Write a literary analysis essay on the novel Sula by Toni Morrison.

Discussion Question #4
(This film is available on Kanopy)
EX MACHINA
The film EX MACHINA was released as an Indie film in 2014. With a budget of just $15 million dollars, it was a hit on the Indie circuit, earning a total of $36 million. As a point of reference, the film X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST was released that same year with a budget of $225 million. Chapter 3 talks at some length about genre. EX MACHINA director and writer Alex Garland created a story that definitely lives in the Science Fiction genre… but he did so by making the film look as realistic as possible. The one exception, of course, is the character Ava and her AI sisters. With that said, this film won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects, despite its miniscule budget. Garland was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay.
Please respond thoroughly to ONE of the following prompts:
1) What themes are being explored in this film? Which elements of Cinematic Language reinforce those themes? Do any narrative or visual patterns recur a sufficient number of times to suggest a structural element in themselves? If so, what are these patterns? Reference specific scenes and elements of Cinematic Language and don’t forget to timestamp.
2) Our focus in this section has been on genre. Although this is clearly a Science Fiction film, it also features a lot of imagery from the natural world. How do those visual work with the Sci-Fi elements? Why? How would you classify this film in terms of genre? What elements of Cinematic Language support your classification? Reference specific scenes and shots in your response and don’t forget to timestamp.
PLEASE ANSWER ALL ELEMENTS OF THE PROMPT YOU CHOOSE AND REMEMBER TO FOCUS YOUR COMMENTS ON CINEMATIC LANGUAGE RATHER THAN STORY
Content Warning: this film has adult language, brief nudity, and brief violence.
Please take some time to consider your response before you answer. These Discussion Questions should be written with proper grammar and spelling and should reflect a depth of thought appropriate for a college course. As always, half the grade comes from responding to another student’s answer. Only one is required, but the more of a discussion it becomes, the more useful and interesting this exercise will be.

Instructions: This paper MUST address and encompass each of the five stated learning
objectives:
1) Classify and provide a framework for understanding the policymaking process (formulation,
implementation, and modification of health policy in the US);
2) Describe and analyze the interaction of social, political, and economic forces in shaping

including websites, electronic journals, print journals and books.

I have completed the assignment and relative information. I just need a rewrite on my reflection, editing and APA formating. I tip well if all of rubric met! I have attached the work. Below are directions from professor.

USE TEMPLATE FOR YOUR MCH DATA TABLES
Template outline to complete tables: MCH Indicators Assignment Download MCH Indicators Assignment
Change or delete words in blue or blue italic and replace them with your information/data
MCH Data table
Change table headings to reflect your county and your state
View example table in the template provided above
Clearly indicate the year and source for each cell as superscript followed by a brief citation in a Key under your table. See the example table above.
All of the citations used for your table must be included on your APA reference page.
Superscripts should be in alphabetical order in the cells from left to right. To create a superscript in Word, highlight the text you want to change to a superscript, click the superscript button (looks like x exponent 2). It is located in the Home tab, in the font group.
Use lower case letters in your table key for citations from the same source and year. This will enable you to differentiate references from the same source and year.
MMR: Unless you live in a very large city (New York, LA, Detroit, etc.) you are not likely to find the MMR for your county. For that cell, please insert N/A*. Then, in the key, list two credible sources where you searched unsuccessfully for that data. Do not try to calculate your county’s MMR. The denominator is too small.

2. County/Local Health Disparity Table
Identify a local MCH disparity by displaying a correlation between one local demographic factor and one poorly performing local MCH indicator.
Identify a local (your county) MCH indicator (one of the 4–IMR, PTB, LBW, or EAPNC) that will be the one that is performing most poorly based either in the table or in disparity data that you find. Please do not use MMR as a local disparity.
Identify one subpopulation in your community that has the poorest outcomes for your chosen MCH indicator. This could be but is not limited to race, ethnicity, income level, maternal age, maternal education, marital status, smoking, substance use disorder, maternal pregestational obesity, etc. (If your health disparity is not one of these, consider checking with your course faculty).
Search for evidence that a certain population of women has poorer outcomes than the general population for a particular indicator. This documented difference is then considered a health disparity in your community.
You must compare the data of your targeted sub-population to similar sub-populations to document that there is a disparity within your target group.
Example County MCH Indicator: High rates of low birth weight babies.
Example subpopulation with increased LBW: maternal age-teen mothers
If you suspect that teen pregnancies are associated with low birth weight then your documentation would include:
low birth weight rate for people age 15-19
low birth weight rate for people age 20-29, 30-39, and 40 and above.
What if you are aware of a high percentage of a social demographic factor in your community but cannot find the data to show a correlation to a poorly performing MCH indicator in your county?
This problem might arise for those who live in small or rural communities with lower population. If you cannot find a disparity for an MCH indicator in your county, you can create a disparity table with data from your state. Your table will be the same as the sample table in the template, however instead of having a column for data in your local community (county) the column will be for data from your state. Make sure to choose a subpopulation that exists within your county. For example, don’t share data that American Indian people have a higher rate of preterm birth in your state if you don’t have an American Indian population in your county.
Example:
County MCH indicator: Low Birth Weight (LBW)
Performs the most poorly based on your table (even if lower than national or HP2030 goal)
Suspected disparity (your theory): LBW disparity for teens
You think there may be a link but can’t find local stats on teen pregnancy and LBW. Use state data to show that teen pregnancy is associated with increased rates of LBW at the state level. From that you can infer that teens in your local county will also have a higher risk of LBW.
3. Response
Considering what you’ve learned in assignment 6, respond to these questions in 1 paragraph. All information should be factual (if you are guessing or assuming you should say so) and data (with citation) should be used when it supports your statements.
Based on the data you collected, what is the most concerning MCH indicator from table 1 in your community? Why?
What did you learn from your MCH disparity table? Why did you choose this disparity?
Looking at the data and considering the information you gathered from Assignment 5, what social and/or structural factors may contribute to this disparity in your community?

