Academic Opinion Essay Specifics
For four of the required books for this course, you will be required to write an opinion essay that evaluates designated sections of the texts. The Academic Opinion Essays will be based on the books assigned as course readings. Note that the point of the opinion essays is to discuss your personal reaction to the book – what you felt about it, what you liked and didn’t like, and why. These essays are not intended to be an objective analysis of the book, but rather a purely personal reaction to it. The purpose of these assignments is to help students understand and identify the degree to which their own personal reaction to a book influences their analysis of it.
These essays are to be relatively brief – a minimum of 500 words, and a maximum of 750 words. They are not research papers – that is, there is no need for a bibliography or citations (unless you quote directly from the book or reference other books). In order to provide some additional guidance, as background, I have attached a copy of Dziennik’s (peer-reviewed) 2017 commentary on The Fatal Land: War, Empire, and the Highland Soldier in British America. This is the general, academic format your essay should follow. Do not overthink this assignment – again, there are no right or wrong opinions – and if you follow the general approach of the Dziennik piece – not the column format, of course, normal essay formatting – you should be fine.
