This is a TWO-STEP assignment and both steps must be on separate documents. The requirements are specific
please
read carefully. I will provide examples of everything that must be completed. ALL THE WORK BEING DONE
IS ONLY FROM
PAGES 48-120 OF THE GREAT GATSBY.
Step 1 (document 1):
The Journal should be written as a double-entry journal with your record of the important things you read on pages 48-120 of The Great Gatsby in the left-hand column* and your questions, inferences, connections, and analysis in
the right-hand
column.
**AN EXAMPLE FROM ANOTHER BOOK OF HOW TO COMPLETE AND FORMAT THE JOURNAL ENTRIES IS
ATTACHED BELOW, FOLLOW THAT AS THE GUIDELINE AND HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF ENTRIES WITH THE
SAME AMOUNT OF DETAIL AND SENTENCES PER ENTRY.**
Based ONLY on pages 48-120, your entries focus should be on characterization unlike the example attached below so make sure do not write the same ideas as the example, the examples prompt is NOT CHARACTERIZATION, it’s
different. You need to answer: Which characters are dynamic or static? Which are round or flat? Identify the
protagonist and antagonist. What
are they like? Does your protagonist have a foil? If so, which traits does the foil
highlight? Does your narrator use indirect or direct characterization? Which is more effective and why? Has the
author created any unlikable characters? Why do you
think the author may have made this choice? MAKE SURE TO ANSWER ALL THESE IN THE ENTRIES.
REMEMBER:
1. As you read PAGES 48-120 OF THE GREAT GATSBY, jot down some thoughts. These thoughts should include:
– questions that you have about plot, characterization, theme, language, and symbolism – you are going to be
asked to focus on character in THE SYNTHESIS ESSAY BELOW. While it shouldn’t be the only thing you write about
in your journal, do ensure you are making observations and drawing conclusions about the way characters are
being developed.
– connections you’re able to make to your own life, other texts, and the world around you.
– analyses of literary devices, including use of language, metaphor, symbolism, imagery.
– conclusions that you’re able to draw about choices made by the author.
*Don’t forget to include page numbers for each entry. This will help you in STEP 2*
Step 2 (document 2):
This is the essay or the SYNTHESIS PAPER. Now that you’ve made journal entries on PAGES 48-120 OF THE GREAT GATSBY, you will piece together what you’ve learned and currently understand about the novel. This SYNTHESIS
PAPER is not meant to be a summary of what you’ve read; rather, it is meant to be a record of the conclusions (and
supporting evidence) you have been able to draw so far based on your reading. While you are not limited to
discussing characterization, you should mention it at some point in your paper. Consider using the outline attached below labelled “Synthesis Paper Outline” to help structure and organize your response.
Make sure to follow these criteria: – Feel free to go beyond 500 words. – Properly formatted in-text citations for
quotations or specific references to the text – Makes specific reference to ideas developed in the journal and
explains how these ideas were supported, challenged, or otherwise evolved – Draws conclusions about the choices made by the author – Identifies significant ideas in a text. – Makes connections between the text and own
experiences. *EXAMPLE OF SYNTHESIS PAPER FROM ANOTHER BOOK IS ATTACHED BELOW, USE IT AS
GUIDELINE AND FORMAT IT EXACTLY THE SAME. BE AS DETAILED AS THE EXAMPLE AND HAVE THE SAME
AMOUNT OF PARAGRAPHS, DETAILS ETC. IT IS CRUCIAL TO FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE IN FORMATTING,
DETAILING AND WORDING BUT OF COURSE WRITE IT ABOUT PAGES 48-120 OF THE GREAT GATSBY*

A rough draft is not expected to be polished, but it should be complete, meaning it has an introduction, thesis, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Use your outline as a guide, but you might find that changing some pieces makes more sense as you draft.

