Isaac’s Storm Monograph Analysis
In a well-written and thoughtful essay, answer the following six questions concerning the monograph, Isaac’s Storm, by Erik Larson.
To do well on this essay you must fully answer all of the questions in an essay form. Please do not simply write the question’s number and the answer. Make it an essay.
Important: you must cite specific information in the book that corresponds to your points. A simple parenthesis with a page number is fine for citation, e.g. (175).
Finally, the only material you can reference is the book itself. Please do not use outside sources or summaries. That would do more harm than good since it would be plagiarism. Plagiarism is bad- as in failing the entire class bad.
Questions to answer:
Why did Larson write this book? What was the main point he was trying to get across? Was he effective in convincing you about his point? There is more to this book than simply telling the story of the Galveston hurricane.
Besides Mother Nature, of course, who or what do you think was most at fault for the tragedy in Galveston? Was such a large loss of life preventable? How do the ideas of the late Gilded Age and the “certainty” of technology play into the disaster? Give specific examples from the book with citation..
Which story or vignette (short account or story) of the hurricane did you find most intriguing, engaging, or perhaps terrifying? Explain what happened with citation. Why did Joseph and Isaac become estranged after the storm? Back this up with details from the book.
Besides just being a history of a tragedy, what can be learned from Isaac’s Storm? Is there a lesson or at least a warning in the book? Back this up with example and citation.
Finally, in a concluding paragraph, briefly write what you thought of the book. Did you like or dislike it? What worked and what did not? Be honest here. I like to get feedback to decide if I will continue to use the book in the future.
Format and Grading:
There is no min or max page length. However, these are large questions. Most good essays will fall between 4 – 5 full pages.
Double-spaced
Only submit a .doc, .docx, or a .pdf
In-text citation (do not just give a Works Cited)
Just use the page number of the book for the in-text citation.
12pt Times New Roman, Calibri, or Arial
Much of your grade comes from how well you use specific examples in the book. You really need to show throughout the essay that you read and understood the book.
Make sure to fully answer all five questions.
The essay, by itself, is worth 150 points. The remainder of your score comes from the points earned on your four monograph quizzes.

Can you include/integrate or use 4 primary sources that are from the following secondary sources into the paper:
[1] George Sanchez, Boyle Heights: How a Los Angeles neighborhood became the future of American Democracy (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2021)
[2] An Minian, Undocumented Lives: The Hidden History of Mexican Migration (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2017)
[3] Renee Tajima-Peña and Virginia Espino, No más bebes (DC: Latino Public Broadcasting, 2015)
[4] PBS, Latin Music USA (DC: Latino Public Broadcasting)
This was the prompt of the paper: Why is Boyle Heights a neighborhood that represents the future of American democracy? Using the experience of Boyle Heights residents with repatriation, internment, WWII, urban renewal, highway construction, the 1965 Immigration Act and deindustrialization in Los Angeles, explain the why of the different ways people in this working-class neighborhood responded to these complicated challenges. You must use Chicago.
The best analyses will use primary sources and rely on the analysis by assigned peer-reviewed sources that discuss the connections between ethnic Mexican lives, U.S. institutions and U.S. cultures to make points and generalizations about the time-period and conditions of people’s lives. Using these scholarly sources, mining them for primary sources, you will address change in Mexican/American lives, conditions and outlooks between World War II and the present. You must cite at least four primary sources AND two peer-reviewed secondary sources.
The paper must use two key events or decades, choosing a key flashpoint or catalyst for change. (World War II, the Cold War, The Great Society, the seventies, the Reagan Era, The Clinton era, & The Bush era)
Make sure to use subscriipts and cite the 4 primary sources in the bibliography. If you need access to any of the sources let me know. I would rather not share my university info to access the sources, but I you need them to find the primary sources let me know.

Answer one question from each list.  For each question, write a thoughtful essay of three to four pages (typed and double-spaced).  A successful essay will contain a clear thesis statement and make effective use of the assigned primary sources as evidence, showing awareness of both change and continuity in historical developments.  Be sure to cite your sources.

How did Judaism in ancient Rome survive as a culture and a religion? This will require thought on your part not just regurgitating what you read. If you and many other Americans were in captivity in Russia, what would you to do maintain yourselves as a cohesive culture? • Judaism has a long history of contact with the Roman empire. At times certain Roman leaders or occasionally the Senate favored the Jews, at other times the Jews were persecuted. In general Jews in Judea were not good about accepting Roman rule. Eventually, after the Bar-Kochba revolt (132-135 CE), the emperor Hadrian destroyed the temple and exiled most remaining Jews. It is these Jews, the exiled Jews living in Rome, Ostia, and Portus on which you will write a paper— not Jews in Judea .
if possible! please don’t use naked quotes, and I would prefer a formal tone.

In his Afterword to The Global Age, Ian Kershaw weighs in on many trends that were contemporary to Europe at the time of the book’s composition in 2017. These range from positive developments such as the end of police states, poverty reduction, and relative peace within Europe to the destabilizing forces of turbo-capitalism, the spread of computer-driven automation and mass migration to other challenges such as an unrealized European identity and the related trend toward nationalism and rise of the far-right and global warming in an energy-hungry world. He concludes with the following reflection:
What will happen in the decades to come is impossible to know. The only certainty is uncertainty. Insecurity will remain a hallmark of the Global Age. Europe’s ups and downs, shaped in its recent history in good measure by events outside the continent, are sure to continue.
Now that we are nearing the close of the semester and have already past into a new decade since the conclusion of his study, it is time for you to weigh in. 
The final assignment asks you to write a new Afterword, weighing in on what has happened in Europe over seven years since The Global Age was published.  Do Kershaw’s conclusions still hold up? What unanticipated has happened since now and then?  What do you see as the path of Europe, however you define it, since 2017 and what might that tell us about its future course over the next decade?
A good Afterword will:
Trace at least three themes in Europe’s experience of the last seven years
Incorporating and quoting a wide range (at least five) of contemporary sources including journals, periodicals, newspapers, reputable blogs, and other written or recorded sources
While showing a good understanding not only of Kershaw’s original Afterword, but also other key relevant themes in the book. (This is a history class! Trace the historical roots of contemporary issues at least a few decades back.)
It will also run at least 700 words.
All papers must include a title, the cleverer the better.
All quotes must be footnoted.  All sources used must also be included in a bibliography at the end. For more on format, consult the Chicago Manual of StyleLinks to an external site. and ask me if you need further clarification, especially on unconventional sources.
Feel free to use the sources you used for your Ukraine War essay as a starting point. However, this cannot only be about that war.
Use European sources for this!  Good sites to consult include EuropeNowLinks to an external site., EurozineLinks to an external site., European newspapers (Der Spiegel English, Le Monde English, The Kyiv Independent, New Eastern Europe, BBC, The Guardian, The Independent, Financial Times, Die Zeit English, many, many others.), various European history and contemporary European politics academic journals. Just be sure your sources are not tabloids, clickbait, or hyperpartisan drivel.

I have to write a 10 page paper about how the Nazis used propaganda. It can be about why they used certain symbols or how they represent women or anything they used for their propaganda. My teacher said I should use 3 sources but use those in detail. I can use more than that but 3 sources I should use more than once in the essay. Those are our instructions:          One 10-12 pp final research paper on a topic chosen by the student. This essay will require each student to articulate an historical question or thesis, and to use both primary and secondary sources to discuss that choice. This project will be undertaken in stages, including discussion of sources, an abstract and a rough draft. Sources can include, but should not be limited, to those available in our course.  The sources should include primary sources like a propaganda poster