Writing Portfolio Part Two (O) Deadline: February 17 (8 pm Ottawa time)
Purpose: To practice your skill in writing a well-structured paragraph in which present your opinion clearlyon an assigned topic. This is a task which is similar to one you would do when writing a short answer question on an exam in subject-matter courses (i.e., psychology).
Task:
Step 1 Read the following two articles. Below are the links to the articles online. There are also pdf copies of these articles posted in Brightspace.
Article 1
Mind-controlled robots now one step closer. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/12/211216150201.htm
Article 2
How meditation can help you make fewer mistakes. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/11/191111124637.htm
Step 2 Write opinion paragraphs about the two articles you have chosen. This means that you will be writing one paragraph about one article and one paragraph about the second article. Write between 250 and 300 words for each paragraph.
What do you include in your paragraphs?
You are writing about your point of view on the topic; do not discuss whether you think the article is well written. This is not a critique of the author or the format of the article. For this assignment, you are not writing a summary paragraph.
In following the structure of a well-formed paragraph, the topic sentence you write gives the main idea of the paragraph (i.e., your overall opinion). The next sentences relate to the topic sentence by providing support for your opinion with details from the article; you may wish to include details from other articles. Be sure to include ideas and details which support your opinion. You may find that a sentence may be needed to summarize in general terms the content of the article is needed.
Please note that when you use ideas from any article, you must provide a reference for the article and author. For this, you need to include ‘in text’ citations. This means that when you include the idea(s) from someone else in your own words, you indicate who the author is immediately after the sentence where the idea appears.
Example:
Indeed, there are many perspectives on how a newcomer might be treated in Canada. McHayle indicates that there are many ways to understand Canadian views towards newcomers (McHayle, 2021).
For ‘in test’ citations, you need to include a reference list at the end of your document in which has the complete bibliographic reference for the McHayle 2021 article. Please use the format you use most in your field of study (i.e., MLA, APA, Chicago).

Evaluation:
Each paragraph needs to be well-structured. Each paragraph will be evaluated for the follow:
· Content – reference to article; opinion; relevant supporting ideas.
· Structure of paragraph – (topic sentence, coherence/cohesive devices, concluding sentence).
· Accuracy of grammar, including punctuation and complete sentences.
· Use of own phrasing and accurate use of relevant vocabulary for the topic. A rubric will be posted for this assignment.
How do you submit your assignment?
Submit your two paragraphs in Word files, not pdf files. With a Word document, feedback and edits can be inserted to guide you in your writing. Use Times Roman, 12pt.
Submit your assignment through the Writing Portfolio – Part 2 assignment portal.

“Why Not Let 9 Dreamers into U.S.?” by Ruben Navarrette, CNN. August 8,2013 http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/07/opinion/navarrette-dream/index.html?iref=allsearch (Links to an external site.)

Consider this article about the “Dreamers,” the name given to young advocates for a pathway to U.S. citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. Their goals include obtaining education, employment, and full status as citizens of the U.S. It is estimated at this time (2013) that there are nearly 11 million undocumented migrants in the U.S.

Respond to the following questions. This assignment should be NO LESS than 300 WORDS. Include citations to the text and/or website, a title page, and a reference page. Must include at least one citation.

What are the most pertinent questions that arise about immigration to the U.S.?
Should there be a pathway for children of undocumented immigrants to be able to naturalize and receive all the benefits of citizenship?
What suggestions would you have for a policy to incorporate “Dreamers” into America or would you?
What are some of the potential arguments for and against naturalizing?
What would be the cultural, economic, and social effects of each outcome?

Write an essay in which you take a position on whether or not it is better to sit all day or stand all day.

Discuss the “wisdom of crowds” and apply this perspective to reviews one might find on sites such as Yelp or Trip Advisor. Which do you trust more: the reviews of fellow travelers or the opinions of travel experts? Explain your choice.
Consider how general economic conditions affect the way consumers allocate their money. Explain how confidence in the future, as well as in the overall economy, determines how freely people spend and the types of products they buy. How do travel sites such as the ones discussed in this case assist consumers in making sound economic decisions?

The classic definition of a tragic hero is a character who is basically good but who possesses a tragic flaw that leads to his or her destruction. In Death of a Salesman, what flaw or flaws in Willie Loman could be considered in that way?

Work to narrow down your topic to a specific phenomenon or problem whose causes or effects can be addressed in 3 to 4 pages. For example, attempting to discuss the possible causes of domestic violence would be way too broad for this assignment. Instead of focusing on domestic violence, you might narrow down your topic to examining the reasons why women convicted of violent crimes receive longer prison sentences than men, for instance, or the results of batterer rehabilitation programs.

Grading Criteria:

Success with Genre: Does your essay include the important features of a causal? Do you describe the causes or effects of the issue you are investigating? Do you discuss the stakes?
