Essay: 750 words count, double-spaced and MLA format. The short story “Bloodchild” will be attached. Instruction for Paper 1: What is the significance of the literary element (plot, setting, characterization/character, diction, theme) you have chosen as the focus for your paper? You will develop a paper that answers this question and demonstrates the following outcomes for writing and literature: Analyze literature for a purpose Distinguish digital or print materials through annotation to demonstrate reading and summary skills Identify a literary element--such as plot, setting, character, diction, or theme--in a short story Identify one to three examples in the story that support the thesis Write a thesis that clearly states your interpretation of the "meaning" (significance) the story based upon evidence related to the literary element you have selected to examine in the story Write clear topic sentences for paragraphs that let the reader know what each paragraph of the body of the paper will discuss Write paragraphs that explain how the examples from the story support the thesis Arrange a paper by presenting paragraphs in a coherent, purposeful manner Write sentences in standard American English that clearly express ideas Demonstrate the MLA style of formatting in the layout of a paper Demonstrate the MLA style of formatting by documenting material from the story within the paper and on a Works Cited page Explain in a clear and logical fashion what you have learned about your writing *Hints: Remember that your reader has read the story and is familiar with it; extensive summary is not useful. Rather, explain and analyze how "meaning" is derived from the story by the author's implementation of a literary element. Note that the paper is to be about the story, not the author, so repeated references to the author are unnecessary and ill advised. *Special Hint about Plot: Be aware that a paper analyzing a piece of literature is NOT a plot summary. Summary, if you must have it, should provide only details necessary to identify parts of the story required to develop the paper, no longer than three to four sentences. Select one from the literary elements listed below: Plot - the arrangement of ideas and/or incidents that make up a story Foreshadowing - When the writer clues the reader in to something that will eventually occur in the story; it may be explicit (obvious) or implied (disguised). Suspense - The tension that the author uses to create a feeling of discomfort about the unknown Conflict - Struggle between opposing forces. Exposition - Background information regarding the setting, characters, plot. Rising Action - The process the story follows as it builds to its main conflict Crisis - A significant turning point in the story that determines how it must end Resolution/Denouement - The way the story turns out.

Composition Project 1 Project 1: Literary Analysis Task: Write a literary analysis of one of the short stories we read in this course. Briefly describe the story, and what you think are the essential literary elements to understanding the story. Audience and purpose: Your objective is to use evidence to support your analysis of the short story. Your audience is your classmates and instructor as well as a larger audience who has not read the short story before. Research and evidence: You need only draw from the texts that you have read for this project. However, in order to illustrate your theme, you may also use outside sources. Steps toward success: 1) Read your short story in-depth. (This will require multiple readings of the text.) 2) Take notes and annotate the story. 3) Take advantage of the process. Carefully consider all revision comments you receive from your peers and instructor, and make significant revisions. 4) Avoid simply summarizing the plot of the short story. Remember that this class focuses on your analytical writing skills, not on retelling the story. 4) Checklist:  Length: 900 to 1200 words  Sources: For this project, you need only refer to the literature on which you are working. Be sure to cite both the evidence from the text and any outside sources you use. Include a Works Cited page using MLA style. Literary Analysis: Using Elements of Literature Students are asked to write literary analysis essays because this type of assignment encourages you to think about how and why a poem, short story, novel, or play was written. · To successfully analyze literature, you’ll need to remember that authors make specific choices for particular reasons. Your essay should point out the author’s choices and attempt to explain their significance. · Another way to look at a literary analysis is to consider a piece of literature from your own perspective. Rather than thinking about the author’s intentions, you can develop an argument based on any single term (or combination of terms) listed below. You’ll need to use the original text as evidence to defend and explain your argument to the reader. Character - representation of a person, place, or thing performing traditionally human activities or functions in a work of fiction · Protagonist - The character the story revolves around. · Antagonist - A character or force that opposes the protagonist. · Minor character - Often provides support and illuminates the protagonist. · Static character - A character that remains the same. · Dynamic character - A character that changes in some important way. · Characterization - The choices an author makes to reveal a character’s personality, such as appearance, actions, dialogue, and motivations. Look for: Connections, links, and clues between and about characters. Ask yourself what the function and significance of each character is. Make this determination based upon the character's history, what the reader is told (and .

