Proposal Argument 1 is a research-bas

Assignment Directions: Proposal Argument 1
Proposal Argument 1 is a research-based proposal argument that convinces readers to take action to solve a problem or address an issue in the student’s academic/professional field. The proposal must specifically impact the student’s academic/professional field.
Basic requirements:
Point value: 125 pts
Length requirement: 5–7 pages (excluding cover page, abstract, and references)

Description:
Proposal Argument 1 is our chance to solve a problem (or at least start thinking about a solution!) We will write a proposal argument that explains the importance of solving a problem or addressing an issue related to our academic/professional field. We follow the basic outline of an argument: introduction, background, lines of argument, alternative arguments, and conclusion. In the second paragraph, we must explain our personal connection to the issue. We are encouraged to use the first person singular (“I/me”) throughout.
Purpose:
The paper presents our proposal for reasonable, measurable change that needs to take place in a specific academic/professional field. The thesis will propose a specific solution, and we will support the thesis with credible evidence throughout the paper.
Research requirement:
Five sources minimum. At least four scholarly sources must be obtained via the library databases and other credible search engines like Google Scholar; at least one credible/relevant primary source (interview, survey, etc.) For more information on conducting primary research, please see Chapter 17 in Faigley (“Exploring in the Field”). Please be aware of avoiding confirmation bias before beginning research as the solution(s) to the problem may evolve through research.

Key performance criteria:
We meet the basic assignment requirements.

Essay #1:
The Justin Hicks School of Philosophy
Purpose: Philosophers grapple with a recurring question: “What does it mean to live a good life?” Throughout The Midnight Library, you were exposed to several different philosophical schools of thought that each offered a different answer. They gave Nora a framework for understanding what was happening to her, which she then combined with her experiences to craft her personal philosophy. Now, it is your turn. Like Nora (and every other philosopher), you will engage with existing schools of philosophical thought and combine them with your own ideas and experiences to create your own Philosophy.
Skills: The purpose of this assignment is to help you practice the following skills that are essential to your success in this and future college courses:
Analysis of Ideas
Synthesis of Ideas
Source Incorporation
MLA Citation and Paper Formatting
Task: You will write a multi-paragraph essay response to the question of what it means to live a good life by discussing at least two different philosophical viewpoints presented in The Midnight Library.
One of these can be from Nora’s viewpoint, but at least one must be from another philosopher discussed in the book.
You will then agree or disagree with these viewpoints based on your own experiences and analysis of examples provided by the book.
The end product will be your philosophy of life.
Criteria for Success:
●      Your thesis statement will directly answer the question: what does it mean to live a good life?
●      You will then elaborate on your thesis statement with a combination of support from the book and personal examples from your own life.
●      Your response must include at least two textual examples from The Midnight Library. At least one must be a direct quote. You may reuse the examples and writing you produced for your ICE assignments. Do not use any sources other than The Midnight Library.
●      All textual examples included in the essay must follow the ICE method of source incorporation: Introduce, Cite, Explain.
●      You must use MLA (9th edition) Citation format for all textual examples, both in-text and works cited.
You may only use The Midnight Library as your source of information.
●      Word Count— 500-750 words
●      Point of View— You may use 1st person in this assignment, but no 2nd person “you.”
●      MLA Paper format is required. Follow the example provided on page 358 of your Bedford Handbook.
●      Your title should be The [insert your last name here] School of Philosophy (for example, if your last name is Jenkins, your title would be The Jenkins School of Philosophy).
●      Any use of generative AI for this response will result in a grade of zero.

In a five to seven page essay compare two literature texts, one that we have dis

In a five to seven page essay compare two literature texts, one that we have discussed in class and one you will find on your own. The aspects of literature we are focusing on are short stories, poetry,  and drama  (theatre). For example you must choose two short stories, two poems or two plays. The purpose of this essay is to critically analyze what makes that aspect of literature texts significant. Once you have chosen the two texts, think about how to develop your ideas into an argument (your “thesis,” the “main idea”).  You may use our class discussions, discussion questions on blackboard, and home assignments to help you generate ideas on how to address your essay.
For example a short story is a prose work of fiction, differing from a novel by being shorter and less elaborate” (OED.com). In the short story  “Salute to the Flag” by Frank Yerby it deals with systemic racism and the abandonment of hope through the point of view of an unnamed narrator.  and systemic racism, however, we cover “Salute to the Flag” and not the short story by W.E.B. DuBois “The Comet.” DuBois’ short story deals with a black man and white woman who believe they are the last two people to survive an apocalyptic event. Both are short stories, however, while we can say “Salute to the Flag” is historical fiction, DuBois’ story “The Comet” can be considered science fiction or black speculative fiction. 
In comparing these two texts include the following:
Define the genre
Discuss and summarize the plot from each story
Character analysis – what are the main characters’ motivations
The background/culture of the author 
What are the shared themes, what do these narratives have in common? In both “Salute to the Flag” and “The Comet” the story is told from the point of view of the protagonist. There is no all-seeing narrator.
How are they different? For example “Salute to the Flag” is a story that needs to get to the point quickly and there is only one character speaking throughout. The no-named narrator mentions others but the narrative is completely controlled by him. In “The Comet”, other characters do speak, and you get different points of views.  
You are required to use viable outside sources to help you develop your analysis in comparing these two texts.
Proofread your essay.
Make sure you follow MLA standards for your essay.  This includes the works cited page.  I will take points off if this is not corrected since it may interfere with understanding your argument.
You must quote from and refer to the texts you use to support your main idea.
Label your essay, and write the date it is due.
It must be typed and double spaced with the standard size font of 12-point Times New Roman 
Your margins should be 1 inch around each page
Plagiarism—presenting the writing of others as your own or using another person’s words or ideas without giving them credit—is a serious academic offense and may result in failure of this essay.
Remember you are not to use wikipedia as a source on your works cited page.  For your essay you will be required to have a works cited page.  Check with the example on PurdueOwl that is on Blackboard the correct format of your essay and the works cited page.
