Article Response Essay
Assignment
Respond to a written argument and offer a thorough analysis of the article in order to support your
response and ideas.
The Rhetorical Situation (Purpose, Audience, and Genre)
The purpose of this essay is to analyze and respond to an argument (see Norton, Ch. 3 and They Say,
Ch. 4). Your audience is readers of a “current issues” blog; they have not read the article to which you
are responding. Your primary genre is response—this is a “summary/response essay” that you are
being asked to write (Norton, Ch. 3), and you will use the strategies of analysis (see Norton, Ch. 11) in
order to support your reasoning for why you are responding the way you are.
Assignment Requirements
Essays that do not meet the following requirements will be penalized, up to and including a failing grade
on the assignment. Note that failure to follow other guidelines on this assignmen/t sheet may also result
in a penalized grade.
 Length: 900-1500 words (including Works Cited, MLA heading, etc.)
 Sources: one—the article to which you are responding (NO other sources/research allowed!)
o You must include a Works Cited page with the citation for the article provided in MLA
format; consult your Norton textbook (Ch. 52) for details.
o You must quote from the article at least once in your essay (in MLA format)
Tasks/Steps in Completing Essay
1.) Select ONE of the following written texts/arguments to analyze and respond to—since you are
not conducting additional research, make sure you select an article that discusses a topic for
which you have some prior knowledge, as you will be adding your own thoughts to the
ongoing conversation:
 “Hidden Intellectualism” – Gerald Graff (They Say, pg. 244)
 “Black Friday: Consumerism Minus Civilization” – Andrew Leonard (Norton, pg. 164)
 “Juno: Not Just Another Teen Movie” – Ali Heinekamp (Norton, pg. 198)
 “Course Requirement: Extortion” – Michael Granof (Norton, pg. 235)
 “Should Gamers Be Prosecuted for Virtual Stealing?” – Alex Weiss (Norton, pg. 731)
 “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” – Nicholas Carr (Norton, pg. 735)
 “Our Fear of Immigrants” – Jeremy Adam Smith (Norton, pg. 750)
 “Anti-Intellectualism: Why We Hate the Smart Kids” – Grant Penrod (Norton, pg. 759)
 “Wikipedia as a Site of Knowledge Production” – Danah Boyd (Norton, pg. 765)
 “Kids’ Stuff” – Michael Chabon (Norton, pg. 912)
 “The Singer Solution to World Poverty” (Norton, pg. 931)
 “Finland’s School Success: What Americans Keep Ignoring” – Anu Paratanen (pg. 969)
I recommend reading at least three of these written arguments before selecting one for your
essay assignment; that way, you know it will work for you—remember, again, to make sure you
are able to discuss the topic with your own ideas and knowledge!
ENG 101 – Professor Bolton
2.) Construct an academic essay (in the structure we have discussed and using MLA style/format)
that responds to the written argument by agreeing, disagreeing, or agreeing and disagreeing
simultaneously

GENERAL PURPOSE. To persuade
SPECIFIC PURPOSE STATEMENT. A clear statement indicating what your audience should be able to do after hearing your speech. Focus on audience behavior: BEHAVIORAL OBJECTIVE
The following guidelines will help you prepare your Specific Purpose:
Use words that refer to observable or/and measurable behavior
Not observable: At the end of my speech, the audience will know things about Hannibal, Missouri.
Observable: At the end of my speech, the audience will be able to list five points of interest in the town of Hannibal, Missouri.
Limit the specific purpose to a single idea. If your statement of purpose has more than one idea, you will have trouble covering the extra ideas in your speech.
Two ideas: At the end of my speech, the audience will be able to write a single computer program in Just BASIC and play the video game Bioshock Infinite.
One idea: At the end of my speech, the audience will be able to write a single computer program in Just BASIC.
Formulating the Specific Purpose:
Use – “At the end of my speech, the audience will …”
Add a behavior verb – “list, explain, describe, write …”
Does the statement of purpose meet these three tests?
Does it use words that refer to observable or measurable behavior? (page 119)
Is the purpose written as a single idea?
Does the purpose meet the needs, interests, expectations, and level or knowledge of the audience?
Use your specific purpose to focus rest of research.
CENTRAL IDEA/THESIS states in one sentence what the speech is about. It focuses on the content of the speech. Summarizes the speech in one sentence.
Suggestion – start sentence with the topic and make a claim about the topic.
The central idea should be a complete declarative sentence- not a phrase or clause, and not a question, but a grammatically, complete sentence. Uses direct, specific language.
Example:
Phrase: Car maintenance
Question: Is regular car maintenance important?
Complete declarative sentence: Maintaining your car regularly can ensure that it provides reliable transportation.
After formulating central idea, test it against these guidelines:
Is the central idea a declarative statement?
Is the central idea a complete sentence?
Does the central idea use specific language?
Is the central idea a single idea?
Does the central idea reflect a consideration of the audience? The occasion? The speaker?
MAIN IDEAS/MAJOR IDEAS–> Use the following questions:
Does the central idea have logical divisions?
Are there reasons why the central idea is true?
Can steps or a chronological progression support the central idea?
GATHER SUPPORTING MATERIAL
A. With your main idea or ideas in mind, your next job is to gather material to support these ideas—facts, examples, definitions, and quotations from others that illustrate, amplify, clarify, provide evidence, or tell a story.
B. Supporting material should be personal and concrete, and it should appeal to your listeners’ senses.
SUBPOINTS. They provide supporting material to your main/major points.
Here is where you can do your oral citations of your supporting material for these points.

Write a 3-page analysis of potential factors and issues associated with four types of business entities
Write a 3-page analysis of potential factors and issues associated with four types of business entities in the context of contract law.
One of the most common ways in which business managers are involved with business law is in relation to contracts. Organizations of almost any size will most likely need to create, negotiate, review, approve, adhere to, and resolve conflicts associated with contracts. A business determines its legal standing by determining what type of legal entity it should be identified as. The type of legal entity can significantly impact how contracts are handled, as well as how they are interpreted by the courts.
Research each of the following types of :
Sole proprietorship.
Partnership.
Corporation.
Limited liability company (LLC).
Consider potential factors and issues associated with each of these types of business entities in the context of contract law. Write a paper analyzing the following for each of the above four types of business entities:
Who in the business entity would typically create and negotiate a contract?
Who in the business entity would typically approve and sign a contract?
Who in the business entity would have liability associated with the contract?
What are the effects of the type of business entity on the ability to contract for the sale of the business?
Your analysis should be no more than three double-spaced pages in length. References and citations should adhere to APA formatting and style guidelines.
