This outline is an example of a three-part essay model (as opposed to the five-paragraph essay model which you do not want to use). It details the three parts of the prompt, AND if you're having difficulty organizing your thoughts, it can be very helpful. You can also use it as a check list to make sure you have covered everything the prompt is asking for. I: Introduction/Beginning I’d like to see you use an epigram to present the topic and frame your essay. The points of your introduction should include the following: Present the general topic, including general information about the two sides and some of the problems associated with this issue. This will take more than a sentence or two.2. Establish context by presenting the author, the article “Title,” publication Title and full date of publication.3. State the author’s thesis (use the quote if you can or paraphrase).4. State your thesis. This is also called signaling your project or focus. The following is an example that you can use in your essay for your thesis. Feel free to use this in your essay. An analysis of ___(author’s name)’s___ article will identify and detail his purpose,goal and audience, and his use of tone and evidence to evaluate the article’s effectiveness. II: Body Paragraphs/Middle All paragraphs should include a topic sentence at the beginning of the paragraph and a transition at the end. Assume your audience may not be familiar with rhetorical analysis and is unfamiliar with the text; explain what the author is doing, but emphasize analysis. Be sure to identify and detail/analyze the following parts. Here’s where you will address Part 1 of the prompt and focus on the author’s purpose, goal, and audience. First you need a topic sentence to introduce the focus of this paragraph: purpose, goal and audience. Then detail the author’s purpose and goal (use the PACES half sheet). Be sure to clearly identify both in separate sentences. Then identify the author’s audience. Who is the intended audience for this publication? This will require a little research regarding age, gender, educational level, etc. You must include a parenthetical citation for where you got this info (article “Title” or “Homepage”– or the website Title but only if there is not Article “Title.” We will discuss this in class). The information about the audience should follow what you have identified as the author’s goal, since goal refers to what the author wants the audience to do having read his article; this will transition into who this audience is. This part will probably take one paragraph. Here’s where you will address Part 2 of the prompt and focus on the use of tone. First, you need a topic sentence to present this paragraph focus. Identify one example of tone in the introduction. Why does the author introduce this in his intro? What point is he trying to make? How effective is this example? Consider the persuasive appeal at work in this example (pathos, logos or ethos, but be SURE to identify what KIND of logos or emotion, etc). What kind of effect does it have on the audience in general AND on you? Then in a separate paragraph, detail how this example has prepared the reader for other examples of tone in the rest of the article. Be sure to first identify where in the body paragraphs this example occurs (toward the beginning, middle, toward the end) and the point the author is trying to make in that part of the article. What’s the connection between the example in the intro and this example? Consider the persuasive appeal the author’s tone is evoking in the audience, but be specific. If it’s pathos, then what kind of pathos? If it’s emotion, then what kind of emotion? Then detail its effect on you. (For a C paper detail a total of one example from the intro and one from the rest of the article. For a a grade higher than a C detail a total of two examples from the intro and connect these these to references from the rest of the article.) Here’s where you will address Part 3 of the prompt: one example of evidence. In a separate paragraph, you’ll need a topic sentence to present the focus of this paragraph: analyzing one example of evidence. Clearly identify where this example occurs in the article and the point the author is making at this specific place. For example, is it evidence for a supporting claim or for a counter-argument? Analyze the effectiveness of this evidence. For example, what is the persuasive appeal this evidence evokes? Be sure to be specific. Include how this evidence has affected your response towards this author’s position. For example, how has it helped to change or reinforce your position about this issue? (For a C paper, detailing one example of evidence is fine. For a B paper you need to analyze and evaluate a total of two examples of evidence. For an A paper, you will need to analyze and evaluate a total of three examples of evidence.)III: Conclusion ∗ Since you are using an epigram in your introduction, signal your conclusion with a reference to it, but do not repeat it. This is how to use a vignette or epigram as a framing device. This also helps to bring your essay full circle and back to the beginning. ∗ Do not restate what you’ve already said in the essay. This is redundant. You could make a general statement about the overall effectiveness of the article, but keep it brief. ∗ Wrap it