This document outlines Project 2 for an English course. Students will analyze the style of a model essay and write their own essay imitating that style. They must submit a stylistic analysis of the model essay focusing on its most distinctive stylistic elements. They will then write their own essay on a topic of their choice but in the stylistic manner of the model essay based on their analysis. The project aims to deepen students' understanding of rhetorical style through close analysis and imitation of another writer's style.

1. Essay-writing Essay The word Essay is defined in The Concise O.docxambersalomon88660
1. Essay-writing Essay The word Essay is defined in "The Concise Oxford Dictionary" as "a literary composition (usually prose and short) on any subject.“ It is a written composition giving expression to one's own personal ideas or opinions on some topic; but the term usually covers also any written composition, whether it expresses personal opinions, or gives information on any given subject, or details of a narrative or description.
2. Characteristics of Essay-writing A good essay must contain the following characteristics: Unity Order Brevity Style Personal Touch An essay must be a unity, treating in an orderly manner of one subject; it should be concisely written and not too long, and the style should by simple, direct and clear; and it should have an individuality, or show the personal touch of the writer.
3. Classification of Essay-Writing Essays may be classified as: Narrative Descriptive Expository Reflective Imaginative
4. Classification of Essay- Writing(cont’d) Narrative: In a narrative essay, the writer tells a story about a real-life experience. While telling a story may sound easy to do, the narrative essay challenges students to think and write about themselves. When writing a narrative essay, writers should try to involve the reader by making the story as vivid as possible. Descriptive: A descriptive essay paints a picture with words. A writer might describe a person, place, object, or even memory of special significance. The descriptive essay strives to communicate a deeper meaning through the description. In a descriptive essay, the writer should show through the use of colorful words and sensory details.
5. Classification of Essay- Writing(cont’d) Expository: In an expository essay, the writer explains or defines a topic, using facts, statistics, and examples. Expository writing encompasses a wide range of essay variations, such as the comparison and contrast essay, the cause and effect essay, and the “how to” or process essay. Reflective: A reflective essay consists of reflections or thoughts on some topic, which is generally of an abstract nature; for example; (a) habits, qualities, (b) social, political and domestic topics (c) philosophical subjects, (d) religious and theological topics.
6. Classification of Essay- Writing(cont’d) Imaginative :Essays on subjects such as the feelings and experiences of the sailor wrecked on a desert island may be called imaginative Essays. In such the writer is called to place himself in imagination in a position of which he has had no actual experience. Such subjects as "If I were a king," or "The autobiography of a horse," would call for imaginative essays.
7. Overview of Essay-Writing
8. How to write an effective essay? Every essay has a beginning, a middle and an end. In a 5 paragraph essay, the first paragraph is called the introduction. The next three paragraphs consist of the body of the essay. The fifth and final paragraph is the concl.

Art 110 Art Appreciation - Formal Analysis Paper Assignment
-Remember - Late papers and emailed papers will NOT be accepted.
Description: A formal analysis includes an analysis of the forms appearing in the work you have chosen. These forms give the work its expression, message, or meaning. A formal analysis assumes a work of art is,
(1) a constructed object
(2) that has been created with a stable meaning (even though it might not be clear to the viewer)
(3) that can be ascertained by studying the relationships between the elements of the work.
You must include an image of yourself at the museum at the end of the paper. To aid in writing a formal analysis, you should think as if you were describing the work of art to someone who has never seen it before. When your reader finishes reading your analysis, she/he should have a complete mental picture of what the work looks like. Yet, the formal analysis is more than just a description of the work. It should also include a thesis statement that reflects your conclusions about the work. The thesis statement may, in general, answer a question like these: What do I think is the meaning of this work? What is the message that this work or artist sends to the viewer? What is this work all about? The thesis statement is an important element. It sets the tone for the entire paper, and sets it apart from being a merely descriptive paper.
