please select a topic (can be from the list or not from the list). the only topic you cannot choose is: Buffalo Niagara transportation system. (skip the survey portion option, as it is easier to do the individual portion without it)
for the chosen topic, please complete the individual analysis both the “field research and the parameters & due date” sections and relate the topic to 2 of the concepts learned in class (from the powerpoints that I have attached).

Write a research-based report (about 1 1/2 pages) that researches the historical, social, or cultural context for a story, poem, or play we have read.  How does knowing about the context help the reader more fully understand and appreciate the work?  For example, how are the time, social atmosphere, and racial tensions of the 70s reflected in Sundiata’s poem “Blink Your Eyes; or what events from the early 1970s may have influenced Marge Piercy’s poem, “Barbie Doll”. Another approach would be to do some research on an author to see how his/her life experiences may be reflected in a story, poem, or play.  You should have at least 3 reliable sources (Internet sources may be used).  Be sure to cite sources according to MLA (see text for this).  The emphasis must be on the relationship of the information you found to a specific work
( The book i chose to focus on is Paul Lawrence Dunbar’s “We Wear The Mask”) relate on information about that book

You must complete both Part I and Part II to earn credit.
Part I: Summarize Joyce Karpay’s chapter on “Feminist Criticism.”   (You can click the title link to download the source or use the e-reader below.) Your summary should answer the questions listed below. You may also just answer each question individually. You do not need to rewrite the question. 
(Note: If you respond to each question individually, be sure to write complete paragraphs. Keep in mind that while the forums are meant to help you create the writing you will use in your research paper, that you cannot just copy/paste your forum, but you will need to be sure to shape your writing to fit the format of a college essay supporting a clearly defined thesis, with transition and topic sentences and a concluding paragraph.)
1. Explain the brief history of feminist criticism that Joyce Karpay defines. 
2. Explain what Karpay says about how feminist criticism is intended to help men and women, not just women.  What does Karpay say about how men can benefit from feminist criticism?
3. Explain what Karpay says about how the French feminists added to our understanding of female writing. According to French feminism, how does female writing differ from male writing? How have male standards for language prevented women from being able to freely express themselves? 
4. Explain what Karpay says about how feminist scholars have expanded the value and importance of female authors like Kate Chopin. 
5. Explain what Karpay says about Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour.”
Part II: Watch and write a summary of the documentary, One Woman, One Vote. (Note: U.S. copyright applies so you can only watch the documentary by being logged into this Moodle class.) Your summary should answer the questions listed below. You may also just answer each question individually. You do not need to rewrite the question. 
1. According to the documentary why were women being denied the right to vote in America?
2. Who were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony? Discuss each one’s different approach to advancing the women’s suffrage movement in America. 
3. Explain some of the specific ways women were being treated unfairly in America and how the suffrage movement sought to change that treatment.
4. According to the documentary, what led to the passage in 1920 of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guaranteeing women the right to vote? What made men change their views to believe women should be granted the right to vote? 
5. What factual information from the documentary can help explain the historical significance of Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” which was originally published in 1894? Connect facts from the documentary One Woman, One Vote, about the women’s suffrage movement and the way women were treated in the 1890s to specific details from “The Story of an Hour.”
Important guidelines for both Part I and Part II:
With Part I and Part II, before you start to summarize each source, you need to clearly name the source by full title and full name of the author and write a topic sentence that organizes the summary. 
Example for Part I: In her brief history and overview of “Feminist Criticism,” Joyce Karpay helps show the importance of authors like Kate Chopin and stories like “The Story of an Hour.” 
Example for Part II: in the documentary, One Woman, One Vote, the narrator, Susan Sarandon, describes the struggle of American women to change society to recognize women’s right to vote and be treated with fairness and respect. 
(Remember, do not just copy or plagiarize my examples. Use them as a guide to help you to write your own topic sentences. Note: movie titles are italicized and chapter titles are put in quotation marks.)
Write complete sentences and paragraphs. Do NOT just list terms or write fragmented notes. Keep in mind that this is an advanced college English class, so use proper grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. For help with grammar, see:  https://www.grammarly.com/blog/category/handbook/
Remember to properly refer to the author by last name when referencing the source. When first mentioned, write the full name of an author; thereafter, write the last name. Use phrases like, “According to Karpay” and “Sarandon describes.”  See: https://tinyurl.com/y69ps8tr
Provide proper in-text parenthetical citations per MLA guidelines for all quoted and paraphrased information from the textbook (Do NOT plagiarize.) See MLA in-text guidelines: https://tinyurl.com/y673xs3c  
Do not be too general or short. Be sure to support your answers with evidence and details from the source. Pretend you are explaining the source to someone who has not read it to be sure you include enough details so that someone who has not read the source understands what you are talking about. Write objectively and analytically. See tips for writing about literature: https://tinyurl.com/uschs47b 
Be sure to summarize and explain the source in your own words and be careful not to rely too heavily on quoting the source. See tips for knowing when to quote: https://advice.writing.utoronto.ca/using-sources/quotations/
After you complete both parts, be sure to include the Works Cited citations at the end to properly credit the sources you used. List sources alphabetically. See: https://tinyurl.com/2ucvv3sf

