This is an analytical essay about the book “Oryx and Crake” by Margaret Atwood. It is to be written in MLA format with proper citation. Attached is a photo with 7 questions/topics to write the essay about. There is no preference to which one is chosen to be written about.
Also attached is a google slideshow about “Breaking the 5-paragraph essay”. I thought I’d include it if it would help better understand the shape of the essay I’d like. 

Read the attached short poem “Just So You Know,” by Stacey Donovan. Imagine that you lived in the town described in the poem. What would your name tag say and how would it make your life easier if others understood that about you? See attachment 

Compose an argumentative essay (500-word minimum) based on one of the topics below. You may use one of the modes of writing that you have learned in Composition 1 to write your essay, but remember that you will make an argument. Therefore, your essay must have a claim and support for the claim. In addition, your introduction should have a strong hook.
Choose one topic.
Topics:
Is the USA (or Alabama or Montgomery River Region) a racist country (or state or region)?
Has Dr. Martin Luther King’s “dream” that people would be judged by their character been realized?
Did President Obama’s presidency move race relations forward or backward?
Is falsely accusing someone of racism an act of aggression, libel, or slander?
Is there a problem with racism at your school or university?
Can a minority community (African-American, Native American, Hispanic, etc.) be racist?
Is the Confederate flag a hate symbol?
Are assertions of “white privilege” a form of hatred, racism, bigotry, etc.?
Has the charge of “racist” been overused or abused? Has the “race card” been over-played?
Has the church, as a whole, “wised up” to racial prejudice?
Are US citizens mistreating the “aliens” among us?
Are minorities still at a disadvantage in business, in college, etc.?
Are we obsessed or overly concerned with race issues in business, in education, etc.?
Is encouraging a young child to be “gender-neutral” or “gender-fluid” a form of child abuse?
Should schools allow students to wear clothing with political points of view (e.g., MAGA hat)?
What do students at your school or university have to do in order to “fit in” or “belong”?
Is our culture forcing children to grow up too soon?
Are tattoos an appropriate form of self-expression?
What advice should parents give teens about tattoos, piercings, large piercings, or other
potentially disfiguring forms of self-expression?
Is vaping/juling a harmless, cool, or adult thing to do or a dangerous, foolish thing to do for a
person of any age?
Are people on the East and West coasts bigoted toward southerners or others in “fly over country”?
Is America still “the land of the free and the home of the brave”?
Has America become a dystopian society?
Millennials are sometimes ridiculed as “snowflakes.” Is that label fair or unwarranted?
What characteristics should a “real” or “true” Christian possess?
Is identity politics bringing people together or driving them apart?
Other topics to consider: wearing immodest clothing, engaging in risky/illegal behavior, compromising
values, etc. to belong, to draw attention to oneself, to impress someone else, to attract or keep a
boyfriend or girlfriend, to change others’ opinions, to create a new identity or reputation, etc.

New venture opportunity and SWOT analysis paper
This week we will study the SWOT analysis in detail. This week’s paper is required to be approximately 4 -6 pages in length, not including the title page and the reference page. No paper should be fewer than 1400 words. Double space your work, cite your sources, limit quotes, and edit your work well! Your work will automatically be reviewed by Turnitin upon submission. You will be able to see your similarity report within 20 minutes after your submission. Resubmits are not permitted. Please make sure you cite your work properly and avoid direct quotes.
For this assignment you will invent a new business venture. This is a new start – up venture, not an existing one or one that is expanding. Do not use a business created in a previous class. You may not use papers (or any part of a paper) submitted in another class. Make up the business, the location, the client base, and the product or service. Do not use any real company. You may review a real company’s website for ideas, but the basis of this paper should be your own ideas. Your opening sentence should begin with something like this: “The new business venture that I will evaluate is ……………..” Expect that your business will be opened in the coming years, not one that opened 10 years ago. Your introduction should include a description of your company and any details that are important to the reader. The description of your company should be a couple paragraphs with a summary of the business. The other details can be discussed when you are reviewing each of the SWOT elements. The final goal of this paper is to prepare a SWOT analysis of your new venture company. Make sure you have at least two other sources (other than the text) to supplement your work.

