Truth

Essay Prompt
For this assignment, you will write a research-based argumentative essay for an academic audience while using secondary sources. To prepare, you will read Harper Lee’s famous 1960 novel, To Kill a Mockingbird and watch the 1962 film of the same name, starring Gregory Peck with the intent of selecting a contemporary social issue that emerges from the texts that is still important in 2022–and perhaps even more so today than in the 1950s and 60s when the book and film arrived on the scene. Next, you will engage in research that explores a specific aspect of your chosen issue. You will then determine what your personal stance on the issue is and use your previous research (and possibly new research) to support your stance. Your “stance” becomes your thesis. Your research becomes your evidence. The process will be modeled for you in class. Unlike in Unit 3, your teacher won’t be providing you with sources for this essay: you get to find credible sources through your own research, since that’s something college writers do frequently.

What is truth? In Science? In Politics? In our Society? Where does it begin and end? How much truth can we take? Where does our truth come from? Once we establish our belief system, how often do we question our truth, if ever? How does Truth encounter Justice? Who seeks Justice? Why? What is society’s role in establishing and maintaining TRUTH? Because of America’s history, how should the future look in respect to justice and truth? Consider “Black Lives Matter” as a focus or “Women’s Rights” or the “Myths and Misinformation about Latinos” over time.

TRUTH AND JUSTICE

How important is truth?
CONSIDER this article “Does Truth Matter?” by Carl Sagan

Does Truth Matter? Science, Pseudoscience, and Civilization

This is a dense expression of the myriad of farcical notions we humans have about life. It questions what we know, but mostly what we think we know or what we superstitiously know or what we think our abilities are to reach higher powers and the unknown. It is incredibly powerful and can begin your journey. It is peppered with enclosed subtext (the boxes within the essay) that are most interesting! How do facts change our life? Why do people ignore them?

This essay could set you on a course to seek: odd hoaxes and ridiculous notions (Salem Witch Trials or Transcendental Meditation) or an essay about the pandemic and quarantine we are living today and how the information about its truth has been parsed with political ambition in its way. Consider all the avenues Sagan travels and let yourself sit with it for a bit. Does truth matter? The groundwork of this essay is a perfect start.

This essay also touches on science as a form of spirituality (312) and the Latin translation of spirit is “to breathe.” Will the future allow for these two entities to meld?
Connection: Henry David Thoreau was a Transcendentalist (not to be confused with Transcendental Meditation).
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/transcendentalism/

This same section on page 312 discusses selfless courage as found in Martin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, and Mohandas Gandhi. All these men were certain of a truth about mankind, that was being denied them. Where do people get this certainty? Where do they find the courage to stand up to the system? What else doe this entail?

-How important is justice?
CONSIDER this article “Civil Disobedience” by Henry David Thoreau
https://xroads.virginia.edu/~Hyper2/thoreau/civil.html
This essay was the impetus for Mohandas Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King, who then inspired the “civil disobedience” of the Women’s Marches across the country sparked by the #metoo movement and Black Lives Matter protests. Thoreau’s protest against a tax was a minor confrontation, but it inspired the essay that has been read and adhered to for a century. Here, the participants were all sure of a truth and thus, sought JUSTICE.

CONSIDER “The Declaration of Independence” by Thomas Jefferson (218). This document sought freedom from tyranny. The British Crown (Great Britain) continued to tax the colonies, so the colonies rebelled, fought a war and won. They devised this document to separate themselves from Britain and to establish their beliefs in a new rule of law. How is this document relevant today as we consider ALL MEN and WOMEN?

CONSIDER the Constitution of the United States
https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/United_States_of_America_1992
Today, the highest court in the land, The Supreme Court, often is considered binary (one of two things; either conservative or liberal). How are these judges considered liberal or conservative? What makes their decision-making identify them as one or the other. And what does it mean when a judge is called a originalist? How do judges come to their decisions within the reality of our world today. This would make for an interesting research essay as to the makeup of the court and how each judge seeks truth and justice.

CONSIDER the media today. Why did Trump, the 45th president of the United States, exclaim from the highest position in the land that the media we listen to and hope to trust is FAKE? He has called the media we trust “an enemy of the people.” Why? What evidence did he ever produce? Consider the main source of our information. Consider the way information is disseminated and the trustworthiness of that process. Then consider his political gain. Then consider how his rhetoric has affected the American psyche. (There may be something in history that mirrors this agenda.)