I
was wondering about the first Summer Olympics after WWII. Who were some
event winners and which country took home the most gold medals (also 2nd
and 3rd would be nice to know).
A:
The first Summer Olympics after WWII took place in the 1940s, a bit
more than 50 years before the turn of the millennium in the year 2000.
The 1948 Summer Olympics were held during the summer of 1948 and hosted
by London, United Kingdom.
Event Winners:
Generating
a full, comprehensive, and complete list of winners would cause the
response to become unnecessarily complex and lengthy, so I will instead
list a few notable event winners for the sake of simplicity. Some
notable champions are:
Bob Mathias (USA): At just age 17, he won gold in the decathlon.
Fanny Blankers-Koen (Netherlands): Blankers-Koen secured four gold medals in the following track and field competitions: 100m, 200m, 80m hurdles, 4x100m relay.
Delfo Cabrera (Great Britain): Cabrera claimed the gold in an exciting marathon event.
Medal Standings:
USA:
The United States managed to win the most medals. The country brought
home more gold models than any other country by winning 38 gold medals.
In addition to their 38 gold medals, the United States also was awarded 27 silver medals.
For bronze medals, the United States brought home 19.
Their total number of medals won was 84.
Sweden: The
country of Sweden came in a second place for most gold medals,
finishing behind the leader. Sweden had less than half the amount of
gold medals compared to the United States. Their final gold medal count
at the event’s conclusion was 16.
In the silver medal category, Sweden hauled in 11 of these.
Sweden
finished just behind the United States for number of bronze medals with
17. They were only two behind the United States, who won 19 bronze
medals.
Combining all gold, silver, and bronze medals, one can see that Sweden won 44 total medals.
France: Rounding out third place was France with 10 gold medals.
France was able to win 6 silver medals at this event.
The country’s official bronze medal count was 13.
29 is the number of total medals won by France throughout the entirety of the event at its conclusion.
Interesting Facts:
The
1948 Olympics were nicknamed the “Austerity Olympics” due to the
limited amount of resources in a post-war time period where rationing
was a concern.
The defeated nations of Germany and Japan were not invited to participate following their loss in the war.
Sigfrid Edström was the president of the International Olympic Committee during this time.
B:
The first Summer Olympics after WWII took place in 1948. It was
hosted by London, United Kingdom. Listed below is the information you
requested.
Event Winners:
For the
sake of simplicity, I’ll name some notable champions rather than a full
list of event winners. Some notable champions are:
Bob Mathias (USA): At just age 17, he won gold in the decathlon.
Fanny Blankers-Koen (Netherlands): Blankers-Koen secured four gold medals in the following track and field competitions: 100m, 200m, 80m hurdles, 4x100m relay.

Othello topics for commentary: Please choose 1 of the topics below and write approximately 2 pages;  no need to create a 5-paragraph essay, but try to respond to your topic by referring to specific scenes/moments in the text.
What is Othello’s tragic flaw? How is it evident? What are its consequences? 
What lesson(s) are illustrated in this play that could be universally applicable (here and now)?
At the end of the play, when Othello knows all the truths about each person in his life, he asks Cassio (speaking about Iago): “Will you, I pray, demand that demi-devil/Why he hath thus ensnared my soul and body?” (Vii) 
So, what is the answer to this question (why is Iago determined to ruin Othello’s life)?
Here are Othello’s dying words (to Cassio and Lodovico): 
Soft you! A word or two before you go.
I have done the state some service, and they know’t.
No more of that. I pray you, in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice. Them must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely, but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought, 
Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hands,
Like the base Judean, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe; of one whose subdued eyes,
Albeit unused to the melting mood,
Drops tears as fast as the Arabian trees
Their medicinable gum. Set you down this.
And say besides that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and turbaned Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduced the state,
I took by th’ throat the circumcised dog
And smote him – thus. (He stabs himself.) Vii
Analyze Othello’s speech to reach your final conclusion about the quality of his character. Do you commend or condone his suicide? Do you commend or condone his actions throughout the play? Do you find this speech entirely tragic, uplifting, or some combination of both?

