Write a 10-page letter (2500 words) to Vice President Kamala Harris in response to the questions:
Of the different representations of the Juárez femicides, we studied this quarter, three books (Desert Blood: The Juarez Murders” by Alicia Gaspar de Alba, “The Daughters of Juarez: A True Story of Serial Murder South of the Border” by Teresa Rodriguez and Diane Montané, and “Terrorizing Women: Feminicide in the Americas” by Rosa-Linda Fregoso and Cynthia Bejarano) and three films (Bordertown by Gregory Nava, El Traspatio/The Backyard Film by Carlos Carrera, and Maquilapolis Documentary Film by Vicky Funari and Sergio De La Torre) do you think most accurately convey the 30-year herstory of these crimes, and tell the story of the femicides, as well as the struggle for social justice for the victims and their families?
How much did you know about this 30-year crime wave of brutally murdered Mexican, Central American, and indigenous women in Juárez?
What most shocked or surprised you in these materials?
What most stirred you to learn more or want to take action?
In your conclusion, advocate for what you think needs to be done to help put an end to the social apathy that continues to mire these crimes in silence north of the border. What First World resources and legislation are needed to stop the perpetrators and promote social justice for the poor, brown women of the U.S.-Mexico border?
In your letter, you should begin by saying something about yourself and the reason you’re writing to her: to persuade her to learn more about the Juárez femicides which have been going on since 1993 and have taken the lives of thousands of young Mexican women and girls, many of whom come to get low-paying jobs at factories owned by American companies that make American consumer goods. You can then go on to write up the assignment as described, but keep in mind that you are writing to a real person from a real person. In your conclusion, reiterate the impact that learning this information in our class has had on you and urge her to take action.

Reminder when writing the letter, think about why Kamala Harris needs to read or/and watch these films (raise awareness). You may also make a commentary on Biden’s recent visit to the border of Juarez (give your opinion if it was helpful or not).

Be sure to cite your sources correctly within the text and to provide a correctly formatted bibliography in MLA format.

I have included a word document with summaries and representations of the Juarez murders for the books and films. These summaries are from a blog page so please do not copy them. They can be used to help you with ideas on what to write.

I have also included a sample from a classmate of what she has written so far to give you an idea. She hasn’t answered the questions in the instructions but it is an idea of how she’s gotten started. At the very end, I have included short responses to the questions to get a personal feel for me.

I have attached the three PDFs for the books to use as well as other books and articles we used to reference and cite. NO OUTSIDE SOURCES OR REFERENCES. ONLY USE WHAT IS PRESENTED IN THE UPLOADS.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE REACH OUT. THANK YOU.

My Essay question is : Examine the relationship between food security and health

Creative writing in response to literature is a way for students to respond to literature in a personal way. Creative writing provides a way for students to practice critical thinking and develop a stronger understanding of literary criticism while showing creativity and a bit of their own personalities. For this creative writing assignment, you will do a character analysis to allow you to get inside the mind of one of the characters.
“Woman Hollering Creek” is told as a third-person narrative, not as a first-person narrative. The difference is that a third-person narrative presents the characters to us in the words of a narrator rather than from the words of the characters themselves. The story contains descriptions such as “Cleofilas did this” or “Cleofilas said that,” but it’s not as if Cleofilas herself is telling everything from their perspective. Of course, sometimes she speaks in the story, but she does not get to tell the story or what she thinking or feeling. It is up to the reader to determine what she might be thinking or feeling.
For this assignment, imagine you are Cleofilas writing a journal entry the events described in the story. Try to get into the mind of Cleofilas. Be imaginative and creative. Pretend you are Cleofilas and have successfully left your marriage with Felice’s help. You will not be retelling the plot of the story; you will be Cleofilas reflecting on what has happened. In this journal entry you can put down whatever thoughts she might have using absolute frankness and honesty. 
Criteria:
Write a minimum 400 words in paragraph form, using Times New Roman 12-point font (or similar) with double spacing. A title page is not required.
Submit as a Microsoft Word attachment on the submission page (click title above). Assignments not submitted in this way may be returned to you ungraded.
There is a no-research policy in place for this class. Using any material other than the assigned readings and lectures, even if it is correctly quoted and cited, will result in a failing grade for this assignment.

For your final essay, choose ONE of the following topics.

Option 1) Recommend a Text: Choose one, two, or three texts we read this semester and explain why you would recommend them to someone else. This “someone” could be someone you know personally, like a friend or family member, someone you know culturally, like a celebrity, or it could be to your younger self or your future self. You may also choose a group of people such as your fellow nurses or your community (however you define that). Think about what this person/people could get out of the text, and what it might mean to them and perhaps even what their response might be.

Make sure to explain who you are recommending the text(s) to in your introductory paragraph. And if you choose one text make sure you have multiple reasons why you’d recommend it to this person or group. You may choose any texts from the syllabus that interested you except Stephanie Ericsson’s “The Ways We Lie.”

Option 2) Realism vs. Idealism: For this paper, answer the question of whether you believe it is better to be realistic or idealistic when approaching the challenges we face in 2023? Realists–as embodied by Niccolò Machiavelli–believe we must approach the world as it “really is,” even if that means getting ahead by lying, cheating, or other bad behavior. Idealists–as embodied by Plato–believe we should reach for lofty ideals even if we can’t attain them.

Is realism or idealism a better approach to climate change? Political unrest? Misinformation online? You can choose any contemporary challenge or challenges you see fit. For this essay, you must cite both Plato and Machiavelli. You may want to do outside research for this topic, but please make sure to cite your sources.

Option 3) Dystopian Mirrors: If utopias are the ideals our society can aspire to, dystopias are dark reflections of our worst impulses. They expose the lies we tell ourselves. Dystopian works are everywhere in our culture: The Handmaid’s Tale, The Last of Us, The Hunger Games, Black Mirror, etc. Why are dystopias so popular these days? And what do they say about our reality?

For this essay, discusses how “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” by Ursula K. Le Guin and one or two other dystopias of your choosing reflect our current society. In addition to Omelas, you can pick any dystopias you like just make sure to cite them.

With any of these topics, this paper will be graded more on execution and professionalism rather than argument. You should demonstrate understanding of the text(s) you write about, present a clear argument, use correct APA formatting, and proofread your essay.For your final essay, choose ONE of the following topics.
