Does your character change by the end of the story?

For this assignment, you will be required to write a 2-3 page (double-spaced) character analysis on a main character from the book “The Rent Collector” written by Cameron Wright.
**Make sure you have an introduction, a minimum of four body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Also, you will need a Works Cited page.
Here are the main characters:
Sang Ly – the story is told from her point of view
Sopeap Sin – the rent collector
You will write about the traits of your chosen character. Remember, traits of a character are revealed through what a character says, thinks, and does. As you read the book, you were asked to think about what the character says, thinks, and does – what do these words, thoughts, and actions say about the character? You were asked to make notes in your text and/or on a separate sheet of paper as you moved through the text so you could provide textual evidence in your analysis. For example, it is not enough to simply say that your chosen character is brave. You must PROVIDE EVIDENCE of this bravery through what the character says, thinks, does. You can provide evidence in the form of direct quotes and/or paraphrases from the text.
You must also discuss if your character is a static character or a dynamic character. Does your character change by the end of the story? If not, why do you think they did not change? If so, how did the character change? So, you will have the introduction, three body paragraphs (each one will discuss a character trait), a paragraph about whether your character is dynamic or static (consider questions above as you write this paragraph, and a conclusion.
Your introduction should contain background information about the story, but be sure that you are not giving TOO MUCH background because the focus of the essay is character analysis, not book summary.

Write a book report on Jane McAlevey’s book, No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age.

Write a book report on Jane McAlevey’s book, No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age. Your book report should be 8-9 typed pages long (double-spaced, one-inch margins). Overall, your book report should focus on the central argument(s) (thesis) of the book followed by a thorough description of evidence presented in the book to back up the author’s claims. In the introduction of the book report, you will identify the author’s thesis and explain it in your own words. You will include a brief introduction of the topic or the summary of the book to provide a meaningful context for the thesis statement. In your Introduction you will also tell the reader the three distinct pieces of evidence or cases—that is, the three chapters from McAlevey, each one is a case—that you will analyze in your report.

In the next section you will analyze the evidence—the three cases. I recommend providing a heading for each section (Ex: The Chicago Teacher’s Strike) to let the reader know in advance what case you are writing about. In these sections you will provide a review of the case and in the process you will engage the author’s central argument, and argue whether the evidence she has provided supports—or does not support—her central claim. You are also encouraged to bring in other concepts and theories we have used throughout the semester—such as disruption—and show how they help illuminate the case.

In the conclusion, provide an overall assessment of the evidence the author provided and whether it backs up the thesis.

The four resources need to include at least two course resources (textbook, topic overviews, the Bible) and at least two other sources from the GCU Library to support your points. Remember, the Bible counts as one resource regardless of how many times you use it or how many verses you cite.

Begin your paper with an appropriate introduction, including a thesis statement to introduce the purpose of the paper. Present the gospel essentials (nature of God, nature of humanity, nature of Jesus, and restoration), the Christian foundation, and an analysis of the implications of the Christian worldview.

Christian Foundation: Summarize how the concepts of the gospel essentials (nature of God, nature of humanity, nature of Jesus, and restoration) constitute the foundation of the Christian worldview. In other words, how are these concepts essential to the Christian worldview?

Analysis of the Implications of the Christian Worldview: Based on the previous five prompts, analyze the implications of the Christian worldview by addressing each of the following questions:
What are the benefits or strengths of the Christian worldview as it relates to human value and dignity?
Compare the Christian concept of salvation in contrast to any other worldview perspective.

Academic conduct notice
Harvard-style referencing needs to be used consistently throughout. Incomplete referencing shall result in reporting the case to the Academic Conduct Officer, who keeps a record of such violations. First offenders may resubmit their papers and may receive 40% at most. Repeated violations of academic standards shall be sanctioned in line with the plagiarism regulations as detailed in the Student Handbook.
Where the Academic Conduct Officer has reason to suspect that a piece of work submitted by a student was wholly or in part written by someone other than the student who submitted it, and this has not been disclosed by the student, they may call for the student to defend the work in a viva or a written comprehension test. The burden of proof in such a viva or test will be upon the student to demonstrate to the examination panel’s satisfaction his/her full comprehension of the work s/he has submitted. Failure to appear without satisfactory explanation will result in immediate failure of that assessment, with consequences of academic misconduct and application of sanctions.
