Final Paper: Morrison and Current Events Final draft (1500 words) Problem of writing about Song of Solomon: One of the main challenges of writing a paper about a novel like Song of Solomon is that so much has already been written about it, and half of that material is available online (and the worst material is the most readily available). Essentially, we will compose a paper connecting the novel Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison with current events. A general comparison will be too broad, of course, so we must focus on a particular aspect or theme and formulate an argument. For instance, you could write about racial discrimination, or violent reactions to racism, or even racism within the Black community. The topic is open but you have to use at least one additional outside source, but that could be something as simple as a newspaper article. Quotes from the novel are of course necessary and should be featured prominently in your paper.

English 1A/95 Essay #3: Impact of Cultural Legacy “No one who can rise before dawn three hundred sixty days a year faults to make his family rich.” Inquiry Question: How do you think a cultural legacy can impact the degree of a person’s success? Background: Proverbs are popular sayings which contain advice or state a generally accepted truth. Proverbs function as “folk wisdom,” general advice about how to act and live. And because they are folk wisdom, they often strongly reflect the cultural values and physical environment from which they arise. For instance, island cultures such as Hawaii have proverbs about the sea; Eastern cultures have proverbs about elephants, and American proverbs, many collected and published by Benjamin Franklin, are about hard work bringing success. Proverbs are used to support arguments, to provide lessons and instruction, and to stress shared values. In chapter 9 nine of Outliers, “Rice Paddies and Math Tests”, Gladwell provides some examples of proverbs that Chinese rice farmers would often recite such as “Farmers are busy; farmers are busy; if farmers weren’t busy, where would grain to get through winter come from?” and “In winter, the lazy man freezes to death” (238). Prompt: Gladwell uses these examples of proverbs from Chapter 9 to help explain the concept of cultural legacy. In Chapters 6, 7, and 8 Gladwell argues that understanding cultural legacy can impact a person’s success. Write a well-developed essay in which you define the term ‘cultural legacy’, discuss its impact, and discuss the role that proverbs play in keeping a cultural legacy alive. In this essay, you can either support Gladwell’s notion that cultural legacy has a profound impact on success or argue against itIn the essay’s introduction, give some background to Outliers. Then come to terms with Gladwell by explaining what he means by ‘cultural legacy.’ In your thesis, answer this question: What kind of impact does cultural legacy have on a person’s life? Can the impact be positive, negative, or both? Requirements: 4-6 pages (MLA Format) Introduction Strong hook/attention grabber Introduce topic/necessary background information (define cultural legacy, etc) Thesis that addresses the prompt: What kind of impact does cultural legacy have on a person’s life? Can the impact be positive, negative, or both?

Review of Experimental Research – In conjunction with the Information Literacy lecture, you will find a peer-reviewed journal article on negative body talk (aka ‘fat talk’) and ethnicity. You will write a 2 to 3-page paper explaining the methodology that was used in the article. THIS IS NOT A PAPER ABOUT FAT TALK. THIS IS A PAPER DEMONSTRATING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH as a way to engage the SCIENTIFIC METHOD. You will introduce the scientific method and experimental research, noting that it is the only type of research method that allows scientists to make causal statements (i.e., this caused that). Make clear that the fat talk article will serve as an example of the elements of an experiment. At a minimum, you must briefly explain the following concepts (citing King) and providing examples from the fat talk article (citing the authors): hypothesis (the fat talk article has 3 hypotheses – pick ONE to discuss) independent variable – IV dependent variable – DV (for the hypothesis you chose) operational definition of the IV and DV (the DV you picked – not all three) experimental group control group (and why it’s necessary) random assignment (and why it’s necessary) ethical considerations in research (this is the only element that does not require examples from the fat talk article). publication in a peer-reviewed journal           Explain each of these concepts using your own words and citing King. And, explain how these concepts were implemented in the fat talk study, citing the fat talk authors. Do not use any direct quotes. Include correct APA citations of the article and the book (King) in text and on a references page (use the APA template provided)                                                                                                      -I suggest that in your own words you define each of the concepts that are required in the paper. Then, note how each of the concepts was implemented in the fat talk paper. Finally, use those two lists to construct your paper. Try organizing your thoughts with an outline like this – Introduce scientific method and experimental research as the only way to engage the scientific method in order to make a causal statement, cite King. State that the Katrevich et al. (2014) research on fat talk will be used to illustrate the elements of experimental research Explain what a hypothesis is, in your own words, cite King, give the example from Katrevich et al. (2014) IV and DV are identified in the hypothesis. Explain the concepts, cite King, clarify the IV and DV in Katrevich Explain operational definition, cite King. Give the example of how the IV and DV (for whatever hypothesis you’re using in your example) in Katrevich were operationalized  Explain experimental and control groups and why both are needed Explain random assignment, cite King Explain APA (spell it out the first time) code of ethics, why it is necessary, comment on the terrible history,include/explainthe four main requirements, in your own words, cite King Conclude by explaining peer-reviewed journal (cite King) and state where Katrevich was published Follow all of the directions – no personal pronouns, proper formatting, complete citation, etc.