– An introduction containing a thesis
– minimum of three (3) body paragraphs (one to two pages)
– a conclusion.
A minimum of two (2) references are incorporated as support, with at least one source being a peer-reviewed article.
Quoted, paraphrased, or summarized material within the text of your essay should be highlighted or in a different color.
A reference page with a complete list of APA formatted references.
*Please use the APA 7th Edition sample word file for template.
Refer to annotated bibliography for reference content & the outline.

Choose ONE of the topics below and construct a five-paragraph essay, complete
with an attention getter (“grabber”), thesis statement, and strong conclusion.
Ensure you complete the outline prior to writing the essay to help you focus and
develop your topic. The outline WILL NOT be submitted; it is to help you organize
your ideas.

After reading the assigned texts, and participating in the discussion, you can proceed to the essay prompt

Compare Machiavelli’s philosophies and methods of argument to Lao-Tzu’s philosophies and methods of argument. You will then consider how both men would respond to one controversial topic of your choice. What would they say about it and why? Would they disagree? Would they Agree?

Demonstrates or at least simulates intellectual engagement and ownership of your own education; goes beyond ″going through the motions″ and creates something thoughtful, interesting, and even possibly surprising.

Our second participation forum this week focuses on issues raised in Chapter 3: Core Values and Political Culture, specifically our discussions of white supremacy, racism, privilege, and oppression.
We will watch two videos, and then answer questions about each of them. Please review the assignment rubric below for details about word count and responses before completing.
Video 1: “Racism in the United States: By the Numbers”
This is a brief video by the VlogBrothers (self-described as “raising nerdy to the power of awesome”), in which one of the brothers explores recent data on racism in the United States. This is informative and short, though it moves pretty fast and you may have to pause periodically to catch up (at least I had to).

(Right-click on the link above and open in new tab/window. If the link does not open, please copy and paste it into your browser. If that doesn’t work, search “Racism in the United States by the numbers Vlogbrothers” on YouTube.)
YOUR TASK: Watch the video, then identify and briefly discuss at least two pieces of data mentioned that you were unaware of, that raised questions for you, or you would like to learn more about.
Video 2: Heather McGhee: “Racism Has a Cost For Everyone.”
Heather McGhee is a writer, advocate, and researcher. She is the former president of Demos, an economic policy organization focused on tax policy, and how social and economic policies impact working people. Her recent book is called The Sum of Us. This is a TedTalk she gave in 2019, focused on how racism and racist policies negatively impact all people, including white people.
Link: https://www.ted.com/talks/heather_c_mcghee_racism_has_a_cost_for_everyone?language=en#t-3995 Links to an external site.
(Right-click on the link and open in new tab/window. If the link does not open, please copy and paste it into your browser. If that doesn’t work, search “heather mcghee racism has a cost for everyone” and look for videos.)
YOUR TASK: Watch the video and discuss two (2) of the following five (4) references or questions. You can answer more than two if you are so moved, but you won’t score extra points 🙂
a) While McGhee doesn’t use the term “white privilege,” she is speaking to the idea that many white people do not want to give up their perceived advantages and/or sense of themselves as superior. Highlight some examples of this from her talk.
b) The VlogBrothers video is effective because the data and the resources are so extensive. But Heather McGhee’s TedTalk is effective for different reasons – can you identify some of them?
c) Describe which of McGhee’s three examples/points – underinvestment and disinvestment in public goods and resources, the subprime mortgage/housing collapse, efforts to unionize a southern auto factory – were most compelling for you, and why.
d) What do you think is the lesson, or the lessons, McGhee hopes we will take from this? In other words, what is the work she is asking us to do? Explain.
NOTE: Your answers must be substantive: meaning, related to the questions, and demonstrating your comprehension of the points raised in the video. To help in this, you can identify any points of connection between the video and Chapter 3, as well as the data discussed in the VlogBrothers video.
You may include your own personal ideas about racism, oppression, etc., but before you do, you should deal with the substance of the questions.
