Discussion #2 consists of 2 parts.
1) As we continue reading Rodriguez’s autobiography Hunger of Memory and identify evidence from the text to support a specific argument on the more significant influence of “advantage” or “adversity” on his “academic success,” in Discussion #2 we will want to consider the autobiography itself as a form of evidence. In what way, then, is the very production of Hunger of Memory evidence of Rodriguez’s “academic success?” In other words, how can the fact (of the text’s written production) help to support your argument on the main source of Rodriguez’s “academic success” – whether it is more the result of advantage or adversity?
2) It is also important that as we prepare the Persuasive Argument Essay we share both what our (1) argumentative position is as well as provide (2) cited evidence from the autobiography in support of this position. Therefore, what has turned-out to be your argumentative position on our Persuasive Argument Essay question: in Hunger of Memory, would you say that Richard Rodriguez’s “academic success” is portrayed more as the result of advantage or adversity? Cite at least 2 examples from the autobiography in support of your argument. (It is encouraged that you discuss 2 examples that you intend to discuss in your Persuasive Argument Essay.)

I will atttch my paper below. I need help editing and making it more complet. This is a very rough draft.  Atteched below is my paper and rubric for the assignment. 

Using the Tale of Two cities chapter ‘The Night Shadows’. explain how it develops one of the central themes in the novel. Explain how The Night Shadows is a microcosm for the larger novel. How does The Night Shadows shed light on what the text is saying? In what ways does it provide some critical contrast, crucial parallel, and/or essetial refinement that illuminates one of Dicken’s central themes?
– prioritize essential text in the chapter
– focus on language: imagery, word choice, tone, mood, irony, etc. 
– explain and analyze dense and difficult text
– connect all back to ‘The Night Shadows’ 
– articulate and/or clarify the relationship between the chapter and the themes of the novel
– organize analysis in a meaningful way; the topic sentence as a mini thesis that anchors the paragraph to a specific idea, and in concluding sentences of the paragraphs, pull together a main point that the reader needs to take with them to the next paragraph or section. 
– try analyzing a word or image from the quote. Explain how the word’s denotation and connotation reveal or reinforce the meaning of the passage. Explain how sensory details reveal or reinforce the point the quote illustrates. 
– try explaining the irony of a quotation. Disscuss both the literal level of the quotation, and its ironic implications. 
– in the introduction you should include: summary of the chapter (you could include this in the introduction, create a specific paragraph, or weave the summary throughout other body paragraphs). also including the chapters relationship to the other chapters. 
– you can explain forshadowing in the chapter too 
– in conclusion: reformulate your thesis, use the “so what” from the introduction paragraph if it still works, close by either returning to the idea you started with in your intro or make some new text/world connection, remind your reader of your main point, and demonstrate you were right about why it matters. 
For this specific essay, focus on the main two charaters in the chapter, Mr. Lorry and Jerry. 
Include ideas like: 
– In “The Night Shadows,” Charles Dickens employs mysterious imagery, motifs of barriers and death, and evocative symbols to explore the complex nature of secrecy and its dual impact on human experience. By delving into these elements, Dickens reveals how secrecy serves as both a shield and a prison, fostering a sense of safety while simultaneously leading to profound loneliness and potential violence. 
– also bring up the theme of resurection that shows up in the chapter. 
– include a comparitive analysis of jerry and mr. lorry for the last body paragraph. 
additionally, use a write in a poeticish way, but not to fancy. It should be clear with a little extra-charm to the writting of it. 

I need a rhetorical anyalis on Amy Tans’  ‘Mother Tongue’
double spaced. MLA format. 
Ive attached her article below so you can review it. I only need about 600 words. 

Abstracts are an academic genre of writing; they offer a summary of the argument that the author plans to make, usually in response to a specific CFP (Call for Papers). The purpose of this abstract is to do the following: 
Show the conference organizers that your talk fits the theme and scope of the conference. 
Lay out the argument you are intending to make. This means establishing the following
What text/texts (fandom) do you intend to discuss;
Your theoretical investment/approach; 
What, specially, you intend to argue about the texts—essentially, what ideas will you be exploring;  
Positioning your work in the field—this may include some name dropping of scholars and theorists. 
An abstract is a pitch to sell your ideas to the conference organizers, as you write yours, be mindful of the following: 
The word count: Do not exceed it, but you also don’t want to write too little either. A very short abstract might signal to conference organizers that you don’t have much to say about your topic. You want to keep your abstract specific, but concise. 
Write in present tense: Very often, scholars pitch papers that they haven’t written yet. Even if that is the case, write your abstracts as if the paper has already been written (“this presentation argues…” not “this presentation will argue…”) 
The CFP: It is always good if you can echo some of the language from the CFP in your proposal. You don’t want to plagiarize the CFP but pull out the key words from it that matches your approach best. This shows the organizers that your paper is a good fit.

Submissions for the 2024 FSNNA Conference
FSNNA warmly welcomes submissions from early career researchers, graduate students, and independent scholars, as well as established scholars. Likewise, contributions are welcomed from across disciplines and need not be limited to just fan studies: we are interested in work from media studies, the humanities, the social sciences, library science, and more.
In the interest of making our discussion as vibrant, inclusive, and interdisciplinary as possible, we’ve decided not to list specific topics this year. Instead, we encourage contributions that  consider all forms of fandom.
This may include specific media texts (e.g., film, television, print texts/series, games, video streaming, etc.), other fan-objects (e.g., sports, music, celebrity culture, etc.), specific national or regional contexts, theoretical approaches to studying fandom, investigations of fanwork genres or fan practices, and more.
The fandom I have chosen is the One Direction fandom!

Goal:
To decide upon a stable topic for the paper and to demonstrate the ability to move from topic to arguable thesis statement.
Description:
A topic proposal is a type of writing assignment that you will often be asked to complete during your college career. Professors may require a topic proposal before a large research paper or project, and the goal is create an opportunity for you to do all of the initial thought-work on a paper or project before sitting down to complete the project itself. A topic proposal, therefore, can be very helpful in making larger projects more manageable and less overwhelming. We will be completing a topic proposal for your argument essay so that you have an opportunity to receive feedback on your ideas and working thesis statement.
Requirements:
A topic proposal should detail your chosen topic, issue, or area of exploration, your central question, and your thesis. Your proposal should be 400-500 words and should answer the following questions thoroughly. It should be written in essay format, using appropriate MLA-style formatting, and should not be a list of answers.
What is your topic or issue?
What is the central question raised by that topic or issue that you plan to address in your paper?
What is your position on that question? This position statement will become your thesis statement.
How do you plan to support this thesis? What are the main points you will need to discuss as you explain and defend your position?
Why is important for readers to understand your position on this issue?

Give your own perspective on diversity. You will define diversity in your own terms and
explore how it has played a role in your own life. Please respond to the follow question in
a short argument-driven essay:
What does diversity mean to you? How does your personal background/experience
inform your understanding of diversity?
Complete this essay. There is no length
requirement, but make it as long as you think is appropriate in order to fully respond to
the prompt in this allotted timeframe.
Some quick tips:
• Do your ability to narrow your focus; your use of evidence and analysis to explain your points; and your organization and clarity.
