Final Paper:
During the course of this class, we have discussed theories and how this relates to individuals committing crime. Theories are also used to explain how people make decisions and effect behavior. You will now complete an application paper applying one of the theories we discussed in class to a fictional criminal/villain. Tell me about the character, their motivations, and what makes them a villain? What theory applies to this character’s actions? Explain your choice. Using your theory, explain what could have been done to prevent them from becoming a villain? These are examples of the questions that need to be addressed in your paper.

Lightning Talks are concise 3-5-minute oral presentations that tell the big picture story of your research. A good rule of thumb for an oral presentation is that it takes about a minute to discuss a slide, so your talk should have no more than ~5 slides.
This is very short time, so focus on the big questions that guided your research, rather than details of what you did. Think about addressing things like what motivated your project, what did you do to answer your research question, what answers did you find and why it all matters.

Format my paper in MLA Style and find attached comments from my professor. Second assignment is related to my essay:
an annotated bibliography, which means it is a sort of repository for research. All semester, you have all research your topics and looked into the conversations around them. Now, it is time to put those sources in one easily accessible place. An annotated bibliography is basically a works cited page with a summary for each citation. With each citation, you need to give a brief (3-5 sentence) summary of the source, and a brief (3-5 sentence) explanation of how you plan to use the source.
Please see the example below:
Schnepp, Jessica. “The Catholic Grotesque: Antoni Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia and Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood.” English Studies, vol. 100, no. 5, Aug. 2019, pp. 564–577. EBSCOhost, doi:10.1080/0013838X.2019.1610240 SUMMARY:
This article covers the Flannery O’Connor novel Wise Blood, and it focuses on the use of the grotesque in Catholicism. The author provides a good definition of the Catholic grotesque, as she brings in images of the demonic, the angelic, and of the Passion of Christ. She then shows how O’Connor implements such images in her novel. The author specifically focuses on the main character Hazel Motes. She notes how he is writing against Christ by attempting to create a sacramentally vapid church HOW I WILL USE THE SOURCE:
I feel that I can use this article to support my argument that Hazel Motes is a demonically oppressed character. I believe that O’Connor’s knowledge of Catholicism aided her ability to create such a character, and this particular article goes into detail regarding her knowledge. Specifically, the way that the author showcases the grotesque factors regarding the Catholic practice of exorcism is helpful. I will use this article to better understand how a Catholic writer creates a truly grotesque or monstrous character. Your annotated bibliography should include 2 citations both completed in this manner. The purpose of this exercise is to help you finalize your research for the final paper of the semester. __________________________________

Edit my paper with the comments my professor gave me which are: *Title Title is not bad. Try to integrate the concept/theorist you’re going to be working with in there too *Paragraph Length Mostly fine, some are a little short. Try to aim for 200 words per paragraph *Thesis Intro gives good exposition but your thesis is still vague. What cases will you analyze and what concept(s) will you integrate to make your argument? How specifically do you see productivity apps and surveillance influencing society? *Use of concept You’re working with a lot of different theorists and concepts from the course. While it’s good to see you thinking through each of them, the definitions you provide are a little general and the sheer amount you use makes it difficult for you to go much into depth. Try to narrow it down to 1 or 2 concepts you think will work best in your paper. Find quotes from their articles and work with them to get at the nuances of the concepts *Body Struct Paragraphs are logically organized with good transitions *Analysis You make some interesting points here but you’re working with way too many secondary sources from all over the place. This tends to obscure your own voice when you go to make claims about these productivity apps. I recommend you really narrow down the number of secondary sources you use in this paper to one or two and then find 1-3 concrete examples to perform your analysis. You could look at some commercials, influencer videos, news reports, or even your own observations from using these apps, for example. It may be helpful to look back at the structure of a paragraph activity we did earlier in the semester to help think about how to draw out your own interpretations of the cases *Conclusion Conclusion is not bad but mostly just restates what you said in your intro *Spelling Some grammatical mistakes, but no major issues *Citation Provide page numbers for quotes and when you paraphrase from other sources and timestamps for videos
I used to many sources so just use a max of two that I am going to provide and use a max of two outside sources. remove all the other sources.

