As Shakespeare represents it, what kind of death does Hamlet die? In other words, what values (heroic, rebellious, devoutly religious, despairing, and so on) does Hamlet affirm in this last scene and in the moments before his death? “answer the question directly and support your answer with analysis of relevant textual passages”

Emma is a comic novel that yet makes a serious point about self-knowledge and its sometimes painful acquisition. How does this relate to the film?  How seriously does the film take itself? Focus on the comedic aspect. How does the humor work. Select a speech by one of the characters and cite it within the book and break it down.  Sources Jane Austen, Emma. 1816. Ed. James Kinsley. Oxford World’s Classics Clueless. 1995. Dir. Amy Heckerling Do not plagiarize Wikipedia (or anything else). Outside sources are by no means forbidden, but you could write a good paper entirely using your own thoughts and reactions. Use your own words. We will know if you use an article and go off of that.

Analyze this play in terms of moral criticism and dramatic construction. Plato believed that the arts should serve one purpose: to “teach piety and virtue,” otherwise all the artists (playwrights, in this case) are doing is creating “a mediocre reproduction of nature” that ends up eroding the culture. In the case of Dunbar-Nelson’s play, what would Plato think? Is she teaching morality and ethics? Or is she depicting the “appearance of men” that is corrupting to the audience?  Then, in looking at Aristotle’s theories, consider whether this play is effective or ineffective in arousing an emotional response in the audience. Note whether or not there is a cathartic aspect to that emotional response. What are the elements of drama that contribute to, or detract from, its effectiveness?

I. Introduction and Statement of Purpose  • Briefly describe what the study was about in about one paragraph; however, avoid getting into too much detail. Subsequent sections will be used to address further details about the study.  • What was the author’s or authors’ general purpose for carrying out this study? Keep in mind there may be more than one purpose.    II. Theoretical Assumptions and Thesis/Hypothesis  • Briefly describe the theoretical assumption(s) associated with the proposed thesis/hypothesis (or hypotheses). Be very clear if there are multiple hypotheses, and utilize appropriate subheadings if needed.  • What is the thesis provided (hint: look for the proposed hypothesis)? Please note, there may be more than one hypothesis (i.e., multiple hypotheses).    III. Methods  • Relatively briefly, but thoroughly, describe the main aspects of the study methodology.  • Be sure to include information regarding: the study design, participants (e.g., who were they, how were they recruited, how many were there?), variables of interest (i.e., independent, dependent, and other showcased variables), data collection process (i.e., what was the timeframe of the data collection, what data collection instruments were used, were the instruments reliable and valid, what was done with the data?), and operational definitions of key terms if necessary.    IV. Results  • What were the major findings of the study, especially in relation to the thesis/hypothesis?  • Was the hypothesis supported or not supported? (If there were multiple hypotheses, be sure to address each one).  • What other important statistical relationships were found?    V. Assessment of the Study and Limitations  • What was your impression of how the author(s) conducted the study?  • Did the methodology seem appropriate? Whether your answer is “yes” or “no”; be sure to justify your answer (a simple yes or no answer will not suffice). Could the study design have been improved? Is there anything you would have done differently?  • What were the stated limitations of the study?

Answer the following question from “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” What is the tone of the poem? In what way is it especially appropriate for this subject?

In a talk given at TEDGlobal in 2011, Richard Wilkinson, an epidemiologist who studies the well-being of societies, pointed out that “[t]he average well-being of our societies is not dependent any longer on national income and economic growth. That’s very important in poorer countries, but not in the rich developed world. But the differences between us and where we are in relation to each other now matter very much.”–Richard Wilkinson, TEDGlobal 2011, “How Economic Inequality Harms Societies” In a talk given at TED in 2012, Bryan Stevenson, a lawyer who has argued numerous cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, argued this: “Ultimately, you judge the character of a society, not by how they treat the rich and the powerful and the privileged, but by how they treat the poor, the condemned, the incarcerated. Because it’s in that nexus that we actually begin to understand truly profound things about who we are.”–Bryan Stevenson, TED2012, “We Need to Talk about an Injustice” In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, societal inequalities have become increasingly evident. Given this, your research essay assignment invites you to examine how this pandemic has exposed social and economic inequalities in the U.S. Here is what you need to do: RESEARCH and EXPLAIN one aspect of social inequality. For example, you could examine inequalities in health care or education, work or other economic insecurity, or inequality caused by structural racism. CONNECT your findings to what we are witnessing (and many of us are experiencing) in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic shutdowns and stay-at-home orders. REFLECT on how your views have changed or developed in light of this research. What will you do now that you know what you know? Is there a solution that you can offer? Argue for that solution. Be sure you ADDRESS IMPORTANT OPPOSING ARGUMENTS in order to strengthen your argument. (NOTE: You are not required to do the items on the above bulleted list in this exact order.) Accuracy and completeness of understanding of the ideas contained in the sources and ideas you are responding to and analyzing Defensible and interesting thesis statement Development of ideas, use of pertinent examples, convincing explanations Ability to reason with and explain the ideas being dealt with Logical essay structure, leading reader from one idea to the next Readability and correctness of prose Documentation of sources and correct citation format for those sources