--- Quantitative Project: World Income and Health Inequality Based on what we have discussed so far, it seems that there is a lot of variation around the world in terms of income, wealth, education, health status, and many other characteristics. And these characteristics seem to be related with one another. For example, people from wealthier countries tend to live longer. In this project, you are asked to use international data to empirically investigate the relationship between income and health status. The following sections provide a general description of this project and raise questions that you need to answer. Objectives: A. Substantive : Students will be able to 1. investigate world inequality in income. 2. investigate world inequality in health status . 3. investigate the relationship between income and health status. B. Quantitative Skills : Students will be able to 1. sort a single variable and examine its distribution 2. calculate within-group adjusted-means weighted by populations 3. produce a scatter plot to investigate the relationship between two variables Data and Variables The data are from “2008 World Population Data Sheet” published by the Population Reference Bureau ( http://prb.org/Publications/Datasheets.aspx ). Three variables are used for this project: Gross National Income (GNI) PPP per capita Life expectancy Population ( in millions) These three variables for more than 100 countries are already compiled in an Excel file. Validity of the Measurement Income level Q_1 : Why can’t Gross National Income be directly used as a measure of income level? What does the PPP adjustment take into account? Why has it to be per capita? Health Status Q_2 : How is life expectancy defined? Why not to use Crude Death Rate (CDR)? What is the advantage of using life expectancy ? Data Analysis Corresponding to the three objectives stated above, the analysis section is composed of the following three parts: 1. Investigation of income inequality between rich and poor countries Q_3 : Find out the top five countries with the highest GNI PPP per capita and the bottom five countries with the lowest values. List these countries’ names and their income. Q_4 : How much is the difference between the highest and lowest country ? Q_5 : If we want to find out the overall difference between these two groups , can we simply take an average of the five values of GNI PPP per capita within each group and compare the two means? Why or why not? A better way is to compare the population -weighted means. We first need to calculate the total income for each country by multiplying GNI PPP per capita by its population. Then, add all five total income within each group. Finally.

-an explanation of why the Marbury v. Madison case is a landmark decision. Then briefly describe the Supreme Court case you reviewed and explain the significance of the Marbury v. Madison decision on the outcomes of the case. Be specific. Note: Put the name of the Supreme Court case you reviewed in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who selected a different Supreme Court case than you did. Powers of the Supreme Court There are a number of Supreme Court cases that have significantly impacted law and public policy. As you progress through the course, you will review many of these cases. For this Discussion, you are asked to consider the significance of the Marbury v. Madison case. In the presidential election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson defeated the incumbent president, John Adams, a Federalist. Before John Adams left office, he appointed judges and justices of the peace for the District of Columbia who also were Federalists. All of the appointments for the new judges and justices of the peace were approved in a mass Senate hearing. However, four of the justices of the peace did not receive their commissions before John Adams’ presidency was over. One of these justices of the peace, William Marbury, petitioned the Supreme Court to force James Madison, the new Secretary of State under Jefferson, to deliver his commission. Marbury cited the Judiciary Act of 1789 which gave the Supreme Court the power to take such an action. In the end, Chief Justice John Marshall of the Supreme Court declared that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and then denied Marbury’s petition. This decision was the first time in history that the Supreme Court deemed a legislative act to be unconstitutional. As a direct result of the case, the concept of judicial review was established and the checks and balances of the U.S. Government were further defined. 2-a brief explanation of the Supreme Court’s role in policy making. Then describe two strengths and two limitations of the Supreme Court’s role in policy making. Role of the Supreme Court in Policy Making While the U.S. Supreme Court is extremely powerful, theoretically, it is not able to create law or public policy in the way that Congress or the President does. However, the Supreme Court is able to review public policies or laws that are disputed and determine their constitutionality. Supreme Court justices must determine which cases or disputes to hear and then determine if the laws or policies in such cases are constitutional. If they rule that the laws or policies are unconstitutional, they make recommendations about how the laws or policies should be changed or adapted. In this way, the Supreme Court engages in policy making. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Preface and Introduction in the course text, Landmark Supreme Court Cases: The Most Influential Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. Conside.
