Analyzing a poet’s narratives, you must select two poems as the focus of your analysis.

Select one American novelist, poet, short story writer, essayist, or dramatist whose narrative was published before 1865. Your textbook’s table of contents would be the best place to start your artist selection process. In your textbook, read the artist’s biography and become acquainted with the artist’s literary themes and worldviews. No two students will be allowed to select the same artist. The focus of your research is your artist’s literary work, not the artist’s biography. Next, select a novel, short story, play, essay, or poems as the focus of your research. The best papers will investigate an important theme in your artist’s narrative as it fits within the construct of the American literary canon. I am not looking for a biography, but a short biographical sketch would be useful when viewing the artist’s work via contextual analysis. If you are analyzing a poet’s narratives, you must select two poems as the focus of your analysis. Your abstract should measure one double-spaced page in length, and it should reveal the direction of your research. The annotated bibliography should list eight to ten sources in the manner of a works-cited list, and those annotations should feature at least four sentences per entry. Each annotation should describe the source and explain why it is an important contribution to your project. Ultimately, the annotated bibliography will become your list of works cited. Utilize the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers for format guidelines. You will also need it in order to integrate your research into the actual paper. You will be penalized if you do not write your paper according to the guidelines set in the style manual. Finally, your paper should measure eight to ten pages in length, excluding your Works Cited page(s). It should be typed and double-spaced with a font size of ten or twelve. Do not include a cover page. Your first page should include your name, the course title, and the date in the upper left-hand corner. Next, you should create an illuminating paper title. Do not forget to include the list of works cited at the end of your document, and you should remove the annotations.

Brief through some important details that will help you craft the most unique, personalized essay.

To Whom It May Concern: The application essay topic, reads as follows– Choose an issue of importance to you—the issue could be personal, school related, local, political, or international in scope—and write an essay in which you explain the significance of that issue to yourself, your family, your community, or your generation. 1) To begin with, I want to brief you through some important details that will help you craft the most unique, personalized essay. The issue, at hand, seeks to reveal my most personal, passionate and sensitive topic; therefore, I do not want to dwell on my academics, volunteering services or extracurricular activities, as I already include that in my application information’s page. I want to address the topic of the upcoming presidency, and the current presidential run, with most of the attention on Donald Triumph, the republican candidate who seeks to barricade borders and have an expansive stop to immigration. My family is from India, more so a small town by the name of Pusad, in the state Maharashtra, of India. The possibility of our immigration to the United States, at my age of 6 months, was only possible through the immigration reforms and laws set out to truly reflect the United States, focusing solely as the country of opportunity. But, as more stricter immigration standards are being set, this is negatively affecting our globe, our community and more directly, my people and my families in India. I only way, I am the person I am today is through the may resources and tools available to me, from the best quality of life to the extensive education system. America helped me discover myself and has crafted me into the man I am today in all intellectual, personal, ethical, spiritual and a more holistic manner. America is the reason I live in the house I have today, the car I drive, the many businesses my dad has, the clothing that is well rested in my closet, and many more. I want this essay to touch upon the many opportunities that have been available to my family, and my deep concern as to the difficulties that many people around the world face, as they live in a more improvised and unsatisfied manner. I want to focus on all races that have been affected, mostly including that of my own, India, and how my families back home are having trouble surpassing the tribulations that the so called “country of opportunity” is placing on them. I want to demonstrate ways I have outgrown and how I am planning on alleviating this issue. Just a well, crafted and articulate essay that will basically assure my acceptance into the college. I hope you can help me out and if you need help please get in touch with me through the website.
