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.

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.

posted on your Content page under TEXTS FOR ESSAY 3. Focus on a literary aspect (see the “Short Story” Powerpoint presentation) of one or more of the stories and write an essay that expresses your ideas about what the author is trying to say from the work (or works). Then, to make your point really strong, you can pull quotes from the stories. themselves to “boost” your content. Remember that you will not give a PLOT SUMMARY; I have read the stories. Again, you will analyze some literary aspect of the story using those terms discussed in the Powerpoint. This essay has the minimum requirements that all essays have had this semester. It is to be a MINIMUM five-paragraph essay with at least 500 words. You must adequately punctuate quoted material from the texts and do a Works Cited page if you discuss more than one work; however, remember 95% of the essay will be in your own words and your own ideas about the theme of the texts. Again, do not do a PLOT summary (retelling of the story).
