You may write on any topic referencing animal wellbeing and animal welfare: animal sanctuaries, theme parks, predators, or pethood. Consider how we use and abuse animals in different ways. We disguise our abuse as love or just business. We spend money on outfits and matching bowls. We clip ears and tails, we “train” certain growth, we abuse with love. Farmers buy high powered antibiotics for their cattle. Chickens’ beaks are clipped to “keep them safe.” Pigs are slaughtered “efficiently” on an electrified metal floor. However, NO ANIMAL EVER APPLIED FOR A JOB AT THE CIRCUS. No horse ever asked its mom to SIGN IT UP FOR THE TRACK TEAM. Race horses are “euthanized” (killed) if the owner decides it is no longer a winner (read: has a broken leg or even curable illness). Some of us are not into sea predators, but Shark Week is hugely popular. More popular than sharks are whales—killer whales specifically. SeaWorld has taught what the psychosis looks like when Orcas (killer whales) grow up in “bathtubs.” Then, there is the fishing industry. Seaspiracy revealed the layered lies of the tuna industry and the other sea animals killed for those tuna melts at lunch and the Ahi Sushi Bar for dinner. Even though many Vegans have strong positions about animal interaction of any kind, they, too, are guilt tripped about hose plastic straws. In this essay, develop, organize, and present your strong opinion about some aspect of the animal world. Structure your five-to-seven paragraph essay as an argumentative essay. Let your heart or your interest direct you, but please refer to the examples and the rubric to make sure your essay is strong. This essay will have a strong point (thesis), strong supporting points, and a great conclusion. Everything you have done so far has followed this formula, so you are a pro by now.

Write a 5-6 page close-reading essay on the science fiction short story “Everywhere” by Geoff Ryman. Pick a thesis the text suggests, summarize the text in depth, and analyze how the thesis is developed through the story- including text evidence.

eras of literature such as beowulf ; you can pick any poem you’d like, but make sure it’s one you like well enough to spend some time studying and “digesting.” Make sure to COPY AND PASTE THE POEM AT THE TOP OF YOUR ESSAY.Modernize the spelling and punctuation. You can translate this from prose to verse if you’d like; you do not have to keep the rhyme and meter. When these poems were written, spelling and punctuation was not regularized. Make sure that the spelling and grammar conform to modern rules and standards and that it’s written with modern usage.
When there is a difficult word or a word that we no longer use (or rarely use), provide a footnote with a definition, so that the reader can understand. If you question whether a word is no longer used or rarely used, err on the side of caution and assume it isn’t and provide a footnote with a definition.
Write a summary. After the poem, write a summary of what it is literally about or addressing, and why we believe this to be true. This should be no fewer than 3 paragraphs. Make sure that for every point you make, you provide an example from the poem and/or the poet’s life, and provide an explanation of how and why the example supports the point and supports what you’re addressing about the poem.
Poet biography: After your summary, provide the background information on the poet. What from his/her life influenced his/her writing? How and why? How does the reader see this in the poem you chose? What other information does the reader need to know to about the poet to understand the poem and its meaning? (Don’t forget MLA in-text citations and a correct works cited page.)
In another paragraph, explain the poem’s relevance and what it has to offer a modern audience. Explain why you say this. Provide examples and explanations.
In as many paragraphs needed to address the content, reflect on the project itself and your process in completing it. What did you take away from this experience and do you have a greater appreciation and/or understanding of the:
Era in which it was written?
The poet and why he/she wrote it?
Why we still read it today?
How it links to the universal themes and characteristics that we’ve been studying all semester?
How the poem still has an impact on the world today (since it’s survived and we still read it)?
YOU CAN,T USE AI FOR ANYTHING I WILL GET A ZERO FOR PLAGARISM,AND MY SCHOOL WILL FAIL ME I NEED HELP WITH THIS BECAUSE I,M RUNNING LOW ON TIME MANAGEMENT AND I DON,T HAVE TIME TO WRITE THIS OUT, I WILL PAY YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE THANKS!

