Essay Question prompts – please choose only ONE
Much of our course has focused on military, political, and intellectual leaders of Europe like Socrates, Alexander the Great, or Augustus. Write an essay in which you consider moments when we have been able to hear voices from average people; consider the significance of those voices and (if described in our text) the sources we use to try to understand those perspectives.
Core themes of our class are chance and choice. At one points have we been able to see the ways that individuals’ choices or the role of chance shape history? Write an essay in which you organize your examples around an argumentative thesis and discuss examples from at least two different chapters. Note: your examples should relate to each other and illustrate one other point or insight about the periods we have studied; an essay that merely describes three unconnected examples of choice or chance will receive a low grade.
Chance: “the occurrence and development of events in the absence of any obvious design.”
Choice: “an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities.”
It has been said that the Romans managed to create a world that the Greeks had only dreamed about. To what extent do you think this is true? Write an argumentative essay in which you make a case for or against this perspective based on evidence from the text. For this essay, you’ll need to make sure you define your terms and explain what you mean by “Romans” and “Greeks.”
You may also write on a different topic as long as it touches on the economic, political, and social cultures and institutions in this period and it covers more than two chapters, but please let me know in advance so I can approve your topic.

The Grapes of Wrath Writing Assignment
History 121
John Steinbeck gives a graphic representation of the events of the Great Depression and its effects upon one family. In American history, the “Okie” is emblematic of the displaced rural poor and farm workers who sought new opportunities in the agricultural districts of California. The Joad family, Steinbeck’s fictitious Okies, face many trials in their journey to California. Along the way, we watch Tom Joad, the central protagonist, undergo a change in his attitudes towards the people he encounters and how to deal with the constant stream of problems that his family encounters.
For this paper, you will discuss Tom Joad’s attitudes about the Great Depression as illustrated by Steinbeck. What issues face the Joads in their journey to California? How does Tom feel about helping others? Does his attitude change as the journey, and the book, progresses? What does Tom see as the answer to the problems that his family and those like them face on a constant basis during this period? If he has a change in attitude, what acts as the inspiration for this change? What does Tom ultimately choose to do in order to attempt to improve the situation his family faces, as well as the situation facing those around him?
Your paper will be three to five pages in length. It will be in 12 point Times New Roman font with one inch page margins. You will insert a page number in the lower right hand corner of your page. This is not a book report; you will need to establish a thesis for your paper and support it through out your work with evidence. Quotes are effective, but short quotes are the best to use. Make sure that you cite your quotes using parenthetical citations (Welch, 25). Avoid using block quotes; they may kill a lot of space, but they also take room that you can use to make your point.
Pick one Founding Father and explain to the class how they dealt with the new American nation and the issue of Slaves and Slavery? ***I choose Alexander Hamilton***
Explain if they were for or against keeping slavery in America and what they did politically to ensure their choice was heard.
Remember a FOUNDING FATHER is someone who was involved in the Founding of our nation so they were alive and working in government from 1774 to 1814. Please note this education will showcase History that will contradict your earlier education…some of the founding fathers had no intention in freeing slaves due to their income relied on slave labor. And some politicians never wanted to abolish slavery because the economy of the new nation depended on the resources labored by slaves. Please read Slavery and the Founding Fathers. Of the Constitutional Convention participants- 49% of the delegates were slave owners = 55 delegates/27 owned slaves.

The First World War would not be the first war when the United States would say it was fighting for democracy — the Civil War and Spanish-American War were both fought, in a sense, under the same pretenses — but it would be the first global conflict in which the United States took the lead and sought to reshape the governments of the planet in her own image.
The two primary source selections for this week offer perspectives on the war, and on American idealism, that were not often heard. How powerful do you find these perspectives given the current discussions in the United States surrounding “patriotism” and “loyalty”?
How do Goldman and DuBois speak to us today, even as the United States has become the most powerful nation, militarily, on the planet, but one in which many of the inequities of the World War I era still exist?
