What is the purpose of a union? How do unions affect your daily life and are they still a necessary function in modern business?
This assignment should reflect your understanding of the works you’ve chosen to discuss, and explain—based on research—how the earlier work influences the later pieces, and analyze how the literature reflected the culture of the time. Historical context is discussed in the textbook, and can be used as supporting material in your paper.
The final paper must include a thesis—this is a statement which you will be supporting throughout your paper. You will make claims and provide evidence to show those claims are true. Support your claims by citing research—quotes or ideas—from other authors. When citing an author, it’s best to explain how the quote supports your original idea, present the quote, and then show how that quote advances your claims. [Resources for how to use quotes and other research can be found in the Ashford Writing Center.]
This paper should focus on the ideas, beliefs, values, images, and writing of literature at hand, and in the context of the selected works. Your personal life experiences should not be used as evidence in making your claims. Keep your ideas rooted in the text. For sources other than the primary works found in the textbook, it is recommended you turn to the Recommended Readings, all found in JSTOR through the Ashford Online Library. Feel free to search for other articles in that database—they are all credible and recognized for academic integrity.

You are the artistic director for a local theatrical company. You’ve received an arts council grant to put on a production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, with one catch: you’re to modernize it. You may use contemporary settings (but keep the language), you may rearrange scenes, you can include recent music as a soundtrack (or set scenes in a nightclub, with appropriate music), or even, if you wish, update the language itself. What would you do, and why? Be thorough, be convincing, and link your ideas to passages in the text. While it’s conventional to cite Shakespeare passages “3.3.112,”(meaning, Act 3, Scene 3, line 112, which sometimes is written III.iii.112), for our purposes, we can be more casual, and you may just list the NITL page or pages in a regular MLA parenthesis. If you rely on outside sources—always a good idea—cite those too, always following MLA format. A play worth being aware of (also made into a movie) is Stoppard’s Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, which updates Hamlet to include existential philosophy and sideways allusions to Beckett’s Waiting for Godot.