ASSIGNMENT: Write a character analysis. A character’s development generally has an important impact on a story’s major themes. Choose a key character (the story’s protagonist) or characters (the story’s protagonist and antagonist, etc.) in one of the following stories and discuss how the character’s development contributes to a major theme in that story. Completing this task requires that you are able to state succinctly the theme of the short story.
Write a 500 to 700-word analytical essay about one or more characters from one of the short stories listed below. You must include at least three direct quotations from the short story itself. You are not permitted to use other sources of information (i.e. web sites, articles, books, etc. about the short story). Doing so will result in a Code of Conduction violation. “Sonny’s Blues” by James Baldwin
“Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates
“The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin
“A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor
“A&P” by John Updike
“A Pair of Tickets” by Amy Tan
“Why I Live at the P.O.” by Eudora Welty
“A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner
“The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
ORGANIZATION: The introduction should identify the story under consideration, its author, the major theme in the story, and state specifically how the key character’s development addresses that theme. Body paragraphs should support your argument with specific references to the story, bolstered by relevant textual evidence and analysis of that evidence (use direct quotations, paraphrases, and summaries). Your conclusion should place your argument within a larger, meaningful context for your reader.
TIPS: Do re-read the short story closely and take notes as you read. Do not read about your selected story online. Don’t pollute your brain with other people’s thoughts about and interpretations of the story. Do not write about yourself or people in general; do write about theme. Do select one main point that your essay will make (your thesis). Do begin each body paragraph with a topic sentence and include adequate supporting details. Do discuss the classification of your selected character (flat, round, stock). Do discuss the characterization of your selected character (dynamic, static).
Do discuss epiphany (use “epiphanic moment” to refer to the moment of change).
Do discuss if direct or indirect presentation is used. Do discuss the following 3 principles of characterization: Characters are consistent in their behavior (in what way(s) is your character consistent?)
Characters are motivated (what motivates your selected character?)
Characters are plausible or lifelike (in what way(s) is your character lifelike?)
Do not write in first person; instead, use the third person. Do write about literature using the present tense. Do not make a point without supporting it from the text. Do quote text and do comment on the quotes and integrate them into your writing (don’t strand your quotes). Do proofread your essay both from top down and from bottom up. Do interpret the literature however you like, but, remember that you must support your thoughts with evidence from the story. Do support your interpretations with specific examples from the text. Do not summarize the plot. Do analyze the text.
Do provide a title that conveys the point of your argument. Do not plagiarize your work. The College considers any amount of plagiarism as a Code of Conduct violation. SOURCE MATERIAL: Your essay must properly cite the short story under consideration. Each body paragraph should contain at least one reference to the short story (paraphrase, summary, or quotation). You only need to use the primary source (the story); do not use outside sources. Correct source usage consists of two elements: (1) brief in-text citations for any idea or passage that is not your original idea; and (2) a properly formatted list of all Work(s) Cited at the end of the essay. MLA HELP: Refer to Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab (OWL) for instruction on creating in-text citations and a works cited page or use the presentations in Blackboard. https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_formatting_and_style_guide.html
FORMAT: The essay must conform to MLA standards: double-spaced, twelve-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins on all pages. Include a Works Cited page. Use in-text citations. Give your essay a title. The title of your essay must not be the title of the short story you analyzed. Example Work Cited Entry:

“Using one or two of the texts that we have read this semester, write a paper that responds to one of the following prompts, or that responds to a prompt of your own design (if designing your own, be sure to discuss it with me at least a week before the deadline). You may, alternatively, write in response to one of the prompts for the previous paper—though, obviously, not one you wrote on previously. If using one of those below, you need not respond to every aspect of the prompt: consider it an encouragement to wide thought before focusing in to begin your writing. Neither of your chosen texts should have featured in your previous paper, nor should you write on a topic closely related to those you have addressed previously. In your paper, focus particularly on articulating a strong, contestable claim in response to the prompt, or in response to a genuine question that you have about the text(s). As we have explored in the previous paper, a contestable claim means one that is not obvious, and that someone else might conceivably disagree with. In this paper, you will explore some actual examples of those conceivable disagreements by reading and engaging with other scholarly perspectives on your text(s), and using them to develop your own perspective. To be strong, your claim must be supported by a range of evidence within the text(s): develop your claim through close readings of at least five passages. Structure your paper around that central claim, making sure that each paragraph is adding an essential piece to your argument. You may wish to refer to our previous prompts for further reminders of how to go about doing this. If you choose to write on two texts, think carefully about how you will use them in your paper. Consider how and why your argument relies on your using both of these texts, rather than only one. The structure of the essay should go further than that of a “compare and contrast” paper: do consider, as you prepare to write the paper, what the similarities and differences between your texts are in terms of the topic you have chosen, but also consider what the implications of those similarities and differences are for the argument you will make. The structure of your paper should be directed by those implications. You may wish to treat only one text within a paragraph and then to move on to another paragraph about the other, or you might have two adjacent paragraphs that make different points about the same text, or you might treat two texts—as similar or different—within the same paragraph. And you might well do some combination of all of the above! In all cases, use individual paragraphs not only to identify something about one or both of the texts, but also to indicate how that affects your larger argument. You should also think carefully about how you will use your scholarly sources to shape your argument. There are several ways to show your engagement with these sources as you move through the paper. One or more might appear in your introduction, as important influences on how you have developed the argument in its entirety. Alternatively, your sources may appear along the way as you move through the paper, as more local influences on how you read specific passages. Depending on how central the sources are to your claim, you might also gesture to them in the topic sentences of your paragraphs: this might involve referring explicitly to them, or it might mean referring to insights they have helped to shape and whose relationship to those sources you have articulated earlier in the paper. In this case, you should indicate how your paragraph connects to those earlier insights while also taking them in a new direction. However your sources feature in your paper, always remember that you are not simply restating points that they make, but rather building on, disagreeing with, or otherwise distinguishing your own argument from those points even while you make clear their influence on your thinking. Make sure to mark and cite all quotations and paraphrases very precisely. For any sources that you consult, their words and ideas should always be fully acknowledged and properly cited using footnotes or parenthetical citations. Include full bibliographic information in a Works Cited list. ” Here are the two sources: ”
The Falls of Satan, Eve, and Adam in John Milton’s Paradise Lost: A Study in Insincerity”
and 
“Constructing Miltonic Interiority: Adam, Satan, and Conscience in Paradise Lost”
I have linked my draft below. My professor said that I should focus a lot more on Satan’s monolgue in book 4 of Paradise Lost, so i should use more text evidence from that book. They also said to change the order that I analyzed the characters: I did Satan, then Adam, then Eve. Bit should be Eve, then Adam, then Satan. Please use both sources, textual evidence from Paradise Lost (especially book 4) and any other changes that could make the paper stronger. Please make sure Turnitin won’t flag it either. Thank you!

