Compose an expository essay of approximately 750 words that considers how one or more of Machiavelli’s chapters (16, 17, 18) could guide policy in the governing of a modern nation (United States or other) at this current time. It does not have to reflect your personal opinion on government or presume that the approach would be successful. The essay should make regular reference to specific passages from The Prince and cite one or more relevant contemporary issues in governing. Since the paper is short, do not try and overextend your reach that will result in superficial examples and generalizations. Rather, pick an important, but focused issue and provide detailed examples.

I need lengthen this essay, My word count is at 244 and I want it to be 300-350 words. I want some more detail and better structure/organization because I’m not the best writer. You can feel free to make up details or change whatever you want. You have the freedom to add what you might think would improve it, making it a bit more emotional/touching would be nice. I just need a good story.
Instructions, Rubric and Guidelines are attached. Needs to be of 2 complete pages BEFORE the title page and reference sheet

This week you will read about architecture. The lesson includes information on Roman architecture, which was greatly influenced by the Greeks and Etruscans.
Locate at least two architectural works that were influenced by Greco-Roman architecture. These can be from any time period after the Greco-Roman period but should be from different periods themselves (e.g., one from Renaissance and one from Baroque). Then address the following:
What is the function of each structure?
How does each work exhibit influence of the Greco-Roman period? Is the influence specifically Greek, Etruscan, or Roman – or a combination?
How would you compare the two selected works? Take the role of the evaluative critic.
Use examples from the text, the lesson, and the library to help support your answer. Please remember to provide images and citations to help illustrate your points.

Option 2: Examine a specific artwork influenced by a literary work and how the artist captured the subject or story. Discuss how the art piece reflects themes that defined the literary movement. Here are a few examples, but you are not restricted to this list: please include picture
Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne or The Rape of Prosperina (influenced by ancient myths)
B. Choose an ART Work – Discuss literary story or myth that influenced it.
Your second option would be to find an art work that has an influence from literature / myth. An example would be (it happens to be on the same literary topi
“Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” – Grant Wood 1939 – c. Fair Use
Arthur Hoppock Hearn Fund, 1950
So, to complete the 2nd Option, you would then discuss the painting and the biography of the artist Grant Wood, including perhaps his style, and discussing what is IN the painting, what you observe and see, and the relationship of the imagery in the painting to the actual history of the ride that Paul Revere took. You could also do as you did in Option A above, and look for historical information on Paul Revere.
These are two ways that you can fulfill this week’s Discussion assignment – it DOES INCLUDE looking for literature, finding out about history, politics, the biography of the writer, and ALSO looking if you do Option B for an art work such as a painting or sculpture, that is related to literature or myth.
O 1: Identify the content, forms, and/or techniques of work of art (e.g., architecture, fine art, literature, and/or drama).
CO 2: Analyze the content, forms, and/or techniques of a work of art (e.g., architecture, fine art, literature, and/or drama).

Both Paul and Augustine experience literal and figurative journeys in their respective stories. Over the course of these travels they are exposed to ideas that challenge their previously held beliefs. Do they respond in similar ways? Do their ideas or frameworks for understanding the world help one or both of them reconcile what they thought they knew with their newfound truths? This prompt is about philosophical systems interacting with the human world. You need to combine an argument as to how both Paul’s and Augustine’s philosophical frameworks collide, contradict and/or coexist with their lived experiences. Be specific in both the philosophical approaches and lived experiences sections of your essay. Remember to include a counterargument in your essay. Finally, there needs to be something that links the two people throughout the essay. This isn’t an apples to oranges comparison as their are multiple points of comparison between the two people. You should clearly highlight those for the reader and make them part of your argument.
These are the instructions and format for the assignment. Please follow this when doing the assignment. There are attached files for clearer and further information.
Your argumentative statement is “rationalists have a more realistic view of life and what it means to be human than empiricist.” PART I: PRESENT THE ARGUMENT
Write out your argument in paragraph form, like a normal person would, using standard rules of grammar, syntax, etc.
PART II: ARGUMENT ANALYSIS
Analyze your argument as follows:
· Put in parentheses words/phrases that conjoin reasons (premises) and target (conclusion).
· Underline the target (conclusion).
· Put in square brackets each proposition that expresses a reason (premise).
· Number the propositions expressing the reasons (premises) and the target (conclusion).
PART III: PREMISE JUSTIFICATION
Provide justification for any of the premises that require it. For clarity’s sake, be sure to match the justification to the number assigned to the desired premise in Part II
PART IV: FORMAT THE ARGUMENT
Now, write out the argument in point form (“argument form”) making sure to draw a line between the premises and the conclusion.
PART V: DIAGRAMMING
Diagram the argument as shown in class.
PART VI: ARGUMENT CLASSIFICATION
Indicate whether your argument is deductive or inductive.
Finally, repeat these steps for any further arguments you are making.
