Novel Essay Final Draft
Students will write a 1 to 2 page (350 to 500 word) essay about a topic related to the novel you chose to read. This assignment is NOT a book report; you should not re-tell the story of the novel. Instead, you may focus on things like particular literary themes, specific uses of symbols, an analysis of a character’s personality and/or character growth, or how the setting reinforces the plot.
In this paper, you will need to prove a specific point about your chosen topic and then use details from the novel to support your claims. Depending on your topic, you may not need to use sources other than the novel itself. All source citations should use MLA 8th edition formatting. Additionally, be sure to use both parenthetical and in-text citations and a works cited page for sources. Use the OWL at Purdue site for help.

First, find, compare and contrast two readings online which discuss the impact on 9/11 on the United States (note: these should be credible sources not some weird blog conspiracy theory post).  Second answer the following question:
How does the written/reading compare to hearing Bush’s address to the Union after 9/11 (see external youtube links)? Does “hearing” Bush’s address change or alter how you feel about reading of these events? Does it compare or contrast to the only other slightly historical event– FDR’s speech, “A Day Which Will Live in Infamy”.  I am particularly interested in the use of language– what if any stood out? 
Lastly, how do these events impact your own understanding/experience of 9/11 and the word “evil” (the theme of our course).
As previous discussions, they will be graded:
4 points for content/length
4 points for grammar/coherency
2 points for responding to two classmates.

Argument Essay
Arguing is a part of life that cannot be avoided. Babies’ first cries are arguments to “feed me,” “change my diaper,” “stop ignoring me,” “I need you to pay attention to me now—or else,” and “love me.” As we mature, our arguments become more nuanced and essential to how we see ourselves in the world and how others perceive our place in the world.
In most arguments, participants are overly concerned with winning, proving someone else wrong, or being the supreme “right” authority on an issue; these aspirations are futile. Where social arguments can become heated and dismissive, the arguments you will write in college will expect you to extend your audience, focus, purpose, thought, and intent. College course work looks at argument as a conversation to be entered, heard, and considered—not won, proven, dismissed, or devalued.
Role/Writer’s Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to prepare a convincing and concise argument for a newspaper or magazine opinion piece. This should be in reaction to something you have read, seen, or experienced—or—as Trish Hall, the former Op-Ed and Sunday Review editor of The New York Times has written, “Anything can be an Op-Ed.” Personal or explanatory essays, commentary on news events, reflections on cultural trends and more are all welcome…” in the Times.
Topic Choices
For this assignment, the writer must argue a position on a relevant topic. Like Hall, all topics are welcome unless they appear on the banned topics list, are overused, or border on ridiculousness. The idea of banning some topics is not to silence the writer, but to provoke thought beyond the “same-old, same-old” topics that say nothing—and avoid—the topic people think they are supposed to talk about.
Choose a topic that you genuinely would like to find out something new and come to a greater understanding of your topic. You should not choose a topic where the information is commonly known.
Again, this topic is your choice except for topics from the “Banned” Topics List. Instead, challenge yourself to independently learn something. Please review the “Banned” Topics List in this assignment or in the course shell.

Do further research on sirens and describe how they work in the book Beloved. Which character could be described as the siren?  (might consider the point that Sophia Kingshill makes about how the mermaid has served as a symbol of dangerous seduction, an alluring female monster who leads men to their death.)  There must be 5 sources used in this essay. 2 essays from the following authors in your Monsters textbook: Clover, Backstein, Hollinger, Cohen, Kingshill, and Fuller. ***You may use others, but you must use at least two of these.
3 researched articles: You must research and find 2 credible researched source(s), such as scholarly articles, substantive news articles, books or chapters from books, or other well-respected pieces of nonfiction or literature. (Reviews and substandard sources like Wikipedia, quotation lists, etc., are not acceptable)
One of your researched articles must be a scholarly journal article (not a review).  You can use quotes from the book Beloved (By Toni Morrison) But it’s not required. If you don’t have that book or the Monsters book I can provide you with online copies.