Discuss the role of Mary Magdalene as a disciple of Jesus.  How is she special, or exceptional? Please be specific and please use brief citations in your argument.* *You will want to use John, too, for this one (John 20:1-18). Luke 8, too, and Matthew, and Mark (longer end). 

Please answer in the attached file, (THIS IS NOT A ESSAY)
PLEASE ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS WITH 6 SENTENCES

A. Directions
Step 1. Choose a Topic
Today, there are many different debates being had all around the world about topics that affect our personal, professional, civic, and/or academic lives. Some of these debates have been such hot topics for so long that it has become very difficult to add to the conversation with new and original ideas or stances to take. To move beyond this trend, we have created a list of topics that may not be written about for this Touchstone. This includes example topics that are used in Unit 4. Feel free to access a tutor if you would like support choosing a topic for this essay.
Please AVOID choosing any of the following topics:
Abortion Rights
Animal Testing (Unit 4 example)
Artificial Intelligence
Climate Change (Unit 4 example)
Belief in God(s) or Afterlife(s)
Death Penalty / Capital Punishment
Euthanasia / Assisted Suicide
Fad Diets (e.g., Keto, etc.)
Funding/Defunding Law Enforcement
Immigration
Legal Alcohol/Tobacco Age
Legalization of Marijuana
Legalization of Sex Work
Paying Student Athletes
Second Amendment Rights (i.e., Gun Control)
Social Media’s Impact on Mental Health
Universal Healthcare
Vaccines
Choosing to write about any of the above topics will result in a non-passing score.
Step 2. Write an Argumentative Essay
Remember the word “argument” does not mean a fight in a writing context. An academic argument is more like a thoughtful conversation between two people with differing viewpoints on a debatable issue. However, you are required to take a position on one side of a debatable issue that is informed by academically appropriate evidence.
For the purposes of this assignment, expressing or relying on your personal opinion of a debate is discouraged. Rather, the essay must argue one side or stance of the debate using the rhetorical appeals (logos, ethos, and pathos) and be supported by academic or scholarly sources. These include physical sources in public libraries, digital sources in academic libraries, online sources (excludes unreliable sources like procon.org and wikipedia.org, which are discouraged), and published expert reports, preferably peer-reviewed by experts in the field to maintain utmost credibility. Consider revisiting the tutorial Finding Sources for more information on appropriate sources for argumentative writing.

Assignment Description: Submit your final paper with the addition of the counterargument and conclusion paragraph, your revised intro paragraph and developed body paragraphs, and a references page with at least three sources.
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to complete your academic argumentative research paper.
Description: In this assignment, you will transition the outline you created in Unit IV into at least three body paragraphs. You will also write the paper’s counterargument and conclusion. The overall paper (not including the references page) should be around 1,300 to 1,500 words and must include at least three credible sources.
The paper should include all the following components (in order):
Title page
Introduction
Body paragraphs
Counterargument
Conclusion
References page
Introductory Paragraph:
Approximately six sentences
The intro paragraph serves to introduce the topic and the paper’s thesis statement.
Make the suggested revisions based on the feedback you received in Unit IV.
Body Paragraphs:
At least three paragraphs
Transition the outline of the body you produced in Unit IV to full paragraph form to support the paper’s thesis (revisit Unit VI lessons on transitions and cohesion).
Each body paragraph should address one of the justifications of the thesis statement’s position.
Counterargument:
Roughly six to seven sentences
Introduce an argument that opposes the argument made in the thesis statement and then refute it (revisit Unit VI lessons on introducing a counterargument).
Conclusion:
Roughly six sentences
Bring the paper to a close by emphasizing the importance of the issue and the controversy and answer the ‘so what?’ question.

While the term “research paper” is common, it doesn’t exist as a singular genre. That is, you may be asked to research and work with the resulting texts in a variety of ways across classes and careers. The projects will often look very different from each other in terms of purpose, audience, style, and organization.
With that in mind, I’m not asking you to make a particular type of “research paper” in our final project. Instead, I want you to practice with a variety of rhetorical tools; to develop and revise your writing to effectively represent your own perspectives; and to consider the needs and expectations of a specific & appropriate audience. Aim to make something that people would find useful or interesting. In short: you get to choose a genre that fits your purpose and audience, while allowing you to dive deeply into the topic.