*Things to considers for your research & brainstorming*

What is truth? In Science? In Politics? In our Society? Where does it begin and end? How much truth can we take? Where does our truth come from? Once we establish our belief system, how often do we question our truth, if ever? How does Truth encounter Justice? Who seeks Justice? Why?
What is society’s role in establishing and maintaining TRUTH? Because of America’s history, how should the future look in respect to justice and truth? Consider “Black Lives Matter” as a focus or “Women’s Rights” or the “Myths and Misinformation about Latinos” over time.
How important is it that we as Americans understand American history as it really happened?
How has the “establishment” kept people (who are not white men) in their places? Have things changed at all in the last 50 years in that regard? 20 years? 3 years? How so? Whose voices are heard? Whose voices should be heard? Why and How? Do we turn a blind eye to truth? How true is something true?
What ethical responsibility do we have to each other? Our family? Our environment? Are we a depraved society that allows falsehoods and misinformation? Do we allow things to go unaddressed if we are benefiting from a situation? Do we exercise “doublethink”?

What is the plot of the story and how clear is that plot? How does the plot influence the overall story? Write your response that details the prompt above. Be sure to analyze one of the short short stories or fairy tales. Then, create your own story.

Unit 2 Assignment: Supported Paragraph

• DiLascio-Martinuk, T. (2021). Vote by mail: Overview. Points of View: Vote by Mail, 1–4. You will be creating one paragraph that answers the following question:

• Why or why not should American citizens be allowed to vote by mail?

The article above provides an overview of the issue of Americans voting by mail. After reading the above article, you will write one paragraph that asserts your objective and clear position answering the above question. Your writing should be done in third person (he, she, they, one, it, people) and not use first (me, us, our, we, my, I) or second person (you, your). Most academic writing is done in third person rather than first or second person because the writing is more objective.
The key to this assignment is to make sure that the seven–to–nine sentence paragraph you write only has one topic and includes evidence to support that topic. In other words, you need one main reason to explain why you think Americans should or should not be able to vote–by–mail. Your answer to the above question should explain that reason in your paragraph with one direct quote from the article. Review the Citing Evidence interactive in this unit for information on how to include a direct quote in your work. Your evidence should go in the middle of the paragraph so that you can completely introduce it and explain how it supports your topic. (See step–by– step instructions about creating a paragraph with evidence.)

Instructions:
Answer the question above in one paragraph comprised of at least seven (7) to nine (9) sentences. You should use one direct quote from the article.

1. First, begin your paragraph with a clear topic sentence that states where you stand on the question above.

2. Next, include supporting sentences that explain and prove your topic. Next,

3. Then, in the center of your paragraph, include a direct quote from the reading as one piece of evidence to support your topic with an in–text citation that looks like this: (Karter, 2021, p. #).

4. Finally, comment on and explain the quotation and wrap up your paragraph with a concluding sentence.

Requirements:
• Submit a Microsoft Word document or PDF.

• Include a title page, a proper font case per APA standards (Times New Roman 12 font is suggested), and a references page. The document should have 1–inch margins and should be double–spaced.

• The direct quote should be included within the center of the paragraph (as opposed to at the start or end).

• Use objective third–person language: “he,” “she,” “it,” “him,” “her,” “himself,” “herself,” “itself,” “they,” “them,” “their,” “themselves.” (Avoid subjective language such as “I,” “me,” “you,” “we,” “us,”etc.)

• The paragraph should be at least seven (7) sentences in length.

• Follow proper APA formatting when citing the quote and include the article’s reference double–spaced on a reference page. For the reference page, simply label the last page of your document References and add this reference:

Children of Blood and Bones

Children of Blood and Bone Timed Essay – AP Literature Thematic style essay prompt options-Directions: Choose 1. Make sure to write down the number of’ your choice on the top of your paper Then in one class period, do your best to write an answer to the question of your choice, supporting it with evidence paraphrased from your memory of the book. No quoting is necessary here, but you may if you have a good one ready to go from your dialectical journals. Make sure you have an introduction with a thesis that answers the question, with 2 supporting body paragraphs that support your thesis, and a conclusion if you have time.