For your final paper, you’re going to build on many of the foundational principles we’ve discussed over the course of the semester in 3 distinct phases. Read this webpage and watch the video embedded there: SWOT ANALYSIS LINK: https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTMC_05_1.htm  (Links to an external site.) Phase 1: Your culminating activity will involve determining your major goal(s) for the next 1, 5, and 10 years as they pertain to your career path. Obviously, your career path will impact and also be impacted by elements of your personal life, so it is permissible to bring personal circumstances into the discussion. However, make sure to keep the overall focus on how your career life path is a central component to your future aspirations. You may choose 1 major goal to discuss for each year of your plan or several goals for each year–that decision is yours to make. Write your goal(s) with the S.M.A.R.T. goal method. Phase 2: Once you determine your goal(s), you will then conduct a SWOT analysis (as we discussed in class) to determine the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats you may experience as you work to achieve your goal(s). Strengths and Weaknesses are internal characteristics (think of family/friend support, skills and abilities, educational level, etc.) to consider, while Opportunities and Threats are external factors (think of changing technology, the economy, political influences, global security, etc.). Please view the video in the link below and read the corresponding article, then use the attached document as a template for creating your own SWOT analysis worksheet (if it’s easier, you can create your own SWOT table in the Word document for your paper by making a table with 4 boxes–2 rows, 2 columns). You will conduct 1 SWOT analysis for each year of the plan (1 ,5, and 10 years) for a total of 3 SWOT analysis worksheets. When filling out the worksheets, you do not need to write paragraphs and sentences. Simply describing your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats as bullet points in each box will be sufficient. See the SWOT Worksheet here: SWOT Analysis Chart – Career Management.docx Phase 3A: (1 single-spaced page for each year; 3 written pages total) In narrative form, describe each part of your SWOT analysis for the given year in more detail. You will do this for each year (1, 5, and 10) of the plan. For example, consider the following types of questions: How can you use the strengths/opportunities to overcome the weaknesses/threats? How can you maximize the strengths/opportunities and minimize the weaknesses/threats? Knowing your weaknesses/threats, what can you do to overcome these challenges? Which of these factors: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, or Threats will play the most significant role in the journey towards your goals…Why? Based on the results of your SWOT analysis, what action steps can you take to help you achieve your goals? Phase 3B: (a couple of sentences at the end of the narrative for each year) Lastly, for each year describe one step you can take that may be daunting or scary, but you would be willing to attempt to help you achieve your larger goal(s). Think of it as a calculated risk. (Remember our discussion about not letting fear getting the better of you in your career decision making). This part only has to be a couple of sentences (what is the step you can take and how can it help you achieve your goal).  Overall, the format of your paper should look like this: Year #1 1. S.M.A.R.T. Goal(s): listed at top of the page (Phase 1) 2. Narrative: (Phases 3A & 3B, 1 single-spaced page long) 3. SWOT Analysis Worksheet (Phase 2) (separate page) Year #5 1. S.M.A.R.T. Goal(s): listed at top of the page (Phase 1) 2. Narrative: (Phases 3A & 3B, 1 single-spaced page) 3. SWOT Analysis Worksheet (Phase 2) (separate page) Year #10 1. S.M.A.R.T. Goal(s): listed at top of the page (Phase 1) 2. Narrative: (Phases 3A & 3B, 1 single-spaced page) 3. SWOT Analysis Worksheet (Phase 2) (separate page) Please include everything in one single Word or PDF document and upload it to Canvas. Your paper will consist of 3 written pages of narrative (1 single-spaced written page for each year) and 3 SWOT analyses (1 worksheet for each year).  Please use the following format: 12 point font Single-spaced 1-inch margins
