Write an essay where you connect Langston Hughes’ poem “Tired” to the economic facts listed below his poem.

Langston Hughes poem: “Tired,”

In the early 1930s, the poet Langston Hughes wrote a poem called “Tired,” in which he said:

I am so tired of waiting,
Aren’t you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two –
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

Last month, Bloomberg News reported that just three men in the U.S. – Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett – have more money than the 165 million Americans who make up the bottom 50% of the population.

They also reported that 40 million Americans need food stamps to eat, and that 25% of homeless people actually have regular jobs.

It is a fact that Cuba has a significantly longer life expectancy than the U.S.

More than half of all Americans do not have even $400 available for emergencies.

 

Write an essay where you connect Langston Hughes’ poem “Tired” to the economic facts listed below his poem.

Connect these two texts (the poem and the economic data) by using your personal ideas, observations and experiences.

There is no page length requirement. Write as much as you need to.

Pitfalls of pride.

Compare and/or contrast the grandmother in “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” and Mathilde in “The Necklace,” paying particular attention to theme as well as setting and/or characterization, and make an argument about the pitfalls of pride. Your essay must be between 750-1000 words and adhere to MLA formatting. It needs to quote directly from your chosen text(s) for support, but it should not use any secondary research. Keep in mind that the comparison/contrast essay should not just summarize the story or stories, nor should it just state how two things are alike and/or different: the essay should move beyond that and also present an original opinion or argument based on those similarities/differences, as you see them.

Choose two things to compare. Choose items with which you are already familiar. How do you decide what to choose?

Analytical report: apple music vs spotify

Paper Overview For the report, you will choose two similar things to compare. You will research them using the internet and LSSC databases and also conduct original research. Finally, you will write an analysis which contains the research and a judgment of which item is superior. • Length: reaches at least 1000 words. • Page Format: APA. • Information: includes an introduction, 3-6 data sections, and a conclusion. • Sources: 3 of the sources from your Annotated Bibliography and 1 visual (more may be used) • Analysis: compares two equivalent items using 3-6 logical criteria, draws reasonable conclusions using research, and contains a final judgment. • Fluency: written clearly and vetted for grammar errors. Divided into logical paragraphs. • Language: avoids first and second person pronouns and is free of slang, clichés, and contractions • Citation: uses correct APA in-text citations and a references page. • Proofreading: submitted to Grammarly, and the final draft reaches at least a 90 grammar score and an unoriginal content ratio of 10% or less. Your grammar and plagiarism scores should be included with the assignment.

Steps for Creating the Report

1) Choose two things to compare. Choose items with which you are already familiar. How do you decide what to choose? Consider the following categories. • T VShows: Cop shows, late-night shows, family sitcoms, work-place comedies, cooking shows, game shows, or any other shows that have enough in common to justify the comparison.

• Movies: Action movies, office comedies, romantic comedies, horror movies, thrillers, slasher films, documentaries, Hallmark Christmas movies, or any other movies that have enough in common to justify the comparison. • Music: Two songs by the same artist, two songs from the same album, two songs that were nominated against each other in the same Grammy’s category, two songs about the same subject/topic, two theme songs from movies, two TV show theme songs, or any other songs that have enough in common to justify the comparison. Two works of art created in the same style, two works of art with similar subjects, two works of art with similar themes, or any other works of art that have enough in common to justify the comparison.
Whatever you choose, make sure the two items are equivalent: Don’t compare a television show and a painting. Compare two television shows OR two paintings.

2) Choose comparison criteria. Successful evaluations use criteria that are logical for the things being compared. When deciding on criteria, consider the aspects of your items which are most important to you. In this report, evaluate your items according to 3-6 criteria.

3) Research online. For this report, you will need to include 3 of the sources required by your Annotated Bibliography assignment. More sources can be used. Sources should give information about the items you are comparing.

4) Conduct personal research. If you are comparing songs, listen to them. If you are comparing films, watch them. If you are comparing short stories, read them. Take notes: You will use these notes for the data sections of your report.

5) Find visual elements. Visuals can take the form of photographs, illustrations, charts, graphs, and infographics: any format which helps illustrate the data is allowed. The final draft of the report should contain at least one visual. More may be used.

6) Design the report. Successful reports make use of the following elements. a. A standard style and size font: APA format requires Times New Roman 12 pt. b. APA page format: Make sure the essay meets standard format requirements. Since this is a technical report, you should also divide the essay into subsections with clear headings. c. Legible spacing: Double-space your entire report. Use bolded subheads to indicate the separate sections. Use bullet points and/or numbered lists within sections, if necessary, to make them more readable. d. Clear sentences and paragraphs: Vary sentence length and keep paragraphs clear and concise. Use Grammarly to edit the report. Double-check citations to be sure they meet APA format requirements. e. Third person point of view: Avoid words like I, me, my, you, we our, and us. f. Sufficiently formal language: Avoid slang, clichés, and contractions.

7) Draft the report. Although individual types of reports vary, report format always emphasizes clarity and conciseness. The report should be divided into labeled sections which include all necessary data while eliminating irrelevant data. It must end with an analysis and judgment.
The report should contain the following standard sections.
a. Introduction: In the Introduction, describe the things being compared and discuss why comparing them is worthwhile. List the criteria being used to compare the items and discuss why they are logical for the chosen items. b. Data Sections: Devote one data section to each criterion. Within each data section, evaluate the items according to that criterion. Use research to support the conclusions. Cite sources using APA in-text citations. If a data section includes a visual, make sure it is relevant. End each data section with a judgment of which item ‘won’ this criterion. c. Conclusion: Begin the conclusion by briefly summarizing the data sections. Then, make a judgment of which Item Is superior based upon your research. It’s not necessary to disparage either item, but you must declare one item superior. Reports which don’t contain a final judgment will lose points, as that is the Purpose of the report. d. References: Place an APA-style references page at the end of the report. Include all internet and database sources as well as the visual(s).
