Description

Once understood to be exclusively an ethnographic essay, your final project is now a bit broader.. For those of you who were unable to get much fieldwork done, the project can now rely more on academic material (books, articles), while still being grounded in your experiences. So, your project may have been on the Hare Krishna temple; perhaps now it’s on Hare Krishnas in the United States. Your project may have been about a particular youth group in a particular Christian church; maybe now it’s on youth education—or something like that—in the American Christian landscape. Again, your work can inform the research, and you can still artfully add your edited and stylized fieldnotes, but the project will also have a much larger scope. which is now 6-10 pages.


needs to be about some facet of religious life, and it should use multiple sources (articles, books, interviews, fieldnotes, etc.). In general, you will need some sort of introduction, and for sure within a page or two you'll want to share with the reader what the paper is about. But you don't need a strictly explicit "thesis statement" ("I will argue..."). I like to start with something very specific--a story, a place, event, person--and then focus out to something more general. The goal in all of this is to be readable and interesting. Along the way, you'll want to keep your reader interested, and if you have a point you want to make clear, then you should make sure you continue to attend to that point throughout the paper. Wrap it up with a conclusion that brings things together but also makes us think in some new way.

Another way to write ethnography is to read ethnography. Below are two of my articles (one of which you've already read). They're very short, and you can get a sense of my expectations. But think about them in terms of component pieces. How do I use fieldnotes? How do I use quotes? When am I specific? When am I general? How do I connect paragraphs? That's to say, how does this all work structurally? Again, these are not at all required. Read them if you want.

The first one, which you've already read, is the one about goddess possession in NYC. Read here

The second one is about hippies doing Hindu things in Joshua Tree, CA. Read here

Sacrifice in Islam
Introduction
I have always enjoyed the festival of Eid-Ul-Fitr. Stepping out into the sunny afternoon
with lots of food and merrymaking always rekindles many memories. Laughter and children's
screams always fill the air. However, this year, the festivities are no more. COVID-19 has had its
fair share of the occasion with many Muslims around the world being forced to engage in
confined and isolated festivities.
One of the most observed practices in Islam is Ramadan. This is a holy month of
obligation where all Islam faithful are required to commit to fasting. Also, fasting and
almsgiving are common practices for the entire community. As such, this is a community
practice that is characterized by social gatherings for sharing and teachings. During the
coronavirus pandemic, the implications of the social distancing rules have immensely affected
the annual practice for Muslims across the world. Muslims in the State of California are highly
affected by this practice especially the business community that at times depends on this
occasion to make a high profit to compensate for other low seasons in the year.

Elanna is one of the community leaders with such experience. In an interview, Elannan
disclosed that her Islam-themed restaurant is usually flooded with Muslim customers during the
Holy Month who are looking to break their fast. This accounts for about 80% of her annual
profit.
“During this period [the holy month], my restaurant is surrounded by hundreds of people
in the courtyard looking to break the fast. Now [the restaurant] is empty. We are only serving a
few customers who are ordering for taking away meals."
Elanna looks forward all year long for this period. However, she is not the only one
affected in California. Many Islam faithful are unable to partake in various annual rituals that
they have been accustomed to. As such, there is a need to understand, the meaning of some of
the practices that they engage in and the significance that is attached to them especially in
California.
Discussion
The Islam community has five crucial pillars. One of these pillars is Ramadan (Alghafli
et al., 2019: 1). During the period, all Islam faithful who are post-puberty is obligated to fast
during the day hours. However, some community members are exempted such as the sick,
elderly, travelers, and breastfeeding mothers among others (Alghafli et al., 2014). The Quran
states, “O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was for those before you (Quran 2:
183-184). To this extent, Ramadan becomes one of the most sacred periods in the Muslim
calendar. This period looks at sanctifying the behavior of the Muslim faithful, improves
community relationships, and also improves on their connections with Allah.

Surname 3
The improvement of community relationships encompasses various factors including the
family as the central point. In a study, Marks & Dollahite (2011) found that fathers that engaged
in deeper religious practices had a deeper conne...
