Background
While reading part 2 of Alone Together, we discussed Turkle’s concerns for our society and interpersonal relationships as we rapidly adapt to new types of technology. In this essay, you will be connecting these concerns to the realities of our modern life.
Assignment
In a 6-8 page (approximately 1,500 to 2,000 word) essay, examine a concrete researchable topic related to how people use and/or feel about technology, finding what academics have to say about this topic and explaining how what you find relates back to Turkle’s work and why it should be of significance to us.
Criteria for Success
An effective essay will:
Consult a minimum of six and no more than ten outside sources. Please use quality popular and academic sources such as reliable web sites (i.e. apa.org, the website for the American Psychological Association), books, government research studies, articles from journals, magazines, newspapers, or other periodicals. You will also need to cite Alone Together, but this will not be one of the outside sources. This essay must have a works cited page and in text citations that follow MLA format. Any paper that does not contain citations will automatically be a NP (No Pass). You must use parenthetical citations and a works cited page rather than footnotes.
Avoid unreliable and unverifiable sources such as partisan or one-sided websites, blogs, and obviously biased advocacy publications.
Include quotes and paraphrases from your outside sources, synthesizing information by using more than one source to support your point in body paragraphs and explaining how those sources relate to your thesis statement.
Organize your body paragraphs using TEA, making sure to the answer the questions “so what?” and “why is this important?” at the end of body paragraphs while also linking back to the thesis statement.
Develop your own conclusions about the evidence you find during your research.
Avoid logical fallacies and unsubstantiated claims by paying careful attention to the structure and logic of your argument.

Social media doesn’t always have a positive effect on others; it often limits social connection, contributes to anxiety and depression, and spreads misinformation.

You have chosen or been assigned a particular text to analyze. Using the critical reading skills practiced in class, you must formulate a thesis statement that presents a unique and specific interpretation of the text, and you must defend that interpretation throughout your paper.
In order analyze effectively, you will need to engage in close reading, or reading “between the lines.” This means that you will be choosing representative passages and carefully deconstructing them, highlighting connotations that may not be immediately obvious to fellow readers. Each new close reading should further convince your reader that your overall interpretation of the text (the thesis statement) is valid.
Your paper must include the following:
An introduction that provides relevant background information and ends with your thesis statement
A minimum of four body paragraphs, each of which addresses a particular subtopic that relates to your thesis statement
A minimum of three references from reliable, academic sources, all of which are cited at least once in the paper
A conclusion that reaffirms your thesis statement and addresses wider implications
Formatting, citations, and references must all adhere to APA style
Page length – approximately 3-5 pages, not including title and reference pages

Assignment Prompt: Research Outline
Assignment Prompt: Research Outline
Overview
The research outline serves as a stepping-stone between the planning and drafting phases of writing. This assignment gives you a chance to frame your future project, and put Toumlin’s method of argument into action, without having to make every element of the essay concrete. The research outline allows you to more proactively plan for a strong and solid essay, but also gives you the flexibility to change any elements that might require revision, before they are fully formed. Expectations
By providing a blueprint for your future essay, the research outline helps you to:
Build an organizational strategy for your essay
Reinforce connections between the central claim, reasons, warrants, counter argument, and evidence
Determine what elements of the essay may require revision
Make structural, content, and organizational changes, in a manageable format RequirementsLength/Development: The outline must be written in complete sentences. *There is a 300 word-minimum requirement for this assignment. If the word-minimum is not met, your assignment may be returned with no grade and a resubmission will be required. Organization:
The outline must include: a central claim, three reasons, warrants, and paired evidence. The outline should also include at least one counterargument and one rebuttal. Without all of these components included, your work may be returned with no grade and a resubmission will be required.
*You can add more categories, as you need them (but never less). For example, you may have 4 reasons, warrants, and supportive data for your claim, rather than the minimum of 3.

Authors message: deception affects when one falls in love and when one realizes reality. Gatsby is unable to forget the past (the past is the past we must move forward)
How does one truly know they have fallen in love? What does falling in love even feel like? According to Oxford Language, love is when one feels a deep affection towards a person that is filled with great intensity. The only problem is where is the line drawn between love and obsession? How does one distinguish between the feeling of affection from those of infatuation? A perfect example of someone who can not distinguish that imaginary thin line is James Gatz, famously known as Gatsby. He believes that he has truly fallen in love with Daisy Fay since the day they first met. Gatsby has had his fair share of ‘relationships’ before, but to him Daisy is special, more than all of his previous encounters. When Gatsby discovers Daisy has married someone else, he can’t seem to let go of the past and move forward which is seen through the use of symbolism by Fitzgerald when stating “[Gatsby] was running down like an overwound clock” (92) expressing Gatsby’s botched attempt to rewind time back to that moment Gatsby and Daisy shared together. Though despite all rational thoughts, Gatsby truly believes he can make it happen, he can go back to that moment five years ago and have Daisy not just fall in love with him again but to spend a life with him. For him knowing she loves him isn’t enough. James Gatz was a bit of a player, he was popular amongst the female population. What we understand from the novel, Daisy had not engaged in sexual relations before meeting James Gatz. As he was getting ready to deploy off to war they spent a lot of time together and grew close forming a bond. This mutual affection resulted in a moment in which Daisy gave him her flower. He was left with this memory to cherish for about 5 years while away at war, something that may have helped during times of sadness and despair. This is where Gatsby’s love transforms into an obsession, it becomes the only thought that can get him through each grim day.
Gatsby was crazy, acting like a girl with a crush. Planning what to say, and what Daisy would say. Planning ways to bump into her. Gatsby has passed love and it has turned into an obsession, and will not let go of the way it was before the war. Gatsby can not find true love because he thinks there is no one besides Daisy and doesn’t want to give up the fantasy of them together. He even worked hard to become wealthy just to have her and can not accept the realization that this was in the past and never will be now in the present or in the future.
When Gatsby bought his house after asking Nick to have a tea party. It was a strange coincidence but not at all, “‘Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay’”(78).
“He was running down like an overwound clock”(92).
Symbolic meaning of the green light (93)
“No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart”(96).
“That voice was a deathless song”(96).
“…an outlet for [Gatsby’s] imagination; they were a satisfactory hint of the unreality of reality, a promise that the rock of the world was founded securely on a fairy’s wing”(99).
“‘I feel far away from her’… ‘it’s hard to make her understand’”(109).
“He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she could go to Tom and say: ‘I never loved you’”(109)-132
“‘Can’t repeat the past?’…. ‘Why of course you can!’”(110)
Flashback on page 110-111
130-131 Obsession description from Gatsby and Tom’s realization that Gatsby and Daisy were not fooling around
132 He asks Daisy again to tell Tom she doesn’t love him.
“He spoke as if Daisy’s reaction was all that mattered. (143)
Gatsby was going to take the blame for running over Myrtle to prove his ‘love’ to her.
First nice girl he had ever known. It increased her value in his eyes. Took her because he had no real right to touch her hand. (148-149)
“Getting deeper in love every minute” (150).
“-and love me more even then”(152).