(Part 1) Assignment Descriiption: Create an annotated bibliography of two academically credible sources, and a research proposal of at least one full paragraph. Total, the assignment should be at least 300 words.
Part I: Create a short, annotated bibliography of your two strongest sources: one that is in support of the pro side of your topic and one that is in support of the con side of your topic.
Create a reference citation using APA Style and a short annotation or summary for each source. In your own words, explain the article’s purpose and conclusions. Then, explain how you might use the information from the source within your paper.
Part Il: Write a short research proposal paragraph that explains your chosen research topic, arguments on either side of the controversy, and finally, your tentative thesis statement. The purpose of the research proposal is to help you understand your project, gain direction and feedback on your project, and establish a blueprint for your project.
• Begin with a few sentences that offer context (background information) about the topic.
• Then, detail the controversy surrounding the issue, and include at least two sentences detailing the arguments on either side of the issue.
• Finally, offer your tentative thesis statement. The thesis statement is your overall argument about the issue, and it is normal to hone and strengthen the thesis statement throughout the first few stages of the writing process, so it is okay if your thesis statement is not exactly where you want it to be just yet. The thesis should make a solid argument and offer a justification of the position (tell your reader why the argument is valid, important, or true).
(Part 2) Assignment Descriiption: Write your paper’s intro paragraph (150-200 words) and outline at least three body paragraphs.
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to begin drafting your academic argumentative research paper and to present a references page with at least three sources.
Descriiption: In this assignment, you will begin drafting your paper, beginning with the introduction paragraph that introduces your reader to the topic, controversy, and your main argument. Next, you will provide an outline of the three body paragraphs that will support your thesis. Finally, you will develop a references page with at least three academically credible sources.
Introduction (roughly 150 to 200 words): The intro paragraph provides your reader with an overview of the topic, the controversy surrounding the topic, the arguments on either side of the issue, and finally, the intro finishes with the paper’s thesis statement, or the overall argument about the issue. For more details about what is expected for each of the following sentences, please see Unit IV, Lesson 2: “The Introduction.” The following components should be included in the introduction (in the following order):
• Sentence 1: Introduce the general topic
• Give your reader basic information about the issue.
• Sentence 2: Narrow the scope
• Continue to provide specific context information leading into your introduction of the controversy.
• Sentence 3: Specific controversy
• Describe the central controversy related to your overall topic.
• Sentence 4: Pro side
• Describe the argument on one side of the controversy, the pro or for side.
• Sentence 5: Con side
• Describe the argument on the opposing side of the controversy, the con or against side.
• Sentence 6: The thesis
• State your overall argument about the issue and offer three reasons to justify the argument.
It is OK if your intro paragraph is slightly longer than six sentences (your thesis may be two complete sentences, for instance, instead of one, or you might need two sentences to introduce the general topic or describe the controversy).
However, the intro paragraph should not be too much longer than the sentence/word length specified here.
Outline (at least three body paragraphs): The outline will offer the topic sentence and at least two points of evidence and explanation for three supporting body paragraphs. Note that you are not writing body paragraphs yet. In this unit, you are planning those body paragraphs by outlining the topic and providing evidence that you will use in each of those body paragraphs, which you will fully develop when you create your final paper.
The topic sentence is the first sentence of each paragraph and introduces the main point or focus of the paragraph; each of the body paragraphs should address one of your three justifications from the thesis statement. Your topic sentences should be fully developed, but the supporting evidence and explanation points do not need to be presented in complete sentences; however, the more you are able to completely structure your outline, the more your professor will be able to offer feedback and instruction. Evidence should consist of statistics, studies, direct quotes, examples, etc. from your source materials, and the explanation should indicate how the evidence supports the overall point of the paragraph. Be sure to provide citations for the evidence you provide; doing so will help you keep your source materials organized. Please see the APA In-text Citations tutorial for more information and examples.
(Part 3) Assignment Descriiption: Submit your final paper with the addition of the counterargument and conclusion paragraph, your revised intro paragraph and developed body paragraphs, and a references page with at least three sources.
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to complete your academic argumentative research paper.
Descriiption: In this assignment, you will transition the outline you created in Unit V into at least three body paragraphs. You will also write the paper’s counterargument and conclusion. The overall paper (not including the references page) should be around 1,300 to 1,500 words and must include at least three credible sources.
The paper should include all the following components (in order):
• Title page
• Introduction
• Body paragraphs
• Conclusion
• References page
Introductory Paragraph:
• Approximately six sentences
• The intro paragraph serves to introduce the topic and the paper’s thesis statement.
• Make the suggested revisions based on the feedback you received in Unit IN.
Body Paragraphs:
• At least three paragraphs
• Transition the outline of the body you produced in Unit V to full paragraph form to support the paper’s thesis (revisit Unit Vl lessons on transitions and cohesion).
• Each body paragraph should address one of the justifications of the thesis statement’s position.
Counterargument:
• Introduce a argue the opposes the argument made in the thesis statement and then refute it (revisit Unit Vi lessons
on introducing a counterargument).
Conclusion:
• Roughly six sentences
• Bring the paper to a close by emphasizing the importance of the issue and the controversy and answer the ‘so what?’ question.
Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.