Format for the Paper: Two and a half to three pages (not including title page, if you use one), , double spaced, 10 or 12 pt type (Times only), 1” borders. Make sure you proofread your papers for adhering to the information listed above, as well as incorrect grammar, spelling, punctuation, and other errors. In addition, make sure your paper includes a thesis statement. Your grade will reflect your ability to follow these guidelines.
In the first paragraph, called the introduction, you will include:
•the name of the artist (if known), title (which is underlined or italicizedevery time you use the title in your paper), date, and medium (if known).
•what you think is the subject
•a description of the work (using the elements of art and principles of design)
•thesis statement - usually the last line or so of your first paragraph.
From that point, the rest of the formal analysis should include not only a description of the piece, but especially those details of the work that have led you to come to your thesis. Yet, your paper should not be a random flow of ideas about the work (i.e. stream of consciousness writing). Rather, your paper should have a sense of order, moving purposefully through your description with regard to specific elements (ex: one paragraph may deal with composition, another with a description of the figures, another with the background, another about line, etc.). Finally, in your conclusion (the final paragraph) you should end your paper with a restatement of your thesis.
It is important to remember that your interest here is strictly ...
Rhetorical AnalysisYour third major paper for this class will be.docxSUBHI7
Rhetorical Analysis
Your third major paper for this class will be a rhetorical analysis of two texts of your choice. In order for you to write effectively, you must be able analyze how these texts work to achieve their purposes. This assignment gives you the opportunity to analyze the argument and rhetorical context of these texts, compare how they work in relation to their rhetorical settings, and discuss their effectiveness in their own contexts.
In order to conduct the comparative rhetorical analysis, you need to choose two texts that are related to each other in some way. You could, for example, choose two advertisements for the same product that are located in different magazines (or different cultures), or, you could choose two speeches on the same topic that are delivered to different audiences (these are just examples – there are many possibilities). In your paper you will be analyzing the texts in terms of their overall purpose, argument, and structure (including ethos, pathos, and logos), paying close attention to how the text relates to the context of the text (audience, purpose, context, author).
In your analysis you should:
1. Write a brief summary of both of the texts you are analyzing. The summaries should contain a description of the features of both texts as well as a description of the main goal/purpose/argument of both texts.
2. Identify and explain the rhetorical situation of the text by focusing on the type of text, the target audience, the author, and the purpose. Remember that texts may have more than one audience and purpose. Use examples and evidence from the text to show how author of the text is relating or not relating to the rhetorical situation.
3. Identify and analyze how the author uses rhetorical strategies (ethos, pathos, logos) to connect with and support his claim for his target audience. Also, pay attention to how the author uses language, format, word choice, and organization to present information, inform/mislead/flatter/etc. (as we have read about in the texts for the class). Use evidence and examples from the text to show how the author uses rhetorical strategies.
4. Discuss what parts of the text are effective in reaching the audience and what parts of the text are not effective in light of the texts audience/context.
5. Submit both the analysis and the texts you are analyzing to me with your first and final drafts.
You will be graded on:
· your ability to accurately describe the text and the rhetorical situation of the text.
· your ability to analyze the rhetorical strategies, including ethos, pathos, and logos and other language and rhetorical strategies used to persuade the reader.
· your use of examples and evidence from the text to support your claims.
· your ability to construct a coherent analysis.
· your ability to construct effective paragraphs and sentences/grammar and mechanics.
Your paper should be 4-6 pages long (excluding the title page and works cited page), 12pt font, double- ...
riting About LiteratureGenerally, the essays you write in lite.docxjoellemurphey
riting About Literature
Generally, the essays you write in literature courses attempt to answer interesting questions about works of literature. These questions are interesting for at least two reasons: a) their answers are not obvious, and b) their answers (or at least the attempt to answer them) can enrich other readers’ understanding and experience of those works of literature. Often works of literature seem to be intentionally posing these questions to us; they require us to do some work to get them to work.
Readers have asked many different types of questions of works of literature, for example:
· What did the author want to communicate in this work?
· What does the work reveal about the author’s feelings, opinions, or psychology?
