Assignment: Summary-Analysis - Comparative Analysis with Primary and Secondary Sources
Write a 3 to 4 page analysis essay on one of the following articles: "In Defense of Cultural Appropriation," or "Tigger Warnings and the Swaddled Generation."
Like the first assignment, the introductory paragraph will summarize the article. The thesis will come at the end of the summary. The bodies will analyze author's argument(s).
To support your thesis, you will need to include primary and secondary evidence. If you choose to analyze "Trigger Warnings," you'll use "Harvard Study" as secondary evidence; if you choose to analyze "In Defense of Cultural Appropriation," you'll use "A Guide to Understanding Cultural Appropriation."
Provide at least 4 total quotesor paraphrases from articles to support your thesis; include in-text citations and a work cited page. All of the articles are electronic version, so you will not include page numbers.
Both sources must be cited.
Use MLA format (heading, spacing, margins, page numbering), present tense, and third person point of view.
Example Works Cited Citation:
Provide the author name, article name in quotation marks, title of the web magazine in italics, publisher name, publication date, URL, and the date of access.
