Essay 4 (E4) is a persuasive essay using Roland Barthes’ Camera Lucida as the central
component. The purpose is to persuade a generally educated audience of your thesis about
Barthes’ argument and the influence of digital photography and/or social media or one of the
other topics listed later in this prompt. Additionally, this essay calls for outside, academic
sources; use at least 3 outside, academic sources and no more than 5 sources. Make sure these
are appropriate sources—Anthony Weston’s A Rulebook for Arguments can help with this.
Suitable sources may come from EBSCO, JSTOR, and Mirror of Race at mirrorofrace.org. As
usual, use MLA style formatting: 1inch margins, typed, double-spaced, no extra spacing between
paragraphs and heading lines, easy to read font style (e.g., Times New Roman or Arial), 12 point
font size, etc. Again, as a guide, this essay prompt is in proper MLA format. Also, an MLA
Checklist is posted on Canvas for more help. This essay must be 5 pages minimum
