will ask you to narrate an experience that you are experiencing personally that presents a problem in your life and how best it could be solved. Using The Undying as an example of narrating arguments about a personal problem that has to be dealt with, you may choose to invoke metaphor, symbol, and/or historical content as part of your persuasion as Boyer does in her memoir.
This paper will require research from at least 3 outside, secondary, published sources cited in MLA format. Your sources must be relevant, credible, published within the last 5 years unless historical or sacred material is used, and the sources should be separate from one another. You can’t use 3 articles from the same newspaper, for example. MLA style will be explained in class and Pages handouts in Canvas show how to cite your sources.
You will also need a Works Cited Page at the end, listing all identifying publication information about each source cited in the paper.
For this paper, you will present an argument about a current, ongoing problem you have right now and present a series of ways to handle it, supported through research.
Research will focus on supporting evidence for your central argument (why the problem is a problem) and possible solutions.