After developing your new venture and describing it thoroughly in the beginning of your paper, provide a thorough SWOT analysis. Make sure you have included the actual SWOT analysis quad chart (embedded within your paper) listing the strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities. You can use your own chart, but your paper should include a simple SWOT chart with the four segments. Then, you must discuss each segment thoroughly and explain what you have learned from performing your analysis.  Include financial information as listed below.
So, your paper should include a title page and a reference page (no abstract is required):
1 – a description of your new venture (have a clear introduction)
2 – include a simple quad chart with the four basic quadrants embedded in your paper
3 – a thorough explanation of what you have learned from the analysis, further defining the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
4. be sure to include monetary information. You can’t evaluate a new start up for a beauty salon if you don’t include the costs to start up and an estimate of your monthly operating costs. How many hair cuts would you have to provide customers before you break even each month (of course you can estimate costs). For instance, you have to purchase equipment (dryers, chairs, etc) and you have to rent space (or buy space). What is the monthly rent or mortgage payment and how easily will that be earned each month. Include all other costs also (payroll, supplies, advertising, etc). Where will the start up money come from?  It may be effective to put these costs in a column with totals rather than paragraph format. 
5 – an evaluation – based on what you have learned, will you continue your business venture? Be sure to answer that question at the close of your paper.
Submit your paper into the assignment section of the classroom.
Font and Spacing – Use Times New Roman 12 point font with double-spaced lines.
Length – Write a 4 to 6 page essay not including the title page and citation page. Make sure you have at least 1400 words, not counting the title and reference page.
Reference Page – Include all sources including your textbook on a Reference page
Utilize the APA Style for documenting sources. You will need to include at least two sources in addition to your textbook. Finally, remember Wikipedia is NOT a scholarly source.
Punctuation, essay format (thesis, supporting paragraphs with transition and topic sentences, and summary) grammar and documentation count toward your grade.

According to the lesson content and the reading by Mae Ngai, how does the “illegality” of migrants get constructed, which migrants are often connected to this term, and what are the effects of this designation? After reading this lesson and the readings, what might you say to someone who uses the term “illegal alien” in a discussion about migration?
For each Daily Discussion, you will create one original post that includes a discussion question, and respond to one of your classmates’ posts/discussion questions with a response discussion post.
The original discussion post should be 450-600 words, and must include a discussion question about the readings or course content for that day. Keep in mind the best discussion questions will be:
Open-ended- Questions cannot be answered with yes/no or either/or
Answerable by classmates- Questions do not require extensive knowledge from outside the course, and can be answered using knowledge/experience versus speculation
Substantive and relevant- Questions should be related to a significant point/argument in the course lesson or readings assigned for the day, and should ask us to consider the point/argument in the context of the themes of this course.
In addition, you will craft a response post that replies in a substantive manner to a discussion question posed by one of your classmates. The post should be at least 150 words.

Hey, I need a essay written on the book ‘The Great Gatsby’ on one of the themes listen bellow. I will attach a file with all the intrusctions bellow. You can choose whichever theme you’d like for the essay. 

Some of our best (and most fun) stories, come from outsiders observing situations and then
telling us about those situations. Some examples might be: the only Muslim student in an-all
white high school in Indiana, a woman who is a vegetarian but whose family are ravenous meat
eaters, a football player who loves to read epic poetry before games, someone who believes
that Mickey Mouse is the devil and is forced to go to Disney World…the possibilities are nearly
bottomless.
To prepare for this essay, we have read a number of essays from an outsider’s perspective.
For this essay, I would like you to write about a time when you felt like an outsider to a cultural
tradition or practice, or about a time when you found yourself in a place or situation where you
felt you were in some way different from the people you were around, so felt like an outsider.
In your 500-word essay, set the scene for us by telling us specific details about this experience,
tell us what about this experience made you feel as if you were an outsider, tell us at least
three things you found strange about the experience or the people involved, and to conclude,
tell us what you learned about yourself from this experience.
