Now we need to focus your ideas into an outline. 
Your essay should not summarize or retell the story. It should make an argument and
support it with sub-arguments in the topic sentences. 
You will probably need at least 2 quotations per paragraph
You might end up doing something like this in your outline, though I don’t know for sure–it depends on your topic:
1. Thesis
2. Text 1 Summary
3. Text 1 
quote 1
quote 2
4. Text 1
5.Text 1
6.Text 1
7. Text 2 Summary
8. Text 2

Make only one post. Your one post will have four separate parts– your thesis for your descriptive essay about a person or place in your memory. Then make a paraphrase, a summary and a direct quote of one journal or magazine article that interest you and relates to your thesis in MLA form. This article needs to relate to your thesis for your descriptive essay. Consult the RESOURCE Site for Documentation and Citation for proper form. Make sure you properly introduce the source in each instance with a signal phrase. Go HERELinks to an external site.:Links to an external site. for a good site on how to do these three types of citation. You may not use the same quote as someone else, so the earliest posts have the advantage.  Please label each type of citation.  Below is an example of each type of citation. Make yours look like this or you will not receive credit. If points are deducted it is because you did not imitate these models. Identify each step of the prompt like this, so I’ll know what you are trying to do:
Paraphase:  In the article called “10 Reasons why is Disney World really is so magical” by Cynthia Levy, she       talks about how it”d every child’s dream to go to Disney and she lists 10 reasons why.
Your thesis should not use second person language, should be a three-point thesis, and should be in this type of form:  There are three things I will always remember about my grandfather. Spell out three.
My grandmother had three special skills she taught her daughter.
If a place: I learned three important lessons when I visited the Great Wall of China.
Example of in-text citation: Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth 263).
Example of a paraphrase: James D. Lester suggests that in research papers students often quote excessively, failing to keep quoted material down to a desirable level. Since the problem usually originates during note taking, it is essential to minimize the material recorded verbatim (Lester 46-47). 
This site tells you specifically how to make a paraphrase without plagiarizing: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/563/02/Links to an external site.
Example of a summary:  According to the author of Writing Research papers, students should take just a few notes in direct quotation from sources to help minimize the amount of quoted material in a research paper (Lester 46-47).

Remove the hyperlink for any websites (showing in blue or red) in academic papers. You should only have plain text.  You can right click the link and choose. REMOVE HYPERLINK. Links that take the reader (me) elsewhere impede and slow down my reading and are no use to me. 
REMINDER: You must also post all three citations at the same time in the same post. Do not respond to any classmates in this forum. Each form of citation is worth 25 points each. Your thesis is worth 25 points. 

Write a response for the following (250 words minimum – one (1) page plus a Work Cited page):
Jonathon Gottschall, in “Why Fiction is Good for You,” ends on a humorous note: “most fiction, even the trashy stuff, appears to be in the public interest after all” (767). This raises a question worth considering: Do “trashy” romance novels, for example, have the same value as literature taught in college? How might the debate of good vs bad art complicate Gottschall’s argument? Use 2 in-text citations that are correctly formatted with parentheses at the end of the sentence.
Use MLA formatting (double-spaced, name block, unique title, page header, indented paragraphs). 250-word minimum (approximately one full page plus a Work Cited page).
Must include an introductory paragraph (with the title of the essay, the author, and a thesis statement), the body (must include in-text citation(s), and the conclusion.

This week we covered a lot of ground learning about political and economic change in Latin America during the 1945 to 2000 period, roughly speaking. For this 500-600 word 500-750 word paper, our goal will be to outline the processes of democratization and economic transition in a Latin American country of your choice. Essentially, tell their story about how the approach to governance and economic development changed over the 1945-2000 period. This is a very short paper, so you won’t be able to go into a whole lot of depth, but here’s what you need to do:
Choose a country in Latin America – Columbia Identify and describe the kind of political regime and economic development approach (e.g., ISI, agroexport economy) the country had the beginning of the post-WWII/Cold War period.
Describe changes in the political regime for the country in the 1945-2000 period.
Did this country’s political regime change over the the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s?
Did the country experience a democratic transition in the 1980s/1990s?
Explain and describe key events and shifts. Use tables and information from the PowerPoint and your book to help you. Describe changes to the country’s economic development approach in the 1945-2000 period.
Did the country change its economic development approach?
If so, what model did it adopt, when, and under what circumstances?
TIPS
I suggest making a timeline of changes. You do not have to talk about changes in government leadership, but rather we are looking for big shifts! If the country had a coup d’etat, for example, and changed from a democracy to a dictatorship or vice versa, that is a regime change. If the president changed via election, that is not regime change. Likewise for changes to the economic development model, we are looking for changes in the overall approach. Shifts from state-led to market-led approaches, for example, are what we are looking to document and describe.
You may need to do some additional research, depending on the country you choose and library is a great resource! Let me know if you need help finding information. I am happy to help you locate helpful sources in addition to your textbook.
Start your paper with an introduction that tells the reader exactly what your paper is about. Present your topic and then use language like “This paper will detail the major political and economic shifts in X country between 1945 and 2000.”
I am available to review rough drafts! You need to get it to me no later than midnight on Saturday to ensure I can get you feedback. I will review incomplete papers as well.
PAPER GUIDELINES:
The paper should be no less than 500 words and no more than 600 750 words. This is about 2-2.5 pages double-spaced.
Remember to cite your sources in the text of your paper using parenthetical citations. Include a citation at the end of each sentence that contains a fact that is not considered “common knowledge,” for ideas or theories of the author or another person cited in the source, statistical data, whenever you are paraphrasing a portion of text, or when you are quoting word-for-word.
Use CMOS Author-Date to correctly reference course materials in your paper. Check out the CMOS Author-Date Cheat Sheet to help you, which is available on the Modules page. Papers with no in-text citations will not be accepted. They will be returned to you for revision.
Diversify your sources! Using your book and other course materials effectively may get you a “Meets Expectations” grade. Papers that “Exceed Expectations” will have consulted a variety of sources to supplement the course materials, including at least one academic/scholarly source.
No online encyclopedias or similar sources (e.g., History.com, Britannica.com, etc.). If you use online encyclopedias, you will automatically receive a “Below Expectations” grade on the paper discussion.
I attached a file you can get sources from I please make sure no plagiarism occurs and no chat gpt also make sure to leave in text citations from the sources you used

