When you make a claim in an essay, you express an idea or opinion about information in a text. But an effective essay does more than state ideas and opinions. To persuade your readers to accept your point of view, you’ll need to support your claim with evidence, including facts, details, examples, or logical reasons. Complete the attached worksheet from lesson 4 and use the ideas from the worksheet for your essay. Submit both your worksheet and your essay (together) for a final grade. (Please read the question to be answered carefully–this assignment is not asking you to write about The Legend of King Arthur) The prompt for the essay is below:

The legend of King Arthur is well-known in literature. Based on Unsolved Mysteries of History, there is little to suggest it is true. Do you think it is important for people to believe in legends like King Arthur even if there is little evidence to support them? Why or why not? Write a short (3 paragraphs) explanatory essay stating your opinion. Justify your opinion and conclusions with relevant textual evidence and background knowledge. Remember to use relevant vocabulary from the text in your essay.

You will need to base your report on the one-act-play, “Permission to Cry” by David Campton. A copy of the script for this play is located in Assessor Downloads below.

You are advised to read the script a number of times to enable you to identify the key areas that you will need to write about in your report.

You are also advised to watch the following video; this is one interpretation of this play, but may help you to gain a deeper understanding of the characters, performance and possible staging.

Your report will need to be divided into the following sections.

SECTION ONE
In order to demonstrate that you understand how an author creates a character, you need to analyse the ways in which characters
• are defined by their language.
• are defined by their interactions with others.
• are defined by their actions and motivations.

Remember to refer to the different characters within the play provided. You should also refer to the author’s notes that you will find on page 3 of the pdf.

SECTION TWO
In this section, you need to evaluate the effectiveness of a play’s division into acts and scenes. As the play provided is a one-act-play, you should consider the benefits and limitations of the play not being divided into scenes and acts. You should also suggest alternative formats for this play within your evaluation.

The video clip of the provided play could be considered as being divided into scenes due to the way that the production has been filmed. You should consider whether this could be effective within a real-time, theatre performance.

You will also need to analyse the progress of plot with reference to appropriate concepts, for example, expectation, surprise, dramatic irony, climax and resolution.

SECTION THREE
This sections requires you to:
• Evaluate the relationship between language and dramatic action.
• Analyse the use of language to create mood and atmosphere.

SECTION FOUR
Within this section, you need to analyse the issues involved in transferring a play from page to stage.

You must evaluate the potential of scenery, staging, lighting and costume.

You will also need to appraise the use of acting techniques including phrasing, timing and presence. The video link provided will help you with this.

When writing this section, you must ensure that you give suggestions of alternative ways that “Permission to Cry” could be staged. For example, having watched the video link provided how might you do things differently and why? In Assessor Downloads you will find some production notes about a different interpretation of the play that will provide you with alternative ideas for taking the play from page to stage.

This project is going to require you to identify a specific health concern within your own community. Search LaGrande, Oregon. Your goal is to identify a health need within your community that you feel should be brought to the attention of someone specific (private individuals, congressional members, industry, state agencies, EOU campus community, church communities, etc.). The first assignment should help you identify the major health concerns within your community.

Specifically, for this assignment, you will:
Investigate a community health problem and its social consequences. What is the issue and why is it an issue?
Identify the magnitude of the problem (provide up-to-date statistics explaining who and how many individuals are affected)
Identify the consequences of the problem. Why is the problem a concern and what are the specific risk factors for this issue?
How is it affecting your community? You will report statistic from the literature. You will need to do an extensive literature review to build your case. What are the social consequences and economic impacts within your community?
What is being done, what can still be done?
Identify relevant information to develop an argument regarding the need to address a community health problem (how prevalent it is, why is it so bad, who is it affecting, what can be done, who is doing it, social burden and consciousness)
How to fix the issue. Addressed the steps that need to be taken to fix the issue within your community. Setting goals and priorities as well as identifying the types of resources that will be needed to fix the issue should be included.

Develop a paper that presents research identifying the magnitude of the health problem

Use Peer-reviewed articles to make your argument (PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar). Internet sources or secondary sources do not count. Avoid any statements, such as, “I think, or I feel.” This is a scientific paper and it needs to be professional.

Thoroughly research your topic and prepare 10 – 15-page research paper, double-spaced with 12 pt font.

Use library database sources – at least 10 credible peer-reviewed citations from 2008 or newer.

Provide a detailed reference list in correct APA format. The paper needs to be in APA format. APA citation and format https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

Please let me know the topic of the paper by day 12. Thank you

I must re-write my paper according to his critiques without scrapping it. PLEASE FOLLOW PROFESSORS CRITIQUES, WITHOUT SCRAPPING PAPER. I WOULD LIKE IT TO LOOK LIKE MY OWN ORIGINAL WORK SO MY PROFESSOR DOESN’T THINK I USED THIS SERVICE.

Lurking within this paper are some good points about the way that the environment reflects EH’s mental state, but overall, this paper is a mess. There is no structure to speak of, and so the paper meanders just as EH does in the wilderness of expression. The short staccato paragraphs are either complete conjecture or jammed with quotations that you don’t interpolate effectively. The thesis is muddled and confused, and there are a lot of words at the beginning that have little bearing on what you are arguing. Moreover, the language is faulty, the mechanics tortured, and the overall effect is one of rushed, jumbled thinking. To make this paper better, you needed to clearly articulate your argument—what we discussed in office hours—and then to use three short interventions, with support from the text, to illustrate the way that no matter what the environment is—nature, Indians, white civilization—that this environment reflects the way that the world is against you. This seems to me to be what you are arguing, but it is lost in the language you use to express it. My advice would be to scrap this paper, and then work on outlining your argument, and using evidence effectively. This is too bad, because when you left office hours, I felt like we had a plan for your execution of this essay. That plan, however, was completely rejected here, and the result is a mismatched essay with no clear thesis, faulty evidence, and frankly, unproductive style.

-The questions require that you define accurately particular topics, while at the same time, offer interpretations that are open-ended. “Open-ended” does not mean vague or “anything goes”. It means there are more ways to interpret the ideas than just one single correct answer.

-Your response must regard the texts as evidence, and engage with them as the ground of your reasoning. Where evidence is partial or not available, your judgement on how to regard what is missing and the uncertainties the thinkers demonstrate is also relevant.

-Any citation details within the body of your essay are included in the word count. However, footnotes are NOT included in the word count.

*The topics mentioned in the questions below may be explicitly or implicitly addressed by a thinker. Either case could make your choice of text a good one. *Limit and regulate the scope of your analysis – aim not at covering ‘everything’ because it’s impossible; aim, instead, at examining, explaining and developing a relevant idea adequately in context. *In many cases, your conclusion could be open-ended, especially when more than one interpretation is possible within reasonable limits, and when there are ambiguities and uncertainties in the text itself.
