Essay Four
(Research Paper/Analysis)
Your last essay will be you creating your own argument and meaningful ideas about an
issue or a topic in the world around you. This essay should show your ability to critically
think about the world you live in and make conclusions and complex ideas about that
world.
While this is a research paper of sorts, it is not simply a regurgitation or summary of
information or ideas already said about your topic. This essay requires analysis, which
means you’ll need to use what others have said and think critically about those ideas to
explain their larger meaning to come up with ideas of your own. From those ideas, you’ll
create an argumentative claim that you will support or prove through the body of the
paper.
You have freedom in your choice of topic, but it must be about a human quality, very
similar to most of the essays we read in class. Look at qualities that have deep and
greater meaning like beauty, shame, pride, love, etc. and then make a narrowly defined
idea in that general arena. This doesn’t mean you’ll want your essay to be general; so if
you’re writing about love, you shouldn’t be writing about your ideas of it as an overall
emotion or thing, you should be writing about one idea you have about love, or a type of
love. Start general, then narrow down your argument.
Remember, the biggest thing this essay needs to do is demonstrate your ability to think
critically about the world and the people around you. This is your chance to develop a
meaningful argument about something important. The research component is meant for
you to become more knowledgeable about your topic and to understand and decide how
what others say about it fit into your own argument.
This is not an opinion-centered paper. It should be written as an objective argument.
This means that you will be writing in the third person and take an unbiased tone that
presents information rather than tries to convince or persuade an audience to see things
your way. The logic of your argument will do that convincing; the tone of your argument
will not.
You must use at least 3 outside sources, all of which must be a book, journal, or from
some other sort of academic database. The validity of Internet sources is questionable
compared to articles found in scholarly journals, periodicals, and books—which are
readily available to you through the library’s online database.
This essay must be a full 6-7 pages in length (one paragraph on the last page will not
meet the length requirement) and should follow all MLA format requirements (typed,
double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, 1 inch margins on all sides, etc.). Your
final draft is due via email by Tuesday, May 9 by 8 PM. The last day to receive feedback is Friday, May 5 by 5:00 PM PST.
In addition to following the assignment’s requirements, an “A” paper will also do the
