(compare and contrast paper)1) Description: for this essay, you will compare and contrast two novels*. You can choose between the following novels: ?  Bram Stoker’s Dracula?  Colum McCann’s Transatlantic?  Tana French’s Broken Harbor*You can substitute a short story for one novel. Choose between Ifedinma Dimbo (“Grafton Street of Dublin”), Melatu Okorie (“Shackles”) or a text referenced in Dr. Muhall’s talk (I’ve posted these on Canvas under “Modules”). Please note that your essay cannot be a comparison of 2 short stories; you have to include at least one novel from the above list! In your essay you will construct an original argument supported by your analysis of these 2 texts. While you’ll determine the precise topic of your  paper,  your  broader  focus  should  be  on  the  issues  related  to diversity, inequality and/or national identity. Thus, for example, you could  focus  on  the  private/public  dichotomy  as  represented  in Broken Harbor  and Dracula  in  order  to  investigate  issues  of  inequality  and identity. You’re not allowed to consult any texts or websites outside the ones listed above. However, in case you feel that you need to use an outside source to give more context or supply background information, you can  reference  any  of  the  presentation  articles.  The  full  list  of presentation  articles  is  on  Canvas  under  “Pages,”  and  all  of  these articles can be accessed through JSTOR. Please note that your essay cannot be a broad list of similarities and/or differences between these two texts. Instead, you will have to identify a narrower point/theory that you are going to concentrate on. Remember to keep your conclusions firmly grounded in these texts, supporting your assertions with evidence from the text. In other words, do NOT summarize (or list examples of X, Y, Z in both) but ANALYZE!2) Length, citation format etc.: 5-6 pages, MLA3) Academic Honesty: Avoid Googling in preparation for this essay. Ideas used from sources not cited or passages of any length taken from someone else without quotation marks or adequate paraphrase and citation will constitute plagiarism, resulting either in F for the paper or for the course. All essays will be analyzed by plagiarism software upon submission to Canvas.4) Deadlines:5/5 (Wednesday): in-class workshop (prior to class post a draft on Canvas!)5/14 (Friday): your essay is due @ 10:30 AM on Canvas on the day of the final exam5) Expectations:A strong essay? “hooks” the audience with its opening and leaves them thinking with its closing? has a strong thesis that conveys the gist of your argument. Although this is an analysis, you’re still putting forward an argument. In other words, you cannot “just analyze” without putting forward a strong central point? includes textual evidence (quotations from the text) to strengthen your claims? employs transitions that will help the reader to follow the logic of your argument? correctly uses MLA format both for in-text citations as well as for the works cited page ? avoids being descriptive. Do not summarize the play/novel: you need to formulate your own theory about the text! When you have a specific goal in mind, it is easier to avoid simply describing the novel or the short story.

Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: Textbook: Chapter 13 Lesson Narrated PowerPoint Tutorial (Make sure to review this tutorial before you begin recording.) Introduction In this session, you have been considering moral-ethical dilemmas you yourself faced or that you know of that you either resolved or failed to resolve, but hopefully learned from. You may never have given much thought to ethical theory nor what ethical premises/paradigms you have unconsciously held. You will be focusing on this case for this assignment: Jane Doe is a nursing student at University X. Jane is in week eight of a course entitled: "Introduction to Ethics". For the week one discussion, Jane copied work done by her friend John Doe in the same class two months ago (with a different professor). John told Jane it was okay to use his work as John's professor never checked any work in the class using Turnitin.com. John claimed to have earned an A on the work also. In week two, Jane went to StudentPapering.com and paid ten dollars for a week two essay done by a student (not John Doe) who took the same course four months ago. StudentPapering promises that all its archived work is of excellent quality and cannot be detected as copied. Jane then uploaded an exact copy of the work for the week two assignment. In week three, Jane paid a worker at PaperingStudent.com ten dollars to write for Jane a brand new essay after Jane shared with the worker the essay assignment instructions. In week four, Jane relied on her knowledge of Esperanto. She felt pressed for time and found an article by a professor from Esperanto on the week four topic. She translated Esperanto into English using Moogle Translate, and the translated text served as her week four paper. In week five, Jane was running late again. Jane purposely uploaded a blank paper hoping that she would later claim it was an innocent mistake and not be assessed a late penalty. In a previous course on History, she had done the same (with an earlier paper from the History class rather than simply a blank) and had not seen any late penalty assessed. In week six, Jane took work she did in a nursing course from a year ago and submitted that for her discussion posting in her current class. She simply copied and pasted the work she had labored intensively on a year ago (even though University X forbids this practice as 'self-plagiarism'). Jane was confident her Nursing instructor never checked that work using Turnitin.com or another method. In week seven, Jane copied and pasted work found on website.com for the paper. Jane did not use any quotation marks or other documentation to show the text was not by Jane. Since Jane's Ethics professor did not check papers and posting for any issues by using Turnitin.com or another method, the professor graded all of Jane's work unaware of Jane's actions throughout the weeks of the class. Jane feels her actions are morally justified both because her economic situation requires her to work too much to devote time to school (although other students are well-off enough to have such time) and her religion forbids cheating, but Jane ignores her religion's teachings. Instructions Now that you have had an opportunity to explore ethics formally, create a reflective assessment of your learning experience and the collaborations you engaged in throughout this session. You will submit both of the following: A written reflection An oral presentation using a PowerPoint narrated slide show. For the written reflection, address Jane Doe's and respond to the following: Articulate again your moral theory from week eight discussion (You can revise it if you wish). What two ethical theories best apply to it? Why those two? Apply to Jane Doe's case your personal moral philosophy as developed in week eight discussion and now. Use it to determine if what Jane Doe did was ethical or unethical per your own moral philosophy. Consider if some of these examples are more grave instances of ethical transgressions than others. Explain. Propose a course of social action and a solution by using the ethics of egoism, utilitarianism, the "veil of ignorance" method, deontological principles, and/or a theory of justice to deal with students like  Jane. Consider social values such as those concerning ways of life while appraising the interests of diverse populations (for instance, those of differing religions and economic status). For the oral presentation, briefly summarize your feelings about taking a course in Ethics and explore your process of transformation in this course. Discuss your experiences of the course, your beginnings, and where you are now. Consider your interaction in discussions. Should health care workers be required to take a course in Ethics?
