This is not an essay. I need a 10 slide PowerPoint on Plato, applying the methods and criticism he used during that era. Think of each slide as a Facebook post. Treat it like Plato’s social media page (if he had one during that time)

Step 1: Create an outline with thesis statement. Please use the attached document as a “fill-in-the-blanks” outline.
Step 2: At this point, you’ve organized your ideas into an outline. As a reminder, here is the formal assignment prompt: This literary criticism essay explores a common theme or motif in at least two works of literature. This essay explores its topic in greater depth than the previous short essays, and must use supporting sources. The criticism essay will be a more elaborate version of the short essays you’ve written in this course. In fact, you can use one of your short essays as a first draft.
Choose at least two works of literature that we have studied in this course. Choose a common theme, topic, or motif in these two works. Your essay should explore the following:
Similarities and differences between how these works treat your theme, topic, or motif.
The significance of your theme, topic, or motif.
The main point you want to make about the theme, topic, or motif—in other words, an argumentative thesis statement.
Details from the literary works that support your thesis statement.
This essay should follow the basic introduction, body, conclusion structure learned in College Composition. Since this is a literary criticism essay, your analysis and argument should be rooted in a close reading of your literary sources. For this essay, you’ll also need to use supporting sources. In many cases, you’ll find that scholarly research has been done on your specific literary works. In other cases, you may look for research related to the genre, theme, or historical context of these works. You must have at least 5 sources. (This is a minimum number. There is no maximum number.) Your sources must include at least 2 works of literature that we have studied during this course. Your sources must also include at least 2 academic journal articles or academic nonfiction books. Your essay should be at least 1200 words long.

Important Details: The essay instructions state “The criticism essay will be a more elaborate version of the short essays you’ve written in this course. In fact, you can use one of your short essays as a first draft.” Please disregard this! It’s not a requirement. Please just create a brand new essay based on the two stories you chose and the points you decided to make.
Lastly, please cite everything appropriately. Thank you kindly.

I need a 9 page papet about the movie “lady bird”, “Persepolis” or “moonlight”. The thesis must focus on a tension found within the story and I need to use 5 peer reviewed articles as citations. If this is done well with no plagiarism and minimal mistakes I’ll personally tip another 20 to the writer. I need this badly.
The paper should be typed, and double-spaced; the length should be 5-7 pages. Please use MLA style and include a works cited page. As far as cited sources go, the assigned required and recommended readings, as well articles accessed through JSTOR or Project MUSE are permissible. (Just say NO to Wikipedia as a cited source!)
James Baldwin’s novel, Giovanni’s Room, deals with several issues regarding what it means to be an American from the standpoint of another country. Clearly, “American” or national identity intersects with other identity categories: gender, sexuality, and race. Additionally, these intersecting identities are played out within the many “rooms” in the novel (Giovanni’s room and cell, Guillaume’s apartment, the bar room, David’s house, New York City and Paris as types of rooms, etc.). Write an essay that addresses some of the intersecting identities contained within a room (e.g., national identity and sexuality in Giovanni’s room, etc.) and explains the significance. Pull one or more sources in addition to the novel to frame the main and supporting points of your paper.

Term Paper – Your Essay MUST BE: Comparative (It must cover Two works we have studied this year which are Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart and The Iron Heel by Jack Landon), touch a theme that arises from the texts, be literary, and present an argument (that is – not be mere description). It must incorporate 2 scholarly articles.
Very Important: Remember that, at its heart, this is a class about literature. It is imperative that you demonstrate a knowledge of literary terms that we discuss in class within your course work. Though sociology and psychology might be helpful in interpreting texts, this cannot be the focus of your work. Just as you would not focus on an author’s use of alliteration in a sociology essay, please avoid writing about society in your literary assignments. That is to say, arguing that a character in a novel is good or evil (or similarly general topics) does little to advance your understanding of the workings of literature. Using a literary term to connect your texts and the particular theme of Law that you chose is, therefore, imperative.
You need to argue, not describe. Saying an author uses an element like metaphor is not an argument. Saying that metaphor is the driving force to understanding the theme of addiction is a strong argument.
You need to quote from the text in each and every post, whether it’s your original work or a reply to a peer. Paraphrases or summaries are not quotations. You need direct citations from the texts, in quotation marks, with page numbers, line numbers (poems), (act.scene.line) for a play, or in the case of films, times.
Remember: you will always need at least one theme related to Crime, Punishment + Justice, and one literary device to succeed in these assignments.
