rite a 4–5 page (double-spaced) paper on a passage from one of the texts that we have discussed in the course. You may also choose a biblical text that we have not discussed yet.

Write a 4–5 page (double-spaced) paper on a passage from one of the texts that we have discussed in the course. You may also choose a biblical text that we have not discussed yet. You should include issues of race, class, gender, ability, and so on, but the important thing is to describe how the passage works as a literary creation, that is, how does the passage affect you.
You should choose a passage within a larger text, usually about a half chapter, but note:
–If you feel you do not have enough material, you can expand the passage or draw in comparisons (for instance, two different passages in Genesis).
–If you feel that you have too much material, you can narrow your focus (for instance, a single figure or short passage).
–What this means is that you don’t have to choose your section precisely until you are close to finishing your paper.
Many writers (including myself) find it easier to draft too much material and then edit it down to the required size. This allows you to experiment with ideas, combine ideas, and then adapt it to what you want. But don’t go over 5 pages for the paper you turn in.
Art images are welcome, but you should end up with 4–5 pages of text. Give a basic identification of any images you use (for instance, name of artist if known, or source if it is anonymous).
If you are not sure how to insert art images in your document, you can name the art object (for example, Rembrandt, Esther) and I can Google it to see it.
To write this paper, you should begin by describing (briefly!) the place of this passage in the larger text, and then analyze it in terms of literary aspects. Note that this can include theology (for instance, what does the passage say about God) but that is not required.
You should find scholarly resources to help you in understanding the passage. The readings in the syllabus are a good place to start, as are the notes that are in the Study Bible. You should also use the library databases to find articles: JSTOR is the best, but also ATLA Catholic Periodical and Literature Index. You can enter a Bible passage (for example, Genesis 16:1–6) or words in the title, but note that the search may retrieve modern authors named Mark or passages other than 6:1-6. It requires some experimentation. The library also has libguides that may be helpful.
You may have to check out a number of possible articles to find two that are helpful. But the “hunt” is important. The articles should be scholarly, historical articles and not from websites that are simply religion discussion sites hosted by non-scholars. Reviews of books are also helpful because they provide both the views of the book’s author and the views of the reviewer. Provide brief references when you make use of scholarly resources (either classic footnote style or author/date style is fine).
Also, note that you can easily find books in the library on the biblical book that you are studying. There are commentary series that have a book on each book of the Bible, and you can turn to your passage. These are at about BS 100–400 in the library. Individual books on each book in the Bible begin at about BS 1200, and are arranged in the order of the books in the Christian Bible, with Apocrypha between Old and New Testament. So you can start with Genesis at about BS 1200 and walk down the aisle until you reach Ruth, Job, and so on, then Judith and Tobit in Apocrypha, then Mark and 1 Corinthians in New Testament, etc.

Foreign Policy Annotated Bibliography

An Annotated Bibliography is a list of citations (e.g. a Works Cited page, a Bibliography, etc) but after each citation you share a summary paragraph followed by an analysis paragraph. One purpose of these paragraphs is to remind researchers and readers of the relevance, accuracy, quality, etc. of the articles. Another purpose is to help researchers (like yourself) keep track of the many sources you are engaging with during your research. For this assignment find five academic articles (make sure you know the three requirements for the academic label) from the Mid library database that focus on a problem/issue in your field or a closely related field and create a detailed Annotated Bibliography. Present the citations in the documentation style of your field (from your first assignment). Putting in strong effort here means there is potential for you to use these paragraphs in your final Researched Position Paper later in the semester. Both your summary and analysis paragraph should reach 200 words minimum each to avoid deduction. Worth 100 points. (Intellectual Skills: 2, 3; Broad and Integrative Knowledge: 1, 3)

Staffing Memo

After rreading the staffing presentation by Chief King and Chief Nayor, you will consider their perspectives as you are now the Chief of Anytown, USA. Your staffing is operating at about a low of 60% of its budgeting strength. Since you have always made it work, the Mayor and City Council are mulling over the possibility of cutting your recruiting budget by 50% to assist other priorities in the city which means hiring new recruits will be minimal. In fact, when looking at your attrition, you will be at a net loss in terms of the total officers in the department. To make matters worse, the mayor has given you the following priorities:
Create a Homeless Outreach Team that assists not only the homeless but the mentally ill population as well. This team should consist of a Sergeant and six officers.
Change to a 12-hour shift cycle so you have more coverage with less officers.
Reduce the budget of your recruiting unit since you will not be hiring as many new officers.
Crime on the south end of the city has surged, so the mayor wants you to use technology and directed patrols to eliminate these crime issues.
Your job is to author a two-page memo addressed to the mayor citing the need to retain most if not all of your staffing and recruiting budget. Provide specific reasoning to validate your operational decisions. The proposal should be two pages maximum, double-spaced, using standard fonts and margins, and formatted similar to your own department memos.
To understand how your work will be assessed, review the scoring rubric.

Please make sure to use American English (US) words only.

Essay voting rights amendments

A lot has changed over the past 246 years since the birth of our country. Not only can people vote without paying a poll tax, but people of color, women, and 18 year-olds can vote. For that, we can thank the 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

(Each of these amendments has a story. You have addressed the story of the 15th Amendment in your first essay. So, your assignment is to tell me what rights the 19th, 24th and 26th Amendments give and their story in your own words. Why were they fought for and how did they became a part of the U.S. Constitution?)

After you tell me the story of each amendment that affected the status of voting, take a look at what’s happening with state voting laws in the news today. Do you think we need stricter voting laws to ensure fair elections OR do you think changing the voting laws is an attempt to suppress voting? Why? (Please note that this last portion of your essay is your opinion based on what you have learned. There is no right or wrong answer. All that is required is that you learn about new voting laws and form an opinion based on your research.)
