write an essay that is four pages on one of the following topics. Use MLA format. The minimum page length is three and a half pages. Your essay should include an introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.Choose one of the prompts that are described as follows:1. Apply psychoanalytic criticism to the characterization of Gilgamesh or Achilles. Compare and contrast one character's motivations from various viewpoints. Are they controlled predominately by reason or the irrational mind? Review ethical and logical standpoints of the characters. Freud explains that the neurotic crisis is “the struggle between the interest of self-preservation (ego) and the demands of man's aggressive nature (id).” Apply psychoanalytic criticism to analyze the motivations and roles of these characters. Analyze how Achilles exemplifies the Homeric code of ethics through his courage, despite his irrational nature at times. Focus on specific lines from the dialogue that will justify your claims.2. Define the heroic identity of Beowulf as an epic hero. Focus specifically on two or three ethical motivations behind the predictability of rationality in his actions. How do his traits make his role stand out among other epic heroes within the historical context of the work? In other words, you are looking at this from the context of the ancient world. Focus specifically on how historical, religious, philosophical, political, or cultural elements in the work influence his predictability as a heroic character. Would his role as an epic hero be the same if he was not a predictable character? Why or why not? Compare and contrast him to Achilles, who is always not a predictable character, due to the unpredictability of his emotions. This occurs though he, too, is an epic hero like Beowulf.3. Justify a point of view on Antigone in which you either support the female as a tragic heroine or refute her identity as such in the context of the matter of state versus religion. You can focus on how Antigone stands for the philosophical components of the ancient Greek culture, such as stoicism, Plato's philosophies on the divine law, or Aristotle's view of the soul as one with the body. How does her appeal to the ethics of the philosophers of the divine law of the gods justify her case as a tragic heroine as she stands for these schools of thought? How does her tragic role represent the past views of the ancients that were changed with new worldviews represented by the role of Creon?

This is this weeks assignment I need, but below that is what it ultimately leads to and the origin of the assignmnet. Just need week 4 for nowFormal Report or Proposal Topic Selection (Week 4)This week we begin the major assignment for this course: a formal report or a proposal.For this week's assignment, you will write a memo addressed to your instructor in which you share your plans for your Course Project. In order to convince your instructor to approve your topic, you must explain what your topic is, why you have chosen it, and how you plan to complete it successfully. You may find it helpful to divide your memo into three paragraphs: the what, the why, and the how. The recommended length of this assignment is one page. See Appendix B, Formatting for Letters and Memos, pages 561–562 to learn more about memo format and for a sample memo.Formal Report or Proposal OverviewAlthough there is not a Course Project for technical communication in the traditional sense, there is a significant, multistep assignment beginning in Week 4 and continuing through Week 8—a formal persuasive report or business proposal.The two most common types of formal, longer, business documents are reports and proposals. There are some similarities between the two but some important differences as well. Formal reports are internal documents. They are written to be read by other members of the organization. Proposals, on the other hand, are external documents. They are meant to be read by people outside of the organization. Based on your interests and experience, you will choose to write either a formal persuasive report or a business proposal.If you choose to write a formal report, its subject will be the improvement of a product, service, or process that the company offers. The audience for this report will be the decision makers at the organization who have the ability to approve your idea. Here are a few sample ideas for formal reports.Assume you work in a bank. You have an idea to make it easier for new customers to switch banks without missing any bill payments.Assume you work for a charitable organization. You have a plan to encourage more donations or to attract more volunteers.Assume you are in the military. You have a plan to improve morale or to enhance combat readiness.You may base your report topic on your current job or a previous one. If you don't have formal work experience, you may base your report on the type of organization you'd like to work for in the future.Alternatively, you may choose to write a business proposal. A business proposal is a plan for a new business, aimed at attracting financial support. You may choose any type of business you like, but it should be consistent with your major and your career goals.Important note: While reusing and recycling is great for the environment, it is not allowed here. You must use an original idea and original research for this assignment. You may not resubmit an assignment from another class.Regardless of your choice, the required length is the same, a minimum of 1,500 words. In addition, you will create a presentation based on your report or proposal. It will be approximately 5 minutes long.Chapters 12 and 13 provide guidelines and examples to help you to write your report or proposal.
