Write an essay on martin luther king junior

For this essay assignment, select one person or character who is important to you as you develop and grow as a human being. You may choose from these people or figures: a person who is living or dead, a literary or film character, a musical star, a film, drama, opera star, an historical figure (living or dead), a mythical figure, a spiritual figure (deity, prophet, person), a political figure.

Choose a person you know or look up to, one whom you regard as a hero. Choose a person who has been influential in your life, someone you want to know more about, that you see as motivating or changing your way of thinking. Describe the person, then explain and analyze the importance he or she has had and continues to have in your life.

I want this essay to be quite open in form so that you may choose anyone or any character who is important to you-and then write an analytical/expository essay with research about that person.

The goal here is to learn more about yourself and who is important to your present and future life.

With that in mind, choose at least one essay from The Norton Readerand then add at least two other sources to back up your thesis. You’ll have a total of at least three sources. You may include images and sub-titles as discussed in class to add to the depth of understanding in your essay. If you add images, be sure to include explanation of the image within the text. Sub-titles are meant to move your essay from one section to another; sub-titles act as transitions.

News sources: the news stories should be a minimum of 2000 words combined and must include one of the following sources AND one foreign source: The New York Times The
Wall Street Journal The Washington Post The Economist Associated Press Reuters Formats: 600-1000 words, 12 point font, 1-inch margins. Avoid/minimize full quotations.
Paper must provide full citations, per Chicago Manual of Style, either as footnotes or in a bibliographical entry. For example: da Costa, Ana Nicolaci. 2009. “Lula
China visit to focus on widening Brazil trade.” Reuters. Brasilia, 15 May. URL: http://www.reuters.com/article/OILPRD/idUSN1519138020090515?sp=true (accessed 1 March
2017). See Professor Dougherty’s rules on citation and bibliography below. The emphasis in these papers is on your analysis of the situation. The questions above are
the goals your paper should aim to achieve. Explain the story – give the relevant facts and provide the necessary background information. Questions to start with
include: What are the short/long term causes of the event? Does it illustrate a pattern or general trend in international politics? If so, briefly explain what larger
issue the story illustrates. Whose interests are involved and why? How is the event being handled by the relevant government(s) and by the international community?
What do they hope to accomplish by pursuing this policy? You do not need to address all these questions, or answer them in this order, but they are ways to get into
the analytic questions above. Do not be afraid to present your own assessment – for example, you could argue that the United Nations should strengthen sanctions on
Iran, or that the international community needs to set firm targets for the emission of greenhouse gases. The key to writing a quality news analysis is presenting an
organized argument/explanation, and backing that up with evidence. CITATION RULES, from Professor Dougherty 1. ALWAYS spellcheck AND proofread your papers. Spellcheck
cannot catch every mistake. 2. Document your sources. Citations are required whenever you use a direct quote, borrow ideas from a source, paraphrase, or cite
statistics / numbers (the number killed in an attack in Iraq, GNP, inflation rate, population, electoral results, etc). You do not need a citation if the information
is considered “common knowledge” (the name of the Iraqi prime minister, the date of the election) or is reported in multiple sources. If you are quoting directly from
a source, you must enclose the quote in quotation marks and include a citation. Quotes of three or more lines should be indented and single-spaced, and do not require
quotation marks. Extended quotes are discouraged and should be used infrequently. Using someone else’s words either verbatim or with only minor changes without a
citation constitutes plagiary. 3. Please follow the Chicago Manual of Style (use either footnotes or endnotes). The names of newspapers, books, magazines, and journals
are italicized. SAMPLE CITATION: Sidney Crosby, “Canadian Prime Minister Resigns,” New York Times, 13 January 1998. (after the first cite: Crosby, 13 January 1998.)
SAMPLE BIBLIOGRAPHY ENTRY: Crosby, Sidney. “Canadian Prime Minister Resigns.” New York Times, 13 January 1998. The bibliography includes articles you read on the
subject but did not cite in the text of the paper. It is organized alphabetically. 4. Please page numbers on your paper, and staple it. You should not to include a
separate title page. Put your name, the course, and the date of submission at the top of the first page. The bibliography does not count towards the page limit.

