Illustration Essay Final

Revise your 750-1000 word essay about a topic in which you argue for the existence of a particular phenomenon by stating a generalization about the topic. The essay should be written in the style and form described within Unit V. For this assignment, you will edit and revise your Unit V Illustration Essay Draft. This final essay will be your last opportunity to make adjustments to the essay.

Purpose: Throughout Unit V, we discussed the conventions of the illustration essay. The purpose of this assignment is to measure your mastery of the conventions of the illustration essay. For this assignment, you will practice the skill of careful revision and refinement of your work as sometimes re-envisioning your writing can be more difficult than writing the essay the first time. However, to make your writing the best that it can be, you must practice the skills of editing and revision.

Process: For the illustration essay, you will complete the following steps:

1. Read through your paper, looking for structural concerns: See Unit IV, Lesson 5, for more details. Be sure that you are satisfied with your paper as a whole before you do any detailed editing.
2. Read through your paper looking for grammar and stylistics: See Unit IV, Lesson 5, for more details. You may need to read your essay aloud or have someone else look over the essay to find all of your mistakes and awkward phrasings.
3. Submit a Writing Center request using the Writing Center Request Form in the student portal (optional). Have one of CSU’s trained Writing Specialists read through your essay before submission.

Stylistic details: All essays must meet the following requirements:

• 750-1000 words.
• Write in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font.
• Include one-inch margins on all sides.
• Use double spacing (top-to-bottom every page, to include above and below titles and centered words).
• Include an APA title page (for all essays) and reference list that includes all of the sources used in the essay.
• Include a header.
• Include page numbers (upper-right corner only).
• Adhere to APA convention and documentation style (See the CSU citation guide for assistance.).
• At least one source is required. All sources used must be cited.

Discussion Question: Discuss two ways in which international organizations have contributed to international security in the post-WW II era. What factors help determine the ability of NGOs to effectively contribute to important security issues?

Instructions: Your initial post should be at least 350 words. Please respond to at least two other students’ posts. Responses should be a minimum of 150 words and include direct questions.

Part A

Objective: Recognize characteristics of informational social influence.

After checking into a hotel, Emma suddenly hears pounding on her door. A man in a uniform is standing there telling her there’s smoke on a lower floor and the electricity is possibly going to shut off. She should prop her door open and evacuate as quickly as possible. Later, Emma returns to find that her laptop and jewelry have been stolen. She has fallen victim to informational social influence.

Based on your understanding of informational social influence, outline and explain the four (4) factors and conditions that encouraged Emma to conform.

Part B

Objective: Describe the need to be accepted in the context of normative social influence.

• Based on Schachter’s “Johnny Rocco” study, describe three (3) stages involved in persuading “rebels” to conform to group norms.
• Describe an instance in your life when you were persuaded to adopt or reject group norms.

Hello,

There is only one assignment in English Literature and the instruction is listed below:

You only need to follow the instruction of the exercise and you will be fine. I also copied the explanation of the lesson that the assignment based on so you can have full understanding of the nature of this assignment.

Here is the exercise:

ASSIGNMENT:

Write a scene (not a complete story, your work doesn’t have to have a beginning, middle and end, but is really just a “part” of the story) in which 3 characters talk. Since you’ll want to “show” where the scene takes place don’t forget to add a few touches for SETTING, i.e., details showing the place and time (setting can simply be sentences of description. For instance, to “show” what’s happening in the scene you might want to add a few sentences here and there, such as “He picked up the old rotary telephone and punched in a number.” Or: “She combed her hair slowly with a pink brush.” etc.).

For this assignment I’d like for you to write 1 full page (8.5 x 11). Please include the assignment as a separate document so that when I open it I’ll see that you have written a full page’s worth of mostly dialogue.

Explanation:

This week we’re going to write DIALOGUE, i.e., conversation between two or more characters. Some writers love to write dialogue and often include it in their stories. They usually have “a good ear” for getting language on the page “the way people speak”– that is, believable speech. However, there’s a “trick” to dialogue: people on the page don’t “sound” like people speaking in real life. For one thing, they don’t stammer or stutter–no “ums,” “uhs,” or repetitions like “I don’t, I don’t, I don’t know.” (Well, sometimes a writer might use repetition, for emphasis, but intentionally, to make a point.) Dialogue is very stylized, and very often streamlined.

Now watch this video featuring Quentin Tarantino. As the famous director of Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Inglourious Basterds, Kill Bill, etc., he certainly knows a thing or two about dialogue:

As an example of good dialogue, here’s a scene from Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction”:

A famous short story that mostly depends on dialogue is Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants.” I guarantee you’ll have to read it at least twice before you figure out what the story’s about (don’t cheat and Google, try to figure it out on your own first).

Remember last week’s assignment where you were supposed to NOT mention the most important “thing” that happened and yet let it inform the telling of the story? Well, Hemingway’s story is very serious, and has a very serious subject at its core.

Here’s the story for you to read (sorry, you’ll have to “copy” & “paste” in your search bar):

Now, for some quick & dirty “rules” about writing dialogue:

1. Typically writers use double-quotation marks to indicate spoken language: “I like it!”

2. Writers typically use tags (sometimes called attributions) to indicate/identify who is speaking: “I like it!” she said. Sometimes, if there are only a couple of characters and it’s obvious who is speaking, each line of dialogue doesn’t require individual tags.

3. Quoted material + tags are separated usually by commas, and those commas go inside the quote marks: “I like it! And I like you,” she said. [Note: comma is INSIDE the quote; in British English it is OUTSIDE the quote, like this: “I like it! And I like you”, she said. Please use American English standards for your writing in this class.]

4. Usually, each line of dialogue is set off as a new paragraph:

“I like it! And I like you,” she said.

“I appreciate that,” Syd said. “I really value your opinion. Always have.

Always will.”
