  • Interpreting Meaning in “Bloodchild” and “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” “Bloodchild” by Octavia E. Butler is a science fiction short story set on a distant planet where humans coexist with an alien

    Do not use any AI generators nor plagiarism
    1) Read and annotate “Bloodchild” by Octavia E. Butler and “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings: A Tale for Children” by Gabriel García Márquez.
    2) In a Word document, create a reading response.  First, summarize the plots with the stories’ central events, note the themes, and describe the tones. This should be done for both stories. 
    3) Then, underneath, write an analytical paragraph that shows two different ways to interpret the meaning of one of the stories assigned this week. Be ready to share these ideas in class. Can the story be looked as two different kinds of stories (just as Romeo and Juliet being considered either a tale of true love or a tale of how young love is foolish)?
    Word count: 300 words minimum, not including direct quotes or formatting text. Only your original writing counts toward the word count. Submissions that don’t meet the word count will lose points.

  • “The Impact of Technology on Nursing: A Research Narrative”

    Essay Requirements
    At least 2000 words, MLA format, 12 point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, double spaced, single sided, and include a Work Cited page.
    Assignment
    We have analyzed and explored many themes in our readings for this class including race, education, gender, technology, poverty, ethics, and the environment.  Keeping these themes in mind, I would like you to find a debatable issue within your own communities related to one of these topics and write about it; the idea of community can be interpreted broadly (high school community, the city you live in, an online community, family as community).  
    For this final essay, you will write a research narrative in which you will narrate your research experience using at least four outside sources (not including any of the readings out of 50 Essays).  The essay should read like a first-person narrative that address the following sequence:
    Explain what you know, assume, or imagine about the topic and why you selected to write about it. 
    Describe your process of finding and selecting sources.  Do not just list databases or search engines.  Make this section meaningful and helpful to someone that is a novice researcher possibly looking for helpful tips.  Include the dead-ends and stray paths you encountered on your research journey and how you dealt with these obstacles.    
    Lastly, write about what you discovered.  This should be the most significant part of your paper.  What answers did you arrive at?  What unanswered questions remain?  Has your thinking changed in any way?  This is where you share your findings. 
    Your thesis should address your topic, but does not necessarily have to be argumentative in a traditional sense.  I encourage you to find differing viewpoints in your research that challenge your assumptions.  You aren’t trying to win an argument or prove a point with this essay.  Instead, showing vulnerability and uncertainty is an inherent part of this project.  Your goal is to learn as much as you can about your topic of interest and share your findings.
    Research
    Four source minimum.  These can include interviews that you conduct or observations, but some of your sources should be from news articles (local/national/international depending on the scope of your topic), peer reviewed essays from the library databases, books, magazines, or informational videos like TED. 
    Successful essays will…
    use relevant and impactful outside sources
    have a thesis that helps guide the reader
    summarize the information and opinions you gathered from sources clearly, concisely, and accurately using proper MLA conventions 
    weave a compelling, organized, and thoughtful narrative
    have thoughtful analysis and conclusions that follow logically from your summary and evaluation of your sources, as well as your preliminary thinking before embarking on your research.
    (Have the topic be about technology in nursing and for nursing students)