(1) A recurring theme in literature is the classic war between a passion and a responsibility. For instance, a personal cause, a love, a desire for revenge, a determination to redress a wrong, or some other emotion or drive may conflict with moral duty. Choose a literary work (CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE) in which a character confronts the demands of a private passion that conflicts with his or her responsibilities. In a well written essay, show clearly the nature of the conflict, its effects upon the character, and its significance to the work.

(2) In great literature, no scene of violence exists for its own sake. Choose a work of literary merit (CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE) that confronts the reader or audience with a scene or scenes of violence. In a well-organized essay, explain how the scene or scenes contribute to the meaning of the complete work.

(3) Choose a novel or play (CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE) that depicts a conflict between a parent (or a parental figure) and a son or daughter. Write an essay in which you analyze the sources of the conflict and explain how the conflict contributes to the meaning of the work. Avoid plot summary.

(4) Novels and plays often depict characters caught between colliding cultures — national, regional, ethnic, religious, institutional. Such collisions can call a character’s sense of identity into question. Select a novel or play (CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE) in which a character responds to such a cultural collision. Then write a well-organized essay in which you describe the character’s response and explain its relevance to the work as a whole.

(5) One of the strongest human drives seems to be a desire for power. Write an essay in which you discuss how a character in a novel or a drama (CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE) struggles to free himself or herself from the power of others or seeks to gain power over others. Be sure to demonstrate in your essay how the author uses this power struggle to enhance the meaning of the work.

Basing your argument on evidence from research, argue that restorative justice practices are an effective approach to summary conviction offences in cases in which the chances of rehabilitation are high.

Argumentative Essay

Basing your argument on evidence from research, argue that restorative justice practices are an effective approach to summary conviction offences in cases in which the chances of rehabilitation are high.

Hint: It is important to define both restorative justice and summary conviction offences early in your essay—probably in the introductory paragraph.

Instructions:

  • Your essay must be approximately 1,000 to 1,200 words in length (about four double-spaced typed pages).
  • Find two to six reputable secondary sources and review them carefully. At least one source should be a peer-reviewed journal article accessed through the AU Library databases.
  • Your essay must include all of the following:
  • An introduction that includes an interesting lead-in and an explanation/summary of what the issue is. (As necessary, convince your audience that the problem or issue exists and that it matters to others—or should.) Then, still in the introduction, briefly summarize each side of the issue, and finally, add a thesis/essay map that takes a stance and clarifies the purpose of your discussion.
  • Body paragraphs that develop your viewpoint. The more thorough and detailed this section, the better. Don’t leave any stone unturned. Use specific, logical examples, and integrate information from your research, as follows:
  • Of the reputable secondary sources that you located and reviewed in Step 3, choose at least two (and no more than six) to use within your essay. Integrate paraphrases, summaries, and quotations from these sources into your essay. Then, every time you paraphrase, summarize, or quote, follow these four steps to cite and integrate the source properly:
  • Introduce the source.
  • Present the research.
  • Credit the source parenthetically.
  • In other words, include “quotation sandwiches” and “paraphrase sandwiches” in your essay. Don’t just drop in quotations or paraphrases from sources into your essay. (Some experts call these “hit-and-run quotations,” “dropped quotations,” or “floating quotations.”)
  • Opposing arguments/rebuttal. There are a variety of ways to approach this component. You will do it differently based on whether you are following Pattern A or Pattern B, and based on what your approach to the topic requires. When writing persuasively, assume that your audience opposes your thesis. Then, as you write, try to foresee any possible objections the opposition might have to your argument, and address those objections as necessary. This might be as simple as a sentence in your introduction or a sentence or two within the body paragraphs. Depending on the debate, a paragraph after your introduction or before your conclusion might be necessary. Be mindful that the only reason to address opposing arguments is to rebut or refute them in order to further promote your thesis.
  • A concluding paragraph that reinforces and emphasizes the thesis and main points without repeating them. Remember that this is your final opportunity to impress your reader and to emphasize the significance of this debate.
  • Create a bibliography that lists every source you cited in your essay. (In MLA style, this page is titled “Works Cited,” while in APA style it is titled “References.”) Take this task seriously. We expect you to pay very close attention to detail and follow samples for each entry. We recommend the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) for all citation matters
  • Thinking about your essay-in-progress, review the checklist “Fifteen Common Research Errors in First-Year Papers” in Part 2, Section 10 of AOW, and consider whether your essay requires revision. ( See attached)
