The first-place winner will get $25,000, 3 winn… FULL DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS (2) ESSAY The Meaning of Atlas Shrugged Write an essay on ONE of the following topics: 1. The covers of many editions of Atlas Shrugged describe it as “a mystery story, not about the murder of man’s body, but about the murder—and rebirth—of man’s spirit.” Choose three of the most significant mysteries you encounter in Part I of the novel and explain what you think are the solutions to each. For each one, how does it relate to “the murder—and rebirth—of man’s spirit”? 2. Atlas Shrugged tells the story of what happens to a society when its most productive members go missing. Where today can a similar situation be found? Select a well-known situation that has made international headlines. 3. Explain what you understand to be both the cause and the effect of the situation. In what ways are the circumstances similar to the story of Atlas Shrugged? In what ways are they different? James says to Cherryl: “I don’t want to be loved for anything. I want to be loved for myself not for anything I do or have or say or think.” What does James mean by this? What do Cherryl’s responses to James suggest her view of love to be? What is your view? How does this issue relate to the wider themes of the novel? The essay must be double spaced. Essays will be judged on whether the student is able to argue for and justify his or her view—not on whether the Institute agrees with the view the student expresses. Judges will look for writing that is clear, articulate and logically organized. Winning essays must demonstrate an outstanding grasp of the philosophic meaning of Atlas Shrugged. Essay must be original. Min words: 800 • Max words: 1600

The essay is to be persuasive and the topic of “battle of Basra”. It’s pretty much open to interpretation as long as there is something being persuaded in the essay. Additionally, there are like 3 different “battles of Basra”, also the “siege of basra”. The essay is open to whichever one is chosen, and again, as long as there is something being persuaded, then it should be good.

Discussion points are earned by a combination of the integrity of content, quality participation, and the value added to the discussion. First post that need reply Excellent written and oral communication skills can improve a person’s marketability in their current job market because you demonstrate professionalism, courteous behavior, and clear communication. Showing a professional first impression will help your career and business relationships because you will be viewed as competent and a solid team member. A courteous professional is always desirable on a team.            When you communicate clearly, results are achieved more efficiently. As one continues to communicate clearly in difficult and stressful situations, one will be viewed as a stronger piece of a team. A team that communicates clearly and successfully can avoid any issue that would arise when dealing with communication. The fewer issues one has getting their work done while having clear and efficient communication with their team, the more desired the worker will be to stay on the team and help it grow.  Second post that need reply  Excellent written and oral communication skills can improve a person’s marketability in the current job market because employees increasingly need to be able to differentiate themselves. Many job functions are being automated because of recent technological innovations, so pure technical skills are no longer enough. Therefore, what job-seekers need nowadays are developed soft skills. Communication is one of the most important soft skills that company recruiters need. Communication is important because an effective communicator can save time and money by ensuring that company activities proceed smoothly. Companies need their different departments to be able to work together, but if communication is not done effectively, then the company operations will be adversely affected. Your initital post does not need to be  too long, same with the two posts I give are fine

Goal:   To demonstrate your understanding of rhetorical strategies by analyzing and evaluating another writer’s use of those strategies. Description:  To put it another way, you’re going to write a four-page essay arguing whether you felt another writer has done a good job of presenting his, her or their argument.  (So, it’s an argument about an argument.) Remember, every type of essay should just be answering a good question, and this is no different. In this case, it’s “has the writer successfully argued his/her point?” You’ll “dissect” a writer’s argument to see how they use logos/ethos/pathos, organization, different types of evidence (anecdotal v. statistical, for example), the context, etc. to make an overall claim.  Chapter 4’s analysis of Martin Luther King’s argument is an excellent explanation of some key terms, and the sample student essay “A Powerful Call to Action” is a great model. I strongly suggest reading this whole chapter carefully.   Topic/Source:  You might be a bit tired of this subject, but since this style of essay is a bit unusual or unfamiliar to many students, the best way to focus on our goal of “dissecting” is to pick one of the articles we just read on the subject of the value of pursuing a college education (located in Chapter 1’s “Reading and Writing About the Issue” and in Chapter 21’s “Casebook: Should Every American Go to College?”).   Additional sources:  This assignment is primarily about understanding how to analyze an argument, so it’s up to you if you want to produce your own insights or try to research some ideas. It’s preferred that you rely on your own brain and a lot of deep thinking to analyze the essay you choose, but if you want to start Googling or even going through our library’s search engines, you’re obligating yourself to all of the in-text and Works Cited rules that apply when you do research. It’s probably best to spend more time re-reading Chapter 4 and asking your instructor questions about the writer’s argument rather than hoping someone on the internet has said something you can use.  Audience:   You’re writing for a college audience, and remember, you want the essay to explain the article’s argument as it goes, so that someone who hasn’t read the article could still understand your essay.  Structure:  Use your introduction to introduce the audience to the topic and debate, and then clearly introduce the title and author of the article you’re analyzing.  You can then move to summarizing the author’s argument and where it stands within the debate (middle of the road, extreme, etc.). Then, end the introduction with your own thesis, which should state whether the writer’s argument was effective and identify the rhetorical strategies you’ll be examining to support your point.  From there, each body paragraph should examine a different technique the writer used.  (Remember, at all times, you’re answering the essay’s question: why were these strategies effective/ineffective?)  Tip:  Don’t be afraid to dig into your analysis of what the writer is trying to say.  You can scrutinize word choices for what their tone implies, or what they suggest about the audience, for example.  There should be lots to discuss, so there’s no need to resort to long summaries or over-quoting. Criteria:  1. Your own argument (clarity/consistency of your thesis, structure/development) (40%)  2. Analysis of writer’s argument (accuracy of summary, correct use of rhetorical terms) (50%)  3. Grammar/Mechanics (10%) Points Possible: 150 Length: Approximately 4 pages

At this moment in time, we are in an extremely unique place. School Campuses are closed, theaters are closed, people are asked to shelter in place, and most of us are working from home.  This is true for artists and performers who are now stuck at home looking for new ways of doing their art. I have posted a page of links to theatres and arts companies who are doing what they can during this time to continue to be viable and  produce art for their audiences.  I would like you to take a look at some of these groups and what they are doing. What do you think about it? Do you think that this is going to change the consumption of the arts in the future? Will it change the way you consume arts? When this situation has passed (and yes, this too will pass)  how will it change the arts? Will it change our view of arts? If so, how? Or will it just go back to the way it was with no lasting impression? + https://www.socialdistancingfestival.com/

I need to complete the peer response based on the student Main response written below. The peer response needs to be a minimum of 100 words.     A minor in the State of Michigan between the ages of 16-18 are allowed to begin the process of emancipation from his or her parents. In Michigan, if the parents don’t agree to the petition of emancipation then the minor child has to prove that they can care for themselves. They must prove they can financially support themselves, handle their own personal affairs, and definitely understands what emancipation means. It’s not a simple task to get emancipated. Next, the minor must get an affidavit. It must come from someone the minor knows and someone who is involved in the child’s life and in the community. Examples: Physician, clergy member, family therapist, teacher, law enforcement, or a school counselor. An affidavit from them needs to explain that it would be best for the child to be emancipated. After the courts receive the petition, they now decide if they will grant it, or look into the petition more, decide if the minor needs a court-appointed lawyer or even if the parents might, or if maybe a hearing might be recommended. After all, is said and done, if the child is emancipated…the parents are no longer responsible for any debt, but this the crazy part, in Michigan, the parents are still obligated to support them.