Inventory analysis:

Chapter 6 Inventory analysis:
We frequently need more than one number to analyze an aspect of a company. In this case we want to analyze a company’s core profit earning potential. The gross
margin rate matters a great deal, but so does how often a company makes sales happen. Many low profit sales might do just as well as few high profit sales. In this
case we add the inventory velocity measures of inventory turns and days in inventory to better understand the effectiveness of our pricing strategy and core
profitability performance.
Companies that stock and sell products must work to keep their inventory selling quickly to minimize storage costs and obsolescence costs. Remember too that any
assets, like inventory, have to be funded by either liabilities and/or equity and those sources of capital expect a return on their investment. Holding inventory is
expensive. Service firms and other non-inventory firms have inherent efficiency advantages over traditional hard-goods firms, and those advantages will come out in
your analysis of these tools. Key tools at hand are gross profit percentage, inventory turnover rate, and number of days in inventory. I will continue evaluating the
Harley Davidson company (ticker: HOG) using www.yahoo.com/finance. Use any site you like for your company.

Locate a fake, misleading, satirical, or tabloid news article; summarize it; explain why it is fake, misleading, satirical, or tabloid news

SUMMARY
Locate a fake, misleading, satirical, or tabloid news article; summarize it; explain why it is fake, misleading, satirical, or tabloid news, and respond to the article
using the concepts discussed in chapter 2 of our textbook and the news-related material discussed in class.

Task
Your task in this assignment is: first, to carefully condense the information from your article into a summary that is accurate, objective, and concise. Then, in your
response, you will share your analysis of/and reaction to the article and then classify it as fake, misleading, satirical, or tabloid news.

Length, Deadlines, and Format
Final Draft: 2-3 pages DUE: ___________

Requirements
1. Adhere to summary criteria.
The summary must meet the three criteria discussed in class:
It must be an accurate representation of what the author is saying.
It must be a fair representation the author’s position.
It must make efficient use of the assignment’s length by presenting the subject matter in a concise fashion.

2. Your introduction should identify the article and the argument/main point.
The introduction should contain the following three things:
· Author and title
· Short description of general topic (i.e. alternative medicine)
· Clear statement of author’s argument/main point (see #4 below)

3. The summary should address the most significant information in the article.
The rest of the paper (the body paragraphs) should cover the main points of the article. You may find it useful to look back to your notes from class.

4. Use language that makes it clear that the author’s ideas are not your own.
The summary should draw on language that introduces the argument of another person. In other words, don’t simply parrot the author’s argument, but use language that
makes it clear these ideas belong to someone else.

To clarify, not every sentence needs to incorporate these verbs. As long as sentences like this one appear every now and then, it will remain clear to your reader that
the ideas are not yours but belong to the author of the article you are summarizing. There’s no golden rule for how many are necessary, but you might consider having
one or two per paragraph, or one every two to three sentences.

Other useful verbs:
acknowledges
adds
admits
agrees
argues
asserts
believes
claims
comments
compares
confirms
contends
declares
denies
describes
disputes
emphasizes
endorses
grants
illustrates
implies
insists
notes
observes
points out
reasons
refutes
rejects
reports
responds
suggests
thinks
write

It must be 2-3 pages. You should have an introductory paragraph and a paragraph for each of the main points you’re summarizing. I suggest that you use double-entry
journaling or one of the other techniques discussed in chapter 2, use your journaling or fast write to create an outline, and then write a paragraph for each part of
that outline. Say things in your own words as much as possible. If you use the author’s exact words, put them in quotes.

A few strategies for reducing summaries down into their most concise possible form include:
· Cutting nonessential information.
· Finding more general ways to express multiple specific things.
· Turning sections with lots of details into quick, concise lists then embed the items in a sentence.

RESPONSE
Your response should be a critique or evaluation of an article or essay. Unlike the summary, it is composed of YOUR opinions in relation to the article being
summarized. It examines ideas that you agree or disagree with and identifies the essay’s strengths and weaknesses in reasoning and logic, in quality of supporting
examples, and in organization and style. It shares the reasons/

criteria you used to classify the article is fake, misleading, satirical, or tabloid news. A good response is persuasive; therefore, it should cite facts, examples,
and personal experience that either refutes or supports the article you are responding to, depending on your stance/classification.

Make a clear transition from the summary to the response, and then state a clear thesis about the kind of response you will be making. For example, your thesis could
begin, “I disagree with Smith’s claim that…” or “The structure of Rubio’s article is effective…,” etc.

Develop your response by deciding whether you agree or disagree with the claim(s) in the article. Then select 2-3 ideas (main points) from the article, and then share
your ideas, reactions, analysis of those points Give several clear, relevant examples or pieces of evidence that support your position, reactions. This evidence should
include examples from the text, your own experience (where appropriate) and other outside source (perhaps another article you read for your argument). Make the whole
essay coherentfor your audience by explaining your points so that your audience won’t be left with any major questions, and choose an organizationand style that your
audience will be able to follow easily.
