What was the difference between “virtual” and “actual” representation? Put another way, what was the difference between the British and the Americans on this question?
What was the difference between the Americans and British on the question of what a “constitution” was? What does it have to do with sovereignty (or power)? And how did the American resolve the problem the debate raised?
The historian, Gordon Wood, argues that is a mistake to view the American Revolution as a do-nothing or conservative event. Why does he argue against this outlook? And how does he show that the American Revolution was indeed radical

One way to characterize Kate Chopin would be extreme. She does not see any hope of changing social systems through moderate measures. Your assignment for this unit will be to compare Chopin’s writing to a contemporary feminist concern. Below, I’ve listed three prompts to help give you some direction, if you need it. You may choose any one of these as a prompt for the assignment if want to, but don’t choose more than one. You may also choose to write your comparison according to an issue or concern that you want to address, but whatever you do, BE SURE to quote at least three times from The Awakening.
How would Chopin view America’s political climate today? What issues would she advocate for and what would she suggest doing about them?
How would Chopin imagine Edna in today’s society? What kind of person would she be, and how would society respond to her?
Are there still writers who seek to “resist” in the way that Chopin seems to? If so, who are they and how do they compare Chopin? If there aren’t writers who do what Chopin did, what do you think has changed? Why is this sort of thinking no longer possible, or why has it become so much less a part of the conversation?
Nuts and Bolts: Typed, double spaced, MLA formatted on Microsoft Word and attached as a document that I can open. 350 words minimum and quote at least three times from Chopin in support of your explanations

For this essay, you’ll be writing about
The Color Purple. The Color Purple
is noted for its intersectional themes; it explores the experiences of the characters in the context of their race and gender, as well as social class.
In essay 1, you’ll be . You’ll develop an argumentative thesis that addresses a particular intersectional theme and how the elements of the novel (characterization, plot, etc.) support that theme. For example, how do the characters’ experiences relate to their gender
as well as
their race and/or class? How are they treated by other characters based on these characteristics? How are their struggles, triumphs, and attitudes influenced by all of these social forces? With all of this in mind, how do you think we should interpret the novel as a whole?
Research and Organization:
You must use
The Color Purple
and
1 source from Greenville Tech’s library’s databases
, as well as one additional source which must be credible (not articles already assigned in the course).
Using more than three sources total and/or not using the sources mentioned above will result in a significant deduction of points.
The types of sources you’ll most likely be using are ones that discuss intersectionality and its relationship to literature, as well as literary analysis of
The Color Purple.
The introductory paragraph needs to grab the reader’s attention and contain the
thesis statement
.
Each body paragraph should discuss one particular example from
The Color Purple
of the intersectional theme you have developed.
After you have initially introduced the authors of your sources by their first and last names, be sure to refer to them by their last names only throughout the rest of the essay. Ex. Walker.
The conclusion needs to tie the essay together and should restate the thesis (but in different words). Ultimately, the conclusion should engage the reader and give them food for thought as the essay ends. No new information should be introduced in the conclusion.
Be sure to use the novel itself, one source from the library, as well as one additional reliable source (which may also come from the library if you would like). Do not use more than three sources.
Use signal phrases to introduce your sources.
Signal phrases have two purposes: First, they let the reader know where your thoughts and ideas end and where your sources’ thoughts and ideas begin. Second, they should be used to introduce quotes, summaries, and paraphrases. The first time a source is introduced, a detailed description should be used to tell the reader something about the source so that the reader understands why the source is important to the essay.
The essay should include quotations, summaries, and paraphrases and be written in the third person. Quotes should be used sparingly; summaries and paraphrases should primarily be used.
Essays that do not contain in-text citations when necessary
and
a Works Cited page will receive a zero–since this is considered plagiarism.
Specifics:
800-1,200 words (a ¼ point deduction for each word above or below the required word count). The Works Cited page and MLA header do not count in the word total
. If you feel that you need to go over the word count, please discuss this with me ahead of time, or I will deduct points for each word over the 1,200 word maximum.
You must use MLA format:
header, page number, etc.
signal phrases
in-text citations
works cited page
Make sure to include a creative title with your essay; don’t just simply use Essay 1 as your title.
Point of View:
3
rd
Person
(no 1
st
person “I” or 2
nd
person “you”)
When writing about the events of the novel, use literary present tense.
Your work will be graded according to the English Department Grading Rubric, which includes areas such as content, grammar, organization, and MLA.
Your essay must be submitted through Blackboard by the due date/time to avoid receiving a zero. Computer problems will not count as an excuse for turning the essay in late.
Remember that any and all of the following count as plagiarism and can lead to an automatic failure of the assignment:
failure to include either in-text citations and/or a works cited page
neglecting to provide in-text citations for anything borrowed from a source, whether you quoted it, paraphrased it, or summarized it
neglecting to provide a works cited entry for a source used and cited in-text
not paraphrasing source information thoroughly enough—the ideas/information may have come from somewhere else, but the way those ideas are worded must be 100% original to you or else be in quotation marks.
not using quotation marks when quoting a source word for word
any additional information in
The Bedford Handbook
that outlines plagiarism
When in doubt, cite!
Though I will not require handing them in as part of the assignment, I reserve the right, at any time, to demand to see copies of your source materials. Therefore you should keep copies or files which can be easily accessed and given to me in the event of a request.

He has come to see his GP today as he has had several episodes where he has felt faint, and “may even have passed out on a couple of occasions”. It is some time since Stuart attended the clinic and you note when weighing him that he has lost a significant amount of weight, and he doesn’t present as the robust active older person that you remember. He mentions that he doesn’t cook much and relies on the take-away shop around the corner for most of his food these days. He explains that he has been very lonely since he lost his partner but is excited to reveal a new zest for life now that he has met a new friend, with whom he recently travelled to Cusco, Peru (3400 m above sea level). While he thoroughly enjoyed the trip, he did mention he found it more difficult than normal to breathe there. His relationship has developed sexually, but he has had some difficulty performing. Stuart thought it was his prostate giving him trouble, but with urging from his new partner he bought some Viagra nasal spray over the internet.
