If you are citing two sources in one sentence, you should cite them like so: (Republic, 143; Wealth of Nations, 356). There is no need for secondary sources.The main concern is an argument that MUST be defined in the first paragraph. This professor is very critical about that, he never gives an “A” grade and the last paper that I’ve ordered by a professional writer was graded as “C-” because of the problem with an argument.The books we are using for this paper are”Plato Republic” translated by G.M.A. Grube revised by C.D.C. Reeve (Hackett Publishing Company, INC Indianapolis/Cambridge)”An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith (both vol 1 and 2) edited by R. H. Campbell and A. S.

In a response of 150 words to 200 words, please explain the differences between various types of interest groups such as economic interest groups (i.e. business interest groups, manufacturing interest groups, agricultural interest groups, and public employee unions). What has been the role of environmental interest groups such as the Sierra Club, the Nature Conservancy, the Wilderness Society, and the Environmental Defense Fund? What fight did the Sierra Club wage and lose during the tenure of its first president, John Muir? Do interest groups of professionals fully reflect or represent all of the members of that particular profession (i.e. lawyers, doctors, nurses, etc.)? Do you feel the American Bar Association should have so much power in determining the relative merits of law schools (i.e. certifying them as Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 A.B.A. certified law schools)? Can one receive a similar level of education at a non-A.B.A. certified law school such as San Joaquin College of Law, and if so why? Alternatively, what role do public interest groups serve? For instance, what does the A.C.L.U. (American Civil Liberties Union) or the League of Women Voters do or provide for average citizens? What are some of the goals or aspirations of the non-partisan interest group Common Cause? Have they achieved some of those goals (i.e. removing troops from South Vietnam for instance)? What goals are they currently working on (stripping governors of the power to fill vacancies in the U.S. Senate for instance)? What contributions have consumer rights groups like Public Citizen by Ralph Nader provided to the American consumer? For instance, would you feel safe driving a Chevrolet Corvair after Nader’s book Unsafe at Any Speed?

It is often a good idea to begin with a quote from your artifact, then start the introduction by unpacking the quote or saying “So and so said this in X year  when _ a little bit about context____.” Underline your thesis statement!-Description – In this section you want to write a description of the text.  Remember to study the text closely! Slow down and sit with it a long time, reflecting on it. Look over it MULTIPLE times.What is the goal of the artifact? What is the rhetor trying to do? What is its purpose?What is the context of the artifact? What was going on at the time? Who was in the audience? Look for evidence in the text that helps you understand the audience: what statements does the rhetor make that demonstrate awareness of the audience? How does the discourse select or target an audience? Who is included? Who is alienated? What do the rhetor’s appeals tell you about the audience? How does the discourse empower the audience?Is it similar to other messages of the time? Is it a response to a certain situation? Who is the rhetor? What do we need to know about them to understand this piece?What do you notice immediately? What do you remember about the message? What was surprising? What topics are covered? Whatkinds of questions does it bring up in your mind? You should do research into the context.-Analysis – In this section you want to write an analysis of the text. How does it achieve the purpose that you described?Persona: the role or roles a rhetor takes on for strategic purposes. This creates or contributes to the speaker’s ethos or credibility. For example: the president may enact the role of commander-in-chief, moral/spiritual leader of the nation, prophet, teacher/authority on U.S. history, etc. depending on the circumstance. Ask yourself: how does this discourse create an identity for the speaker? What does this discourse tell me about the character of the speaker?-Tone: the linguistic elements that suggest the rhetor’s attitude toward the audience and subject matter. Tone is found in the stylistic qualities of the discourse. Some words used to describe tone are personal, direct, ironic, satirical, sympathetic, angry, bitter, intense, scholarly, dogmatic, distant, condescending, tough, sweet, realistic, euphemistic, incisive, elegant, etc. Your description of the tone should accurately reflect the language used in the discourse you are studying. Also consider whether the discourse is abstract or concrete, colloquial or technical. Are the sentences long or short? Complex or simple?Structure: the form of the discourse, the method by which it unfolds, and the nature of its movement. Consider whether it seems to be narrative-dramatic, historical-chronological, cause-effect, problem-solution, effect-cause, topical, spatial, or taxonomical. Any combination of these structural elements can be found in a speech. Try outlining the speech in order to better understand its structure.What other devices do you notice in the text? Do not leave anything out! Hyperbole, personification, metaphor, simile, rhyming, alliteration, anaphora, epistrophe, imagery, allusion, etc.-Conclusion – conclusion should summarize the paper and give a sense of finality.You might use the above to start an outline or concept map!Remember: Use your professional voice! Write like it is a research paper for a journal. Avoid using contractions (can’t, won’t, don’t).
