According to McIntosh's article, how does racism affect the lives of white people?
Why do you think it is so difficult for whites to recognize this particular effect of racism in their own lives?
There have been many instances of police brutality and police killings of black and brown people in the past, why do you think that the recent killing of George Floyd has led to so many White people exploring their privilege for the first time?

Argument EssayUsing the topic you have chosen (remember to choose a fresh topic-not something like abortion that has been written about so often that there is no new information out there), pick a position on that topic and write a three and a half to four page paper attempting to convince your audience to agree with your topic using the strategies we have discussed in class (common ground, refutation, avoiding fallacies, etc.).  Remember, this paper can be an extension of the exemplification essay, but it must include a refutation. This essay should follow the guidelines that previous papers have used: have the proper heading, include a title, be double spaced, use 12 point Times New Roman font, and include the basic components that all essays have (an introduction with a thesis, body paragraphs, and a conclusion).  Remember also that all late papers will not be accepted.  As you are working on this paper, keep the following things in mind:Your thesis should tell reader

Please view Gad Elmaleh's American Dream on Netflix

Identify one quote from American Dream that stands out to you. This quote is what could be called a flashpoint. A flashpoint is "a quote that resonates with you, that reflects a moment of high interest in the text. It's not so much a 'main idea' as it is something that provokes you, that challenges your previous assumptions, that encourages new thinking (and writing!) about a topic or an event or phenomenon." Write about a flashpoint/quote along with a brief reflection on why it is meaningful. This should be one paragraph.

Please identify one rhetorical strategy in "Bootstraps" (attached below) that you found effective and provide a few examples from the text. When including textual citations, please refer to MLA's style for in text citations. This should also be a paragraph.

Literary Analysis Essay

Directions: Write a formal literary essay in which you analyze Zora Neale Hurstons novel Their Eyes Were Watching God with a focus on one of the two prompts below.

Option 1:

Discuss the ways in which each of Janies marriages reflects the evolution of Janies self-hood and identity in Their Eyes Were Watching God.
As this essay is a literary analysis, make sure your essay not only has a clear focus, but also has a strong thesis that frames your paper as an argument (not just a summary!). Be sure to develop essay sufficiently and to support your development with textual evidence. You may, of course, include brief quotes in support of your analysis when appropriate, but do not over-rely on direct quotations and do not include block quotes in a paper of this length. As always, be sure to properly quote and cite your sources when necessary.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Summarize  the video and article that you reviewed for this assignment and cite the summaries  in APA style. (See Quoting, Paraphrasing, & Summarizing (Links to an external site.) and Citing Within Your Paper (Links to an external site.)). Compare and contrast the messages in the two web resources, including a comparison of subject, occasion, audience, purpose, and speaker (SOAPS) in each (See Action Words in Academic Writing (Links to an external site.) and Section 1.2 Understanding Context). Share what you learned from the materials this week and identify your confidence in (or concerns about) your role as a college-level writer. You are invited to share relevant audio, video, or images in your post.

Quick tip: Make sure you are *specifically* identifying SOAPS for *both* sources after you write your summary of each.  My suggestion is actually to use bullet points or some other organizational tool as you discuss what you've found.  For example:
