analytic essay on stephen jay gould writing

Was told to rewrite paper with more quotations. Rewrite introduction with quotation and be more specific. Only source to be used is the book listed below and I uploaded pdf of the chapters to be used. Quotations will need page number according to the pdf. Goulds writings are are non-fictions essays.

Here is the original instructions:

Write an analytical essay that explains to your reader how one recognizes Gould’s unique writing voice. In doing so, you should try to, very briefly, touch on the rhetorical terms that are covered in the first two chapters in A Rhetoric of Argument (Ethos, Pathos, Logos) however, the majority of vour paper should be structured around the characteristics of his writing. In addition, vou will be including quotations and paraphrases from his essays to illustrate your points. You must refer to at least three of the essays to show typicality. You need not read beyond what we will read in Modern American Prose, but you do want to come up with a solid thesis and defend it with the texts we have read. Include atleast 5 quotations with page numbers.

The three writing style to talk about in the essay is:

1. Long quotations
2. Subjects are in 19th century
3. Precise vocabulary/Use of big words

You should critique (positively and negatively) the ways in which he chooses to present his arguments. Does the style work for you, or does it have flaws? Remember that Gould is writing for a specific audience and he defines that audience in “Prologue.” The bigger question is whether this works for the audience he hopes will read his work. Need neither approve of nor appreciate Gould’s writing, but you do need to demonstrate careful analysis, treat the topic appropriately, present your points skillfully, and hold my attention.

Only use this book for the essay:
Use chapter seven in the book Modern American Prose: Fifteen Writer +15 by John Clifford and Robert DiYanni. Use the essays “Prologue”, “Flaws in a Victorian Veil”, “Women’s Brains”, and “ Evolution as Fact and Theory”.

Compare two or more political neophytes (amateurs, people who’ve never before held high public office ) winning elections and examine their legacy in office.

Write your paper in response to the topic below. Be sure to introduce and briefly summarize the relevant text in your introduction. Remember that you’ll be advancing an idea or set of ideas you have about how the reading(s) develops themes or values which are also of importance to our lives out here, outside the text.

Be sure to link your ideas in the body of your essay to textual details which show where you’re deriving your ideas from—“show how you know, what you know.” Related to this, remember that quotes are not self-explanatory: you’ll need to explain to your reader why they mean what you say they do.

Compare two or more political neophytes (amateurs, people who’ve never before held high public office ) winning elections and examine their legacy in office.
First-time office holders (i.e, “amateur” politicians, some of them celebrities). Compare the California governorship of former body-builder Arnold Schwarzenegger to the governorship of former body-builder, wrestler, Navy Seal, etc. Jesse Venture of Minnesota. Or to Donald Trump. Or consider comedian later Senator Al Franken, or former President Ronald Reagan. Or to the president of the Ukraine, or the president of France (Macron). Or pick other first time office holder, and of course you are not limited to those in the U.S.! Your theme is notable first time office holders. Evaluate their goal/aims and the local and national response. Suggestion: introduce your topic by acknowledging the ways in which they are apparently alike; focus your thesis and the body of your paper in examining how what they said or did in office, or say they will do in office, and their political legacy, differs. Consider also the question of non-expert or ‘amateur’ citizen statesman ascending to policy-making power and office: what are the risks and potential benefits of this for the voters?

Q1 From Conquest to Repatriation: Rebuilding Mexican American Communities (This will be the one to be worked on NOT Q2 that is show in one of the attachements)

After the U.S. government declared war on Mexico, California became a part of U.S. conquest. Land once granted to Mexicans under Mexico-governed California were no longer observed under U.S. governed-California. The gold rush drew hundreds of thousands of new migrants that outnumbered and racially targeted Mexicans. Still, Mexican migration continued steadily into the 1910s and 1920s and formed communities that participated in progressive movements. By the 1930s, Mexican Americans developed a number of strategies to improve their economic standing, but faced the onset of the Great Depression. How did Mexican Americans and Mexican migrants’ strategies for defending and rebuilding their communities change to meet the shifting political terrains of the Gold Rush (1850s-1870s), Progressive Era (1910s-1920s), and Great Depression (1930s)? Use three secondary and three primary sources to support your thesis.

Science, Technology and Society critically writing

Term papers should be substantial pieces of analysis and criticism. They should not simply report, summarize, or review course materials (although you may draw from class presentations, discussions, and readings). Term papers should demonstrate thoughtful reflection, and evaluation, and should embody a critical and conceptual argument in which various angles of the question are explored in fairness and at length. In this respect, they differ from the argument summaries, which did not involve critique.

Pick a genetic disorder that is a result of a single-trait

Pick a genetic disorder that is a result of a single-trait. Find articles that answer questions concerning your chosen type of genetic disorder. This assignment will help you organize the sources that you will use in the Unit VI Research Paper. An annotated bibliography consists of two parts: the reference section in APA format, followed by the summary for that reference.
Your sources should address the following topics to be included in the Unit VI Research Paper:
What is a single-trait genetic disorder?
Describe the single-trait genetic disorder you selected.
State whether it is a dominant or recessive disorder.
State whether it is sex-linked or autosomal recessive disorder.

Create an annotated bibliography following the structure given in the example:
Annotated Bibliography example
Find four to six current sources (published within the last 5 years).

Your annotated bibliography must be at least two pages in length. You will not be writing the actual research paper in this unit. You will just be creating and submitting an annotated bibliography.
