Essay 3 (20 points): Life
Context: Over the last two quarters, we have studied monster stories, real life “monstrous” events, and our
life-threatening fears to find that, as Stephen King said, they “make us feel alive.” Aside from forcing us to
consider our own mortality, your cultural stories (told last quarter -- sooo long ago!) also incorporated elements
of your historic and cultural lessons aimed at teaching you to be “good.”
Assignment: For this next paper, you’ll come to terms with the phrase “a good life,” forward other theorists’
research on the matter, and expand your findings by assessing/interpreting your own life.
Basic Requirements:
● MLA format
● Incorporate _____ sources to help you define your terms
● A minimum of 4 sources - only one may be from our past readings.
● A minimum of 3.5 pages (The Works Cited does not count as a page)
Skills Required:
● Research and critical selection of sources
● Citing like a boss
● Comparison/Contrast
● Careful use of language
● Paragraph content - discuss only ONE concept/perspective/aspect of work
● Paragraph organization (logical order of paragraphs)
● Paragraph cohesion (use of transitions and reasonable flow of ideas)
● Revision and final editing
