The second analytical assignment is a thematic analysis. This is a thesis-driven short essay that analyzes and compares how one theme is represented in two cultural groups discussed in this course.
You should select one theme from the list below and choose two cultural groups that we have studied in this course. Then you should write a short paper (approximately 2-3 written pages) that compares and contrasts these two cultural interpretations of the theme using evidence from both stories in the textbook.
Format your research report in APA format, including a cover page and a reference page that indicates the texts you used for your research and any additional (credible) secondary sources (up to two additional sources are allowed).
This essay should be primarily your argumentation. This means that any paper that exceeds 30% on TurnItIn (even if properly cited) will not be marked. A paper made up of more than 30% of another person’s work does not meet the requirements of the assignment.
This assignment will generate a TurnItIn report on Slate. Any use of the language or ideas from any secondary source must be properly quoted and/or cited. Failure to do so will result in a breach of Academic Integrity according to Sheridan’s policies and will result in charges according to Sheridan’s Breach of Academic Integrity Procedure.
