Analysis (800 words)
Example if using God/Devil Terms theory: each element below would have its own headings, and each analysis section would be 200ish+ words.
This is an example of how you should answer the following referring to the thesis above:
ranscendence: Beauty is the pathway to financial success
Transcendence: Beauty is the way to personal success
Devil Terms: Lack of beauty means struggling financially
Devil Terms: Lack of beauty means struggling for personal success
Implications (150 words, 10 points)
Answer the “so what?” question. Why this study matters.
For example, an elaboration on beauty as a capitalistic manifestation, particularly in the growing unhealthy expectations in the modeling industry as the female body is becoming thinner and thinner.
Please don’t lose focus on what your thesis would be. The thesis should set a strong foundation so you can tie your paper all throughout.
Avoid repeating words and please use transition words or phrases to keep the flow of the paper.
