Please write an essay comparing and contrasdng two primary sources in Amertcan history since 1877.

A primary source is a document which provides direct ar
object, person, or ongoing histortcal developments. Primary sources Include Historical and legal
of creative wriing, a
sources, by contrast, Include textbooks and other materials wrimen after events occur. Im other words,
secondary sources are not first hand accounts.
Your paper should be at least 6 pages typed and double spaced. The fom size should be no larger than
12 point. Your essay must be at least 1500 words
Your essay must include an introductory paragraph and a conclusion. A thestis statement somewhere tn
the introduction is important A thesis is the main argument or idea that you want to prove in the essay
Please include analysis as well as naration in your essay. Narration refers to what happened. Analysis
refers to how and why things occur. Your goal is to describe the documents you have chosen, explatn
why the sources were written, and to discuss why they are important historically
is required in this assignment. In other words, all sources must be cited. Avoid
plagiarism. Copying word for word from the internet is one example of plagiarism. Quotations are fine
so long as quotation marks and documentation is provided. Please avold overusing quotes

Assume that your audience is unfamiliar with the course text you are writing about; therefore, you will need to provide a good amount of summary in order to explain your analysis and position.

For instance, you should explain who the author is and why they are considered an expert on their chosen topic. You may also need to talk about the authors sub-arguments, use of evidence, and conclusions.To identify an argument of your own in relation to the course text, you will need to analyze the article for its strengths, its weaknesses, and the value of the authors implications or conclusions. The following are templates for positions you might make in relation to the course text where X=the author/authors:- X makes a strong argument that _____________, but the argument would have been more ____________ if she had also considered _________________.- X may be correct in their argument that __________________, and yet I am concerned about the implications of this argument for the following reasons: ___________ and ________________.- I agree with X up to a point, but I cannot agree with their conclusion that _________________.- Xs argument focuses on an important topic, especially for _______ (group of people/field of study)__________ because ________________. Additional research should be done in this field to find out ______________ and ______________.- I believe that Xs argument could be applied well to other settings such as ____________, and by doing so we might learn _______________.- I find Xs argument of limited value because he did not consider ________________, which would have made his argument more complex and ____________________.These suggestions are only a few of many possible arguments you could construct; please do not limit yourself only to these suggestions.(choose your own position)

Briefly describe why it is commonly used in early empirical design equations for flexible pavements. (8 points)

2. Define empirical and mechanistic-empirical design methods. Also, briefly describe the

Choose one of the following three topic ideas, or create one of your own. 1. VOICE is the distinctive style or manner of the narrator. In literature, voice communicates the writer’s intensity.Compare and contrast the voice of two pieces that we have read. Consider in what ways differing narrative voice affects the way that the reader understands the story and whether or not the voice is effective. As an example, Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing” begins in first person;however, he primarily recounts the American experience as one where he is observing others in their daily lives. Hughes begins in first person and continues to narrates an observation of experiences that remains in first person and become more and more personal. The voices used most frequently in our readings are:
First person: writer relates events from own point of view using “I” “me”Third person objective: writer tells story as if he or she is watching others and is not a part of the storyThird person subjective: writer tells story from the point of view of one of the characters. 2. THEME is the central topic of a text. It might be a single idea or might take. See “Tips on Themes” attachment for suggestions to identify thematic elements.Compare and contrast the themes in two stories. For example, consider how the womans role in society is highlighted in The Story of an Hour and The Yellow Wallpaper,” how life choices are examined in Frosts Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening and The Road Less Traveled, perspective and human behavior are explored in Shakur’s “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” and Angelou’s “Caged Bird.” You might also choose to compare and contrast the presentation of Americas as noted in Whitman’s “I Hear America Singing,” Hughes’s “I Sing America,” or Alvarez’s “I too Sing America.”
3. CHARACTERS Compare and contrast two characters. The characters may be in the same work, such the spouses Shukumar and Shoba in “A Temporary Matter” or they may be characters in separate readings, such as Melvilles Bartleby and Robinsons Richard Cory.

In a critical essay, select a country (or countries) affected by a specific currency crisis. Analyze the source of the crisis and the specific resolution of the issue.

A number of currency crises have affected certain countries, which have also resulted in contagion in the sense that the crises affected neighboring countries. Indicate whether the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or another sovereign state or country provided intervention. Has the country’s economy recovered since the conclusion of the crisis? Support your findings with additional academic references.

Write a paper in which you analyze one of our course texts and take a position of your own in relation to the authors argument.

Assume that your audience is unfamiliar with the course text you are writing about; therefore, you will need to provide a good amount of summary in order to explain your analysis and position. For instance, you should explain who the author is and why they are considered an expert on their chosen topic. You may also need to talk about the authors sub-arguments, use of evidence, and conclusions.To identify an argument of your own in relation to the course text, you will need to analyze the article for its strengths, its weaknesses, and the value of the authors implications or conclusions.

Explain and illustrate with examples from the short stories you have studied for this course as well as outside this course.

Evaluate Strategies of Surveillance in Public Places

surveillance cameras helps police stop criminals and crime instead of people worrying about invading their privacy.
Requirements:
– You must write a research proposal (description below) as a first step toward completing this assignment
– Your paper must be 5-7 pages in length, not including your Works Cited page
– You must use at least one of our required course texts and at least three additional research sources that you find on your own (4+ total)
– You must cite all sources properly using MLA Style for in-text citation and Works Cited page:
Write a paper in which you use ideas from our readings in Unit II to develop a research project on a specific issue related to surveillance. Unlike Paper #1 in which you primarily analyzed another authors argument, your purpose in Paper #2 is to devise entirely your own argument about your chosen subject, using both course material and research sources to support your ideas. Thus, Paper #2 requires that you present a clear, informed position on a narrowly defined topic of your choice.
Finding a Topic:
The best way to identify a topic for this paper is to pay attention to the ideas or questions that spark your attention while reading our course texts or during discussions in class. We realize that not everyone comes into English 0802 interested in surveillance, so you may need to manufacture a sense of curiosity or interest in order to create the spark of attention. The better you are at being curious about what we are reading and discussing, the more likely it is that you will find something to write about that becomes interesting to you over time. We will work in class on narrowing down topics, as well.
