Person-In-Environment Approach, etc…) define theory (bold theory of choice) and define it. (20 points)
    Overall flow and structure of reflection. For example, how you connect your professional, educational experience (what you have learned in class) with Iwegbuna’s life story, observation skills, congruence. (10 points) – don’t worry too much about grammar this is not an English class 😉
    Overall thoughts about the movie (any recommendations for other documentaries pertaining to social work)? (10 points)
