Paper 2 Assignment: Analysis Essay with Comparison and Contrast
Below are the guidelines for the assignment.
For Paper 2, write an Analysis of that essay. Although your Analysis will focus primarily on the essay you select, you will also be required to read the other as your essay will have a Comparison and Contrast component (see below).
Immigration. “Trump Crackdown on illegal Immigration Succeeding – America Benefits” by Matt Gaetz
Review the Essay Guidelines below. Your assessment–of the rough draft and the final draft–will be determined by how well you met these guidelines. Further, other assessment criteria will be based on your application of concepts, terms, and skills covered in the lectures and assignments found in the relevant modules.
Structure:
The paper will have a strong title–a strong title is original, creative, and provides a hint of the content and/or thesis.
The paper will have an introduction that contains:
A specific and concrete example to “hook” the reader. That can be a timely news account, an important fact, a personal anecdote–anything as long as it is specific and concrete and transitions well to the topic of the paper.
Bad introductions usually sound like this: Since the beginning of time… OR Recently in class we were discussing… OR Nowadays many people…
Transition from the specific example above, and provide a clear overview of the topic of the paper.
End the introduction with a strong thesis statement–you have to have YOUR OWN position or opinion about the topic.
Do not list in your thesis the different items that will make up your body paragraphs.
All body paragraphs will have:
A clear topic sentence with a useful transitional word or phrase.
The required components of the assignment (analysis, comparison and contrast, etc.)
The first several body paragraphs will discuss the elements below. You can discuss them in pairs or individually.
Subject and Occasion
Speaker and Audience
Tone and Purpose
The last two body paragraphs will introduce the second essay as a means to compare and contrast the elements of Subject, Occasion, Speaker, Audience, Tone, and Purpose.
In one paragraph, explore the similarities and difference .
In another paragraph, explore the strengths and weaknesses of both essays, focusing on three or more of the following: bias, figurative language, diction and connotation, assumptions, generalizations, euphemisms, and doublespeak.
The paper will have a conclusion that closes by returning to the specific example from the introduction, the specific example that launched the entire essay.
Once you are done, you will have an introduction, at least five body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Development of Body Paragraphs:
Use the text/s to provide textual evidence to support your ideas. Do not include researched information.