· What does the work reveal about the society in which it was written?
· What can we learn from this work about the issues or topics it deals with?
· What motivates the characters in the work to behave as they do?
· How are literary devices used in the work?
· How does the work create emotional or intellectual experiences for its readers?
· Is this work good or bad?
· Is this work good or bad for its readers?
Some of these questions require information from outside the text itself; for example, to argue that a work reveals a writer’s psychological condition, it would be helpful to have some other evidence of that condition to corroborate your interpretation of the work of literature. Some of these questions ask about the world outside the work—about the author, his/her society, or our own society, for example—while others try to focus more on the features of the work itself. Analyses which try to make statements about the work itself is often calledformalist criticism: it attends more to the structures and strategies employed in the work. Ultimately, such arguments generally do try to move beyond the work, to claim, for instance, that it is likely to create certain effects in its readers, or that readers will understand the writer’s intent more clearly if they pay attention to its formal characteristic.
In LIT 100, we are going to be paying attention primarily to these formal features of literary works. In fiction, some of these features include tone, point of view, setting, character, etc. We will be paying less attention to extra-textual features, such as the author’s biography or the historical contexts in which the literature was produced and/or read; these elements are not less important than formal features, but they naturally vary greatly from one work to another and often require in-depth study to truly appreciate. To understand how Shakespeare’s social situation in London in the 1590s might have been reflected in his plays would require a whole course in Elizabethan history. On the other hand, the formal features we will be studying in this course can be found in literature of all eras and genres, though they may often be used to different effect by different writers at different times. A ...
Today we are going to talk about a type of writing that is currently considered a literary genre like poetry, drama or fiction.
Like any genre, there is a structure or format that must be followed when writing an essay. In turn, this scheme must have certain parts to be considered as such.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Project 2:
Stylistic Analysis and Imitative Essay
In Unit 1, you focused on understanding style as a product of genre. In Unit 2, we will
delve into a deeper understanding of style in the work of a single writer; however, we
will still be studying style as a rhetorical phenomenon.
We’ll use the genre of the literary essay as the basis of this project. The invention of the
essay as a literary form is commonly attributed to Michel de Montaigne, a sixteenth-
century French writer who published his famous Essays in 1580. The etymology of the
term “essay” comes from the French essai, which means “trial” or “attempt.”
So far nobody has come up with a satisfactory definition of the essay, but there do
seem to be some generic traits upon which most people agree:
● An essay is often written from a personal point of view (though many exceptions
can be found: there are plenty of essays by people, especially scientists or
specialists writing for a general audience, that are written from a fairly impersonal
point of view).
● Essays tend to be conversational, with a rather loose structure—however, this is
not to say that they’re sloppy. Rather, just like most things that look effortless, it
takes a lot of hard work to polish an essay up to this degree of apparent
looseness.
● Essays begin with a question in the writer’s mind—i.e., from curiosity. Even if the
essay seems to digress occasionally from this question (digression being a
native part of the essay form itself), the question is always there, lurking in the
background.
2. ENGL 309 Fall 2021
● Related to #3, an essay always has a point. It may not make an explicit
argument; however, all essays are aware that they have readers, and attempt to
persuade or convince readers of something, even if that point remains implicit.
An essay should never be simply informational (like the infamous “research
paper”).
Learning Objectives
By the time you complete Project 2, you should be able to…
● Analyze a piece of writing to identify all aspects of rhetorical style at work there:
purpose or “story”; motives of language, subject, writer, and reader; physical and
social footing; deviation from convention; tropes, schemes, and images.
● Make decisions about which of these aspects of rhetorical style best characterize
a piece of writing.
● Replicate those aspects of rhetorical style using a different topic.
Project Deliverables
I use “deliverables” to refer to the actual things you’ll be handing in for the assignment.
