Write an analytical paper responding the prompt below. Your paper must introduce, explain, and defend a thesis (i.e. argument) that addresses the question(s) posed within the prompt—we are most interested in seeing what kind of an argument you come up with, and how you explain and defend it. Please refer to the rubric and writing guidelines (posted in Handouts on Blackboard) for more information on what makes a strong paper and how your own work will be evaluated. It is not necessary to use outside sources or materials, but if you do, make sure you provide citations.
Your paper must be 4-6 pages (no more, no less) double-spaced, and in 12-point, standard font (i.e. Calibri, Cambria, or Times New Roman. Not Courier), and standard margins. No extra spaces in between paragraphs. Number all pages, use Chicago Style citations (i.e. footnotes), and underline your thesis statement. Please remember to include your name and which prompt you are addressing.
As always, you are responsible for adherence to American’s Academic Integrity Code (found here: http://www.american.edu/academics/integrity/code.cfm).
This will be worth 15% of your total grade for this semester