The
Facebook Dilemma: RHETORICAL ANALYSIS
Transcript https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/facebook-dilemma/transcript/ (Links
to an external site.)
20 Points
Write a 3-4 page
double-spaced essay (minimum two outside sources) rhetorical analysis of PBS
Frontline’s 2018 documentary The Facebook Dilemma in
which you identify its claims, the type of claim (fact, value, policy) discuss
the types of evidence used to support those claims, and determine whether the
argument is persuasive or not.
It is not enough to
restate the argument.  You must break the argument apart and evaluate the
methods of persuasion employed by the filmmakers. Discuss the validity of the
facts, statistics, and interviews that Frontline uses in the
film.
This paper must be
formally documented in either MLA or APA style.  It requires a Works Cited
or Reference page with a minimum of two outside sources.  Sources should
be from reputable media…no Wikipedia or encyclopedic sources should be part
of the Works Cited page.  (You may consult Wikipedia/IMDB for context,
but do not cite them in your essay.)  As always, your work will be run
through turnitin software, so be sure that no incidences of
plagiarism occur—either intentional or unintentional.
The paper must be
logically organized, must maintain a consistent position, and must be free of
grammatical error.  The essay will be graded on the strength of your
argument, on your prose style and on the quality of your content. 
A sample rhetorical
analysis is attached to the file folder.
METHODS OF ORGANIZATION
Option A: Toulmin model
Introduction: Identify
the claim, type of claim.  List (briefly) the types of evidence employed
to persuade.  Identify who the audience the film is trying to reach. 
Include a thesis statement that tells reader if the argument is reasonable,
well-supported, and persuasive.
Body:
1.      Devote
a section to discussing the factual evidence presented in the documentary. Is
it persuasive?  Is it accurate?  Is it biased or is it neutral? 
Have the filmmakers been biased in the evidence selected?  Is there
evidence of screening or slanting?  This might be a good place to include
outside research—competing or corroborating studies/reviews of the factual
content of the documentary.
2.      Devote
a section to discussing the emotional appeals of the documentary: are they
moving? are they well-chosen? who is the intended audience? how do the
filmmakers establish credibility? (This might be a good place to add research
about the producers or reporters themselves.)
3.      Devote
a section to discussing the underlying assumptions in the piece. Are there any
logical fallacies in the argument?  Do the filmmakers step on any toes
with those assumptions?
Conclusion:
Restate the main points
you make about the argument in new words.  Then discuss the effect that
the documentary had on your own perceptions about the  so-called Facebook
Dilemma. 
Option B: Aristotelian
Model
Introduction: Identify
the claim, type of claim.  Identify the audience that the filmmakers try
to reach.  Give an overview of your rhetorical analysis’ content: How do
the filmmakers employ ethos, logos, and pathos?  Include a thesis
statement that tells readers if the argument is reasonable, well-supported, and
persuasive.
Body:
Your organization should
be structured on the ethos, logos, and pathos model.  You may want to do a
couple of paragraphs in one area and only one in another—but use the structure
roughly as an organizing tool for different sections of the paper.  A
detailed description of what those sections should consider is listed below.
1.      Ethos:
explain in greater detail the ethos appeal of the Facebook Dilemma.
How do the filmmakers establish credibility? (This might be a good place for
outside research about the producers or writers themselves.)  How do they
appeal to the audiences’ ethos? 
2.      Logos:
discuss the factual evidence used and conclusions the experts reach to build
their argument. Is the evidence overly selective?  This is also the place
that you would identify and discuss any logical fallacies or faulty logic.
(This might be a good place to include outside
research—corroborating or competing studies/reviews of the factual content of
the documentary.)
3.      Pathos:
discuss the emotional appeals used to sway the audience: the framing devices
(e.g. “gotcha” interview questions, moments of outrage) and their impact on the
viewer.  Are the positions representative of all Americans?  Do these
interview subjects motivate viewers to accept the filmmakers’ argument?
Conclusion:
Restate the main points
you make about the argument in new words.  Then discuss the effect that
the documentary had on your own perceptions about the so-called Facebook
dilemma.