In your speech presentation, you must be convincing.
You must have an introduction, middle and a conclusion.conduct research on your topic and reference at least 2 sources.

1.) Judgment
2.) Hierarchy
3.) Culture

-examples, details, two in-text citations one from each story,
Paragraph 5 Conclusion (4-5 sentences): Closing thoughts/Mention titles and authors one more
time. How are both of these stories relevant to present society?
ntroduction
In the play Trifles by Susan Glaspell and the short story “No Face” by Junot Diaz, there
are similarities in conflict between the protagonists and society. Both No Face and Mrs. Wright
are harshly judged for circumstances that they have no control over. Knowingly or unknowingly,
one character from each story is willing to stand up to the hierarchy of society. Nevertheless,
there is clearly a focus on the culture which sparks an intriguing societal perception of feminism
versus masculinity.
Judgment
The judgment laid down by society is strong enough to keep No Face and Mrs. Wright in
isolation. No Face cannot go out without being judged for how he looks, and Mrs. Wright cannot
leave her home without people questioning the unhappiness that exists within her marriage.
While their circumstances are out of their control, they still attempt to live their daily lives. No
Face’s name is in fact a major part of his identity which he unfortunately acquires after being
attacked by a pig. Diaz (1996) says, “He knows he should go but the morning fog covers
everything…No Face! A few of them yell out but he has no time for them” (p.577). No Face
leaves home before he can be ridiculed by his family, and he rushes past shopkeepers before they
can mistreat him. Their judgment is based on his facial disfiguration. Likewise, Mrs. Wright is
judged by her peers who suspects she murdered her husband. Mrs. Hale says, “I’d hate to have
men coming into my kitchen, snooping around and criticizing” (Glaspell, 1919, 1.1.56).
Ironically, in their attempt to identify a motive, they make mention of the type of woman she was
prior to being married. She was happier before she was married, and it appears to be common
knowledge that her husband made her life difficult. While he is not being judged for what he did
to her, she is in fact judged by what she might have done to him. Both characters are suspects
based on the supposed threat they pose to society.
Padre Lu and Mrs. Hale stand up against hierarchy in society.
Masculinity vs. Feminism
Conclusion
Option 2: Focus on three types of conflict:
No Face and Trifles
1.) Personal choice (man vs. self)
2.) Voices debating their rightful places (man vs. man)
3.) Cultural and traditional rules in society (man vs. society)
Outline
Paragraph 1 Introduction (4-5 sentences): Thesis Statement
-Supporting points (inner, personal, extra personal)
Paragraph 2 Supporting Point 1 (5-6 sentences): man vs. self
-examples, details, two in-text citations one from each story,
Paragraph 3 Supporting point 2 (5-6 sentences): man vs. man
-examples, details, two in-text citations one from each story,
Paragraph 4 Supporting point 3 (5-6 sentences): man vs. society
-examples, details, two in-text citations one from each story,
Paragraph 5 Conclusion (4-5 sentences): Closing thoughts. How are both of these stories
relevant to present society?
Option 2
Introduction
In the play Trifles by Susan Glaspell and the short story “No Face” by Junot Diaz, there
are similarities and differences among self, interpersonal, and societal conflicts. No Face and
Mrs. Wright struggle with the choices they must make to survive. Other voices in each story
debate the rightful place of the protagonists. Finally, cultural and traditional rules are reflected in
each story ultimately illuminating the core issues that establish the foundation for such conflicts.
Man vs. Self
No Face and Mrs. Wright encounter self-conflicts after being confronted with choices of
survival. No Face is viewed as both mysterious and monstrous because his face is disfigured. He
seeks acceptance but knows this is not an option. When confronted by a group of young boys
who have intentions of turning him into a girl, he has a choice to make. He knows that he is
strong and can more than likely kill each of them. However, he knows this is not the answer as it
would confirm his crucifixion. Nevertheless, “he says strength and the fat boy flies off him and
he’s running down the street and the others are following” (Diaz, 1996, p.578). His conscious
decision to use his strength to run opposed to fight highlights his ability to overcome self-
conflict. Similarly, Mrs. Wright grapples with self-conflict on a daily basis when she attempts to
avoid the wrath of her husband. She steps into her role as a housewife and performs her duties.
Nonetheless, when confronted by his sour attitude, she attempts to protect the one thing that
keeps her sane. The murder of her bird throws her into a self-conflict that results in the death of
her husband. Mrs. Hale says, “I wonder how it would seem to never have had any children
around. No, Wright wouldn’t like the bird-a thing that sang. She used to sing. He killed that, too”
(Glaspell, 1916, 1.1.123-125). Her choice to end his life was in many ways her ability to begin a
new life even if it meant being branded as a murderer. Self-conflict within both characters arise
making them question everything within themselves.
