The Done Dead Literary Analysis Topics
Choose one topic from this list and write a literary analysis essay of 3—5 pages. You must use at least three direct quotes (however, the essay should be composed of LESS THAN 10% direct quotes) in the essay itself, and you should refer to the text with specific examples and references throughout the essay (end of sentence citation with page number). Your essay must have an introduction that contains a thesis statement, an essay map. Your introduction must also refer to the author and the title of the book. The focus of this essay is a comparison between subjects related to the short stories. You need to focus on at least three comparisons or contrasts.
You need a minimum of an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Remember that this is not a plot summary or a book report. You are focusing on specific aspects of the stories and exploring those particular ideas. DO NOT WRITE THIS LIKE A BOOK REPORT!!!! Your job is not to re-tell the story or to share your feelings about the book itself. You do not need to critique the book in this paper (so sentences like “This was a very interesting story” do not need to be included and will negatively impact your grade). Essays not written on one of the following topics will not be graded. At the top of your page with your heading list the number of the question you are answering. Do NOT use outside sources, only the novel as your source. Additionally, you must give credit for quotes, paraphrases, or ideas that come from the novel by using quote marks and end of sentence citations.

TEACHER INSTRUCTIONS:

Prompt: Compile the ideas you have gathered from the sources (three database articles plus the one from the reader) into a 6-8 page research essay that demonstrates how this issue is problematic and significant. (Remember- you should have already submitted a research proposal. Make sure you read my comments on your proposal. If you did not submit a proposal you need to do so asap. I won’t grade your paper without an approved proposal.) Make sure to argue your position on this issue. You must present at least one perspective that differs from your own. You have two purposes: one is to inform the reader- use evidence that will demonstrate how your topic is significant and problematic. Another purpose is to persuade us of your position by making a claim of solution: what are you recommending? What do you believe should happen? Use evidence to help persuade us that goes beyond your personal opinion by showing what others are doing. This paper should read like a paper for a humanities class; this isn’t a science or social class. In other words, make sure you have a point of view.

Must include ALL 3 types of evidence throughout the essay:
1. Direct quotation: Use direct quotes for several reasons. All direct quotations must be cited with in-text parenthetical citations.
When the writer has phrased something so well, that you want to show off their original words
When we need to see exact words, positive or negative, of either the writer or someone quoted in the article.
When you need to give exact information, such as statistics, data.
2. Paraphrase: A paraphrase is rephrasing a sentence or two of the original text in your own words, preserving the meaning. A direct quotation isn’t necessary. You can use synonyms or change the order of ideas. Paraphrases mean you are still using evidence from the source, and so it must be cited with in-text parenthetical citations.

3. Summary: Use a summary when the article has a lot of information in several paragraphs. You can’t cover it all, so you have to condense the information into a summary. Use only the main points. A summary should be 10-25% of the original length. Don’t summarize too much- several pages, the entire article. This summary must still be cited with in-text parenthetical citations.

STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS:

The files uploaded below will consist of these things:
The article from the reader titled “Generation Stress: The Mental Health Crisis on Campus”
The other 3 database articles required are titled “Anxiety, depression, and suicidal spectrum: a latent class analysis of overlapping and distinctive features”, “Anxious, but not depressive, symptoms are associated prospective memory performance in healthy college students: Preliminary evidence using the tripartite model of anxiety and depression”, and “Perceived Social Support as Moderator of Perfectionism, Depression, and Anxiety in College Students”
My approved research proposal so you have an idea of what to write about (feel free to add more main points to the essay if necessary). Her comments on the submitted proposal were “Sounds like you have a strong understanding of why this topic matters. Look for current solutions of how colleges/universities are trying to help”.
A sample student research paper that she gave us for reference on how to cite correctly, and what she is looking for exactly. The separate works cited page does not add to the paper length, so please do that page on the 8th page.
And last but not least a TURNITIN Report of no plagiarism please, thank you so much for everything!

As a nurse, how often have you thought to yourself, If I had anything to do about it, things would work a little differently? Increasingly, nurses are beginning to realize that they do, in fact, have a role and a voice.
Many nurses encounter daily experiences that motivate them to take on an advocacy role in hopes of impacting policies, laws, or regulations that impact healthcare issues of interest. Of course, doing so means entering the less familiar world of policy and politics. While many nurses do not initially feel prepared to operate in this space effectively, the reward is the opportunity to shape and influence future health policy.
