People have been known to act in extraordinary ways in order to survive. Write an informative essay that explains the lengths to which people will go in order to survive. Use examples from real life, books, movies, or television to support your essay.

The texts that you’re supposed to refer to for additional evidence are The Four Loves by C.S Lewis and The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm. I attached a few pictures of pages from each book because supposedly these are the only appropriate copies that can be used. Also, unfortunately, all the pictures of text I took of The Art of Loving are not syncing to Google Docs on my computer. The only sources I believe you will have to use and cite are the 2 books and the 
Beatles’ All You Need Is Love song. The other 3 songs from The Beatles’ were just thrown in to know what they are. You won’t use them I believe. Just the All You Need is Love song and the 2 books are the main reference points for this paper. thank you

Now that you’ve read about what Technical Writing is, it’s time to put those concepts to use by exploring and analyzing an increasingly common form of technical writing: Infographics. 
Infographics are visual representations of data, knowledge, or processes designed to make information easily understandable.  
Conduct a Google Image search for infographics related in some way to nursing or healthcare.  
Tip: Search the term “infographic” along with a literally any healthcare or nursing-related term you’re interested in. For example, try “infographic NCLEX,” “nursing infographic ER,” or “nursing infographic pain management.” 
Choose one infographic and analyze it against the characteristics for good technical writing in this week’s reading. Write up your analysis into a document and submit it via this page to complete the assignment.  
For easy reference, here again are the 6 characteristics from the reading:  
Focus on audience 
Rhetorical, persuasive, purposeful, and problem-oriented   
Professional   
Design Centered   
Research and Technology Oriented   
Ethical   
Your analysis should assess how well the infographic you’ve chosen achieves the characteristics above. If it falls short in any of these categories, explain why.  
Your document should:  
Include an image of the infographic you chose, along with a full APA reference. Here’s a page that tells you how to create a reference for an infographicLinks to an external site..  
Be 12pt, Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, double spaced.   
Be 3-4 paragraphs long (with a minimum of 3 sentences per paragraph).

Introduction and Conclusion Examples/Advice
Introduction:
Attention-getter: this needs to GRAB the reader’s attention. NO GENERIC STATEMENTS ALLOWED (ex: Americans can be defined in many ways)
Link: explain the importance of your attention-getter; why did you choose this particular AG to go into details on the American dream? You can’t do this part until you actually have an attention-getter.
Thesis: state the texts, authors, and trait OR strategy (if you have more than two titles, you could insert the titles into your topic sentences)
What are different ways you can make an effective attention-getter?
Quote from a different source – if you do this option, you MUST include an in-text citation (author’s name) and be able to find the source information to do a Works Cited page with that source (publication date, name of site, etc.)
Quoteland.com and The Quotations Page are good resources for this
Anecdote – a general, hypothetical story that lends itself to the topic of your paper (ex: writing a quick, 2-4 sentence story about someone who has been dealt a difficult time financially). This could be fictional or you could pull a true story for this (but you would need to cite the information if it is true because it would come from a source).
Definition
Detailed, descriptive or startling statement
Statistic (with in-text citation and, again, information to eventually write your Works Cited)
YOU SHOULD NOT WRITE A QUESTION FOR YOUR ATTENTION-GETTER.
Conclusion:
Restated thesis using different words
Link: analyze the ideas you have discussed throughout the essay and take it to the next level; what do all these points/claims show about the character of Americans? 
Impact statement: Link back to ideas in your attention-getter to bring it full-circle

1500-1750 word essay on a trend or phenomenon related to the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. the trend or phenomenon should have a definable set of causes and effects

This paper involves interviewing someone close to you, possibly a parent or a sibling.  From this, you will build a narrative paper. You will tell their story much the same as one might find in a feature story in New York Times supplement, or elsewhere.  Look for themes in their life. That often involves working to find out goals or dreams, which may be one and the same. The late Charles Kuralt, CBS reporter whom I once interviewed,  maintained that if one speaks long enough to someone, certain things will arise. 
Length: 3 pages (750-800 words)
Use superlative questions. Make a list of which 2/3’s should be superlative questions.
Best not read from list directly all the time during  the interview itself. Commit some to memory, and you may elect to draw from them, if and when, the subject of discussion relates.
Try not to dominate the interview. Make your questions brief and let the subject speak. The interview is not about you.
Do not avoid things you already know about the subject. Simply ask to repeat the story about such and such. This time you will be recording it on phone, or somehow, and you will get fresh and elevating details.
Look for a strong theme. Courage through struggle. Some big theme that might form the basis for your thesis statement.
If the subject has moved a lot, do not list all the towns. You might say, “Joe has lived everywhere from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Juneau, Alaska.”
Write in the third person.  Do not do a question-answer format. You will transcribe the interview that way, but then summarize from that in building your story.
Use three direct quotes from the interview. Make them short, though. No quarter page. Try for no more than two sentences per.
Include description of the person and environments, possibly.
If you could do the paper on my sister who is named Sara Flindt, she currently goes to Missoula trying to get her 4 year degree, she loves dance. 

1. locate the house
2.description of the house.
3.any structure outside of the house 
4.the house selling price
5.any benefit to be gained from buying the house

Essay 4: Putting it All Together (100 points)
This semester we have worked on the following writing skills:
Drafting enticing introductions
Drafting two-part thesis statements that include a clear focus and provide reasoning
Drafting summary paragraphs to explain what the experts say (“they say”)
Drafting response paragraphs that respond to the experts in one of three ways (“I say”)
Conducting research to help support the positions presented in the essay
Presenting the positions of those who oppose the views of the essay (planting a naysayer)
Drafting solid conclusions that tie the essay together
Citing all sources properly according to MLA style (both in text citation and works cited page format)
This paper allows you to put all that work together to showcase all you have learned about drafting college level essays. Including all of the bullet points above, please write an essay that answers the following question:
Many of the healers quoted in this book view health as movement and illness as blockage on either the physical, mental/emotional, or spiritual level. What do you think about this theory?
To answer this question, you will need to do a few things:
Take a position: clearly agree or disagree or partially agree with the theory
Conduct additional research about this topic. You may want to conduct more research into the concept of chi and its role in Chinese medicine.
In addition to using the Radical Remission text in the paper, include information from at least 2 additional resources that you find on your own. One resource must be from an academic database. The other can be an academic resource of your choice. In other words, you can choose two resources from an academic database or your can use one from the academic database and one from online.
This essay should be 6 pages (1500 words) not including the Works Cited page.
