Analysis Essay 10% of your final grade Rough Draft: Friday 9/13 (about 750 words) Submission Format: hardcopy in class on Thursday Final Draft: Friday 9/20 (1,000 words) Submission Format: Upload to D2L Texts to Choose From: Reason.com: Welcome to the Era of Late Socialism by Peter Sudeman https://reason.com/blog/2018/09/05/era-of-late-socialism-late-capitalism The New York Times: 5 States Are Investigating Potential Cover-Ups of Sex Abuse in Catholic Dioceses By Sharon Otterman https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/06/nyregion/catholic-sex-abuse.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage hollywoodreporter.com: Academy Postponing New Popular Oscar Category by Gregg Kilday https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/academy-postponing-new-popular-oscar-category-1140423 Purpose: To demonstrate understanding of how compositions are created through various elements of development, such as: tone, modes of discourse (description, exposition, narration, agument) and/or literary devices. The analysis should be initially framed by a review of the rhetorical context (audience, author, and topic) Your Tone: Objective (no first person or opinions) Minimum Length: 1,000 words (around 3 pages) You chose which elements or strategies of the text to analyze. The scope of your thesis is limited you are not responsible for analyzing every aspect of the composition, only what you choose as indicated by your thesis. You only NEED to include a Work Cited page if you use other outside sources. Additional Notes: As students of ENGL 1302, your primary goal is to understand how arguments work and, later, to create your own. This is the first step to achieving those goals by exploring compositional basics how writing and a thesis develop and why an author makes the choices he or she does. For this assignment, you will analyze a composition (chose one from the list above) and explore the techniques and elements that culminate into a successful composition/argument for the intended audience [suggestion** Include any fallacies you may find] The response is NOT about the articles topic The response is NOT about your opinion on the topic Write from the perspective of the learned student exploring what compositional strategies the author employs to create his/her text and develop a successful thesis/message for the intended audience (The New York Times, Reason.com, or hollywoodreporter.com) Remember: you are not likely the intended audience as of now, the original publication of the piece indicates the intended audience. Basic Structure of an Analytical Response I. Introduction: Introductions greet your reader into your response. Students are encouraged to begin with a colorful hook one to three sentences that instantly engage the reader via the topic of the article analyzed and/or the purpose of analysis II. Introduction of Article & Context: When analyzing a text, you need to fully introduce it: Title Author who is he/she? Consider establishing credibility of the author Audience who is the piece for? You can establish this by researching the original publication, and the types of readers the author aims to reach. The Authors Thesis/Claim the word thesis is often not a favorite of students. There are several reasons why. A compositions thesis requires students to fully explore a composition and then determine what it is about i. Overall, the thesis is the subject or main idea of a composition ii. In ENG: 1302, students work with arguments the thesis in argument becomes the claim a position held and defended by the author iii. There is a tendency for students to deliver the authors explicit thesis/claim (line(s) the students directly quotes). However, keep mind, professional authors may not deliver an explicit thesis/claim. Rather, the thesis/claim is implicit or implied. Meaning, as the student, you need to carefully consider the full message of the composition. In your own words, provide the authors thesis/claim Your Thesis Your thesis, as the student, is roughly authors thesis/claim + the elements and/or techniques that create the composition. III. III-V. The Body Paragraphs: In the body paragraphs, is where the student dives into the HOW and WHY a strategy/technique/element is employed by the author. In each body paragraph the student needs to: Identify and define (in your own words) the compositional element ( for example: word choice, symbolism, anecdote, imagery and etc.) analyzed Provide evidence directly from text Detail what the evidence represents Hostile tone? Citation of authority? Authorial expertise? How might this strategy affect the intended audience? How does this strategy create/develop the authors thesis/claim? VI. Conclusion Conclusions are often taught in essay writing to be a recap of the response. Yet, as you are writing a brief response of 3-5 pages (at most), your reader need not be reminded of what he/she read. Rather, end your analysis on a more poignant and/or personal note. As an ENGL 1302 student, you should constantly be thinking about the persuasive air around you and the direct arguments challenged your way: how do you feel about them? AVOID: Any use of the first person Repetition Over quoting (use paraphrasing as well) In conclusion, .. (Never end an essay by saying, In conclusion, Just leave it off and begin with what comes after.

Your health system is transitioning to a value-based care model and considering ACOs, bundled payments, and population health management initiatives. The system after thorough due diligence decided to create a new PHM program for treating chronic disease. The new program is to focus on treating chronic disease, prevention, and management. This population health program requires continuity of care and management of care transitions that maintain an ongoing connection with patients as they live their lives. To do this in a way that is financially and operationally feasible, models of care must be fundamentally assessed for patient and community needs. For this scenario, you are hired by the system to provide strategic consulting services to the system’s chief population officer (CPO) by ensuring the system population health management strategy is less depending on high-resource, low-frequency interaction but shifting toward frequent, low-intensity interactions.

Mass shootings in American schools and other public places have prompt state and federal legislators to consider “Red Flag” laws, bans on assault rifles and more thorough background checks. Gun advocates, however, are concern that such regulations will infringe on their rights under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Even though they argue about safety issues, is this really about gun culture?After addressing these proposed gun legislations, is there one you believe to be most effective and more importantly how can preventative efforts in combination with regulations address the root causes of a culture of violence? Depending on your position, consider what influence culture plays in conjunction with C. Wright Mills theory on the sociological imagination. Moreover, when explaining the effectiveness of gun laws and prevention, use Mills terms biography, history, social location, personal troubles of milieu and public issues of social structure.