1. Stylistic Analysis of a Model Essay
First, use the following questions (taken from Vivian Gornick’s “The Situation and the
Story” and Performing Prose) to analyze the stylistic attributes of the essay from Best
American Essay of the Century that you have chosen as your model. Be sure to flesh
out the answers to your questions. This means first making a claim in response to the
question, then using evidence from the essay to explain and support that claim.
While not all questions will be equally important in explaining the overall rhetorical
effects of each essay, they're designed to generate material and ideas that you can then
shape into a more coherent analysis.
Generative Questions for Stylistic Analysis
● What’s the “situation” and “story” of the essay? [whole essay]
● Map the movements of the essay: describe what each paragraph/section/chunk
is doing. For instance, “Lifelike” begins with an observation of a scene; then it
provides commentary on the practice of what’s happening in that scene; then it
provides a history of that practice; etc. [whole essay]
● What are the most obvious or important motives of language in the essay?
How does the essay use particular types of word classes (articles, prepositional
phrases, etc.) to create specific effects? [choose a significant passage to
analyze]
3. ENGL 309 Fall 2021
● What is the main motive of subject, or how does the language of the essay
reinforce or contradict the subject matter? [whole essay]
● What is the motive of writer, or how does the essay work to shape our
perception of the writer? [whole essay]
● What is the motive of the essay toward the reader? How does the essay work
to establish a particular stance toward the reader, and what effect does this
have? [whole essay]
● Which of these motives are most important to the essay as a whole? [whole
essay]
● In what ways does the essay deviate from convention? Why do you think the
writer made these choices? What are the effects on the reader? [whole essay]
● What is the footing of the essay? How does the piece work to create a sense of
physical space? [whole essay]
● What are the dominant tropes, schemes, and images in the piece? What
rhetorical effects do these create? [choose significant passages to analyze]
When you’ve answered these questions to the best of your ability, reread the essay and
consider which of the stylistic elements are most important to the essay. Then write your
stylistic analysis, focusing on those elements that make the essay most stylistically
distinct. The point of this exercise is ultimately to create a sort of "map" to this particular
essay's style, one which someone could follow to write an essay in a similar style.
You can format your analysis as a memo. In the introduction to the memo, you can
explain the purpose of the stylistic analysis, and also which stylistic elements of the list
below you found to be the most important to creating the stylistic effects of the essay.
Remember to use specific, concise headers, and chunk your analysis to be more
readable. The memo should be approximately 900-1200 words (as always, I am not
really concerned with word count - I want to see a good, in-depth analysis of the essay,
though).
2. Imitative Essay
Using the knowledge of style and genre that you gained through deep stylistic analysis,
write an essay in the style of the essay you analyzed. After thoroughly analyzing the
essay, you will write about a topic of your choice in the style of the essay you chose.
The goal of this essay is to move your readers to think in new ways about your question
or problem, while deepening your awareness of style by attempting to inhabit the style
of another writer.
4. ENGL 309 Fall 2021
Your imitation will be guided by the features you found (in your stylistic analysis) to be
most stylistically distinct. Though obviously there will be differences, I should be able to
clearly see the stylistic influence of your model in your finished work.
Feedback Criteria, Project 2
I will use the following criteria to give you feedback on your Draft for Evaluation.
Remember that as per the grading contract, depending on the grade you want to earn,
you’ll be taking the feedback and revising the Draft for Evaluation for the Final Portfolio.
● Strength of stylistic analysis. The stylistic analysis memo clearly articulates how
the model essay reveals the stylistic features and concepts discussed in
Performing Prose and in class.
● Clarity of purpose and depth. It’s obvious after reading the essay why it was
written; the question or problem is clear and compelling, and the author’s
personal investment is obvious. Personal experience and reflection, primary, and
secondary are used, depending on the stylistic model the essay is imitating.
Includes background and history where needed.
● Successful imitation of a model essay. The essay demonstrates attention to the
stylistic characteristics of a given model, including structure and sentence-level
aspects.
● Quality of execution. It has a clearly defined structure, and the final product is
well polished, stylistically sound, confident, and error-free.
