In Hamlet, everyone dies. Hamlet accidentally kills Ophelia’s father, Polonius. He then kills Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Ophelia goes insane and commits suicide. Hamlet and Laertes have a sword fight and are wounded with Laertes’s poisoned blade. Gertrude drinks poisoned wine, which Claudius intended for Hamlet. Hamlet stabs Claudius with the poisoned sword and forces him to drink the rest of the poisoned wine. Hamlet and Laertes, each mortally wounded by the poison, exchange forgiveness and die. Can you make it a presentation of the work? Make sure you include a thesis statement, main talking points, and conclusion. Make it 10 slides with pictures, if possible, to support.

This week, you will choose a topic for your argumentative essay that you will be working on throughout this term.
First, please review the instructions for the ENGL 140 Signature Assignment. In your argumentative essay, you will make an argument and try to get your audience to agree with the argument you are making. As such, you want to choose a controversial topic that has social, political, or cultural relevance, or you may choose a controversy from your field of study.
Once you have chosen your topic, you must take a stand and decide which side you want to argue.
Tips for choosing a topic:
Is your chosen topic of current interest?
Is your topic stance one that others might disagree with or debate?
Can you write about the topic without offending those who might disagree with you?
What audience do you want to address, and why do you want to convince them to agree with you?
Will there be relevant outside information on this topic that you can include in your essay?
For this discussion, you will present your chosen topic to your peers and instructor for feedback. After seeing their feedback, you may decide to change your mind on your chosen topic. In your initial post, please answer the following questions:
What broad topic are you considering?
What is the controversy related to that topic?
What argument will you make (i.e., which side will you take)?
What are some of the subtopics you might address in a paper about this topic? (Do some brainstorming to come up with these.)
Why did you choose this topic?

Perhaps some of the highest stakes documents you’ll create in your professional career will be job application materials. This assignment will give you to opportunity to refine and develop any materials you might already have and practice tailoring those materials to a specific employer and job posting.
Conduct a job search for openings and find a job you could reasonably see yourself applying to, either now or after you have earned your degree. Feel free to use the job posting you found for this week’s discussion and the research you conducted into the organization. Or choose a new job posting.

Considering the over-arching theme of didactic purpose in literature, choose a feature and compare The Epic of Gilgamesh to Homer’s The Iliad. Thoughts to consider: Which epic provides a more valuable lesson? Perhaps a character is most valuable? Theme? Style? Any of these aspects might help you make an argument.

Short Story for the research paper is Hills Are Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemmingway 
“Five credible critical sources are required for the research paper, and the short story/poem/play you are analyzing does not count as one of them. Thus, you should have six sources listed on your works cited page.
Like the previous essays, the research paper should be thesis driven, meaning you should assert in the first paragraph what aspect of the work or theme you will be exploring. What is the work about, or what does it say to you? Identifying the theme of the short story/poem/drama you are writing about is your thesis, which should appear in your introductory paragraph.
In the body of the paper, make specific references to the text by either quoting or paraphrasing it, and also try to include your five critical sources enough but not overuse them. Make it a goal to cite each critic at least twice within your paper (parenthetical citation)
You must write the paper on one of the works we are reading during the course, and you may not write on the same work you used for a previous paper.
Very important:  Use the databases available, such as MLA, JSTOR, and Literature Resource Center. Remember that I asked for credible sources, so be sure that your source is a respected critic.
Also, your essays must be literary criticisms on a literary text, not history papers or biographical papers.”

After you’ve submitted your rhetorical analysis paper, write a couple paragraphs reflecting on the paper and your writing process. What parts of your paper are you proud of? What parts of your paper are you unsure of? What challenges did you experience while writing the paper? What steps could you take to overcome these challenges in future assignments?
Your reflection should be a minimum of 200 words.
