For the ultimate assessment, the essay is what you are getting evaluated on. The big question is: Scholars have long debated whether there is a clear epistemological break between Karl Marx’s writings that he produced when he was young, before ~1845, when he was 27 years old, and his later writings. Other scholars have noticed the difference in his writings but argue that there is not such a rigid break. Instead, Marx’s later concepts have been continuously developed from his early thoughts. Which argument do you agree with and why? You can answer this any way you want.
Your argument will include analyses of themes supported by your findings. For instance, if you are arguing that there was a continuous development of Marx’s thoughts, you might want to pick two themes you see in both of his works/sets of charts and discuss their development. If you are arguing for a rigid break, try to find at least two themes that are in one set of writings but not the other. You will also need to use quotes from the textbook and/or pictures of comics in the graphic novel to support your argument.