up and end with a bang. Analyzing & Evaluating Conventions in Academic Texts___The readings: “Amethyst Initiative’s Debate On Drinking a Welcome Alternative to Fanaticism”by Radley Balko FoxNews.com Aug. 25, 2008 “There’s No Benefit to Lowering the Drinking Age” by Robert Voas Christian Science Monitor Jan. 12, 2006 In Essay #1, you were asked to do a basic analysis of one essay. In that analysis you focused on one specific claim and evidence, and counter-arguments used by that author to support his thesis. In Essay #2 you will be asked to extend your analysis by identifying and analyzing conventions in academic texts. As defined by Webster’s College Dictionary, a convention refers to “a rule, method, or practice established by usage… a general custom or accepted usage.” For this essay, you’ll be asked to focus on the use of tone and evidence, and to evaluate the effectiveness of these conventions on readers like you. You will need a Works Cited page, which means that you will also need to include the parenthetical citations after each reference to the author’s text (both direct quotes and paraphrases). Be SURE to use the Essay #2 Writing Strategy, at least as a checklist, to make sure you detail all parts of this prompt in your essay. You may also use it to organize and structure your essay. In the Writing Strategy, I have once again given you a sample thesis you can use in your essay, as well as provided more detailed information about how to develop your analysis and evaluation.The prompt: Choose one of the above articles, and write an academic essay that: Identifies the author’s purpose, goal and audience (this will require a little research to identify who reads this publication); Identifies and analyzes at least one specific example of tone in the author’s introduction, detailing how that specific example tone is repeated or extended somewhere else in the body paragraphs of the article. You must also evaluate how this use of tone affected your initial response to that author’s argument. For a C paper, one example is fine; for a grade higher than a C, you will need to analyze two examples; Identifies and analyzes at least one example of evidence on readers like you. Your analysis will need to include detailing the persuasive appeal(s) for that specific example. You must also evaluate the effectiveness of this example and how it helped you see the issue in a different light or helped to reinforce your position. For a C paper, detailing one example will be fine. For a B paper, you’ll need to detail two examples of evidence. For an A paper you’ll need to detail three examples of evidence.Regarding the effectiveness of the use of tone and evidence, be sure to detail how the author’s use of these conventions have changed or re-enforced your views on this topic. Remember, the point of the prompt is not to agree or disagree with the authors. Rather, how has the way the author presented and supported his argument effected your perception of, or attitude towards, this issue? You will be evaluated not only on how adequately you respond to the all parts of the prompt and develop your points but also on how you organize your response.LENGTH: 4-7 pgs DUE: 3-19-20 TOTAL PTS: 40 (You must have 5 pgs of your essay on this date.

CSC645/745 COMPUTER NETWORKSProject 11. GoalThe goal of this project is to write simple client and server programs for textmessaging and Internet chatting. The programming language is C and theoperating system is Linux.2. InstructionWrite a server program and a client program. The server manages a number ofclient accounts, each having a username and a password.Start the server first. When a client process is started, it has a menu for sixfunctions:0. Connect to the server1. Get the user list2. Send a message3. Get my messages4. Initiate a chat with my friend5. Chat with my friendThese functions allow the client to log onto the server through a TCP connectionusing his/her username and password, get the list of other users on the server,send a text message to another user, check his/her own text messages that wereleft by other users, and perform chat with another user.3. Sample CodeWe provide sample code consisting of an “echo” server program and a clientprogram. The client establishes a TCP connection with the server, and sends amessage to the server, which will echo the message back to the client for display.Essentially, it gives you a programming template that you can follow to writeyour own networking program.4. DemoUse the following scenario for demo. The server maintains two client accounts.One is for Alice, and the other is for Bob. Alice logs onto the server first. She getsthe user list and sees Bob. She sends a text message to Bob. The message carriesAlice’s IP address x and a port number y. After that, Alice selects “4. Initiate achat with my friend”, which terminates the TCP connection to the server, andwaits on port y for chatting with Bob. Next, Bob logs onto the server. He logs onand retrieves his text messages. After seeing Alice’s message, Bob selects “5. Chatwith my friend”, which terminates the TCP connection to the server, and starts anew TCP connection to Alice on port y. Then, Alice and Bob type in turn, and thetext typed by one will be sent to the other for display.More details can be found from the demo video posted on iLearn.5.
