Literature

How does the repertoire you’ve chosen relate to issue of race,class, gender, sexuality, or other definers of identity?

Summarize two articles separately, needs personal thoughts and reflection on hotel management knowledge, not only the summary of the article. Each summary should be around 500 words.Article Summaries – A General GuideYou will be asked to engage with a series of readings outside of the textbook material and compose a summary/critique of these selected readings. To manage our class size and your workload, you will be assigned to complete 4 sets of article summaries throughout the duration of the semester.Demonstrate that you have invested some time with the reading, drawn out some of the core information, and contemplated the relevance and importance of the reading within our context (Examples might include: How has it changed, altered, or challenged your knowledge of the topic so far? Your understanding about our industry? In what way does this reading intersect, conform, or challenge some of the materials we are learning in this course?)There is no single ‘right way’ to approach your summary and the process of working through new information can be messy. However, as upper year students, you should be striving to summarize and analysis information both for your own benefit and to have the ability to share it with others in a meaningful way. As such, your summaries should communicate value to another reader beyond a simple reproduction of items within the assigned piece. You might consider identifying the style / type of reading, the key focus of the piece, some of the core learning(s) that you took out of the material, and how you have processed it within the context of our course.

Please write your response to one of the texts included in this folder. Your response (at least 800 words in total) should have the following four sections: 1. Literal comprehension: In this section, summarize the text, by highlighting the main argument and including the details used in the reading. Try to represent the essay the way it is so that your response gives readers a comprehensive sense of the text. Avoid making any comments at this point. Your task is to describe the argument in your words as literally as possible. Please avoid being trapped in the discussion of arrangement. For this section, many students automatically start writing how the essay starts, what is there in the middle, or how it ends. That is too easy and does not take much intellectual exercise. Summarize the reading holistically so that everything important is incorporated.   2. Interpretation: This section should interpret the text. Interpreting a text means deciphering how a text generates a message. So, think of these questions as you work for this section: What message or meaning is the writer trying to impart? How does the writer do that? What writing and rhetorical strategies does the writer use to generate that meaning or message?  What assumptions does the writer make about the subject matter and readers? What is stated clearly, and what is implied. Thus, your tasks in this section is to explain the text by using your close readings skills.   3. Critical Thinking: This section is reserved for your evaluation of the text. Using your critical thinking skills, discuss the strengths and limitations of the argument in the reading, and then present your judgment on the writer’s success to achieve the purpose. The following questions can help you with critical thinking: Is the argument valid? Too what extent? What unwarranted assumptions does the writer make? What important elements are not discussed? What details could the writer have included? What viewpoint does the writer emphasize? Does the writer’s emphasis on one thing undermine another kind of perspective? How would have the writer come up with a better argument? 4. Assimilation: Now, in this section, state your view on the subject matter. To what extent do you agree with the writer, and where are your views going to be different? You can also discuss how your perspective changed because of the text, and what you are going to do with this knowledge. Your task in this section is to demonstrate that you can assimilate other people’s ideas with your thoughts and use them constructively.

Essay 2: Vocal Communication of Humans and Nonhuman PrimatesThis assignment pertains to learning objectives GELO 1-3 and CLO 3-5Topic: In this essay, you will compare and contrast human language and the vocal communication of nonhuman primates. Specifically, you should analyze how the vocal communication systems of humans and nonhuman primates compare in terms of:(1) production mechanism (anatomy and process);(2) repertoires (types of signals and range of meanings that the signals convey); and(3) underlying cognitive abilities (grammar, referentiality, intentionality, theory of mind, etc.).Questions (1) and (2) should be discussed briefly; your primary focus is question (3), which should take up a majority of both space and emphasis in your essay. One of the key questions in the study of human language considers which aspects of language are uniquely human and which may be considered part of our primate heritage (see Zuberbuhler 2012). This is a difficult question, on which there is no consensus in the scientific community and you will not resolve the issue yourself. Your focus here should be on the cognitive aspects of communication.Regarding question (2), we take it as given that human languages are capable of producing an unlimited variety of utterances and conveying a full range of meanings, intentions, and emotions (cf. Pinker, Ch. 2). As for (3), you can use what you know about your own language use and experiences to explore human cognition and communication. However, do not go into a lengthy discussion of human language; the focus should be on nonhuman primates for these questions.Guidelines: Essays are assessed not only for content, but also for grammar, clarity, conciseness, and coherence. Strive to make your essays accurate, relevant and organized, and use academic English. Your writing should demonstrate an understanding of key scientific terms related to sound and communication, with accurate use of relevant technical terms. You might think of this as writing a short article directed towards an educated layperson, and it should read as a prose essay, not a lab report outlining observations. The purpose is to assess your writing skills in addition to your understanding of the material presented in class.For source material, you may draw on a mix of course lectures, videos, and assigned readings, but to earn full credit, you must include material from (and properly cite) at least two articles from the course readings. You are, of course, welcome to use more than two course readings. No outside sources are required, though you are certainly welcome to draw on other research materials if you like. There is no need to provide citations for material you draw from lectures, unless the material originated from one of the readings or videos. Properly cite both in-text and at the end of the essay these and any other data drawn from course readings and videos. You may use either MLA or APA style citation as long as you are consistent in the citation format. If you do use additional sources, be sure to cite them as well. As with any academic writing, the ideas you present in your paper if they are from a specific source (other than ideas you came up with yourself) you must cite them both in-text (within the body of your paper) and at the end of the essay in a reference list.Formatting and SubmissionProvide your own original, descriptive title for your essay. (Do not simply copy and paste “Vocal Communication of Humans and Nonhuman Primates”).Your essay must be a minimum of 1200 words long, but no longer than 1500 words. Include the word count in your document.Document formatting should use a 12-point font, double-spaced, have 1-inch margins on all sides, and be saved in either doc/.docx or .pdf format only.Documents in shared drives will not be accepted.Your document should include your last name, first name, course name and section at the top of the document.The essay must be uploaded to Turnitin via Canvas before the due date/time. The essay will be considered late if it is not submitted before the deadline.I will grade your paper according to the following rubric:Ideas and Content (50%): The degree to which your paper demonstrates insightful theses supported byrelevant, accurate, and specific evidence from appropriate sources.Organization (30%): The degree to which your paper follows a clear and logical train of thought. Your paragraphs should demonstrate cohesion and aim to gradually introduce points of comparison between anurans and passerines.Form (20%): The degree to which you use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, citation and formatting.

I have attached a copy of my rough draft essay and the original prompt ( I chose the “Choose a “monster” from our culture and research the history of said monster. Make an argument about why this particular monster is still relevant in our society today. What does it represent? What is the role of a monster in our society today? What is behind the continued fascination despite us knowing that they are not “real”? prompt). She also provided us with a checklist of everything we need in the essay that I will attach as well. I will copy the notes my teacher gave me. They are as follows:”You are missing a strong thesis for this essay. Remember that the thesis is the topic plus your opinion or point. While your point is implied in your introductory paragraph, there needs to be a concise sentence that tells your audience what your essay is going to cover. Do not use a comma in your in text citations. (Shelley 38). You bring up a good point about why Frankenstein’s monster seeks revenge on the doctor and the community, but you leave that point unexplained. Why is this relevant? What does this tell us about the role of the monster in society? Who is the “real” monster: Frankenstein or his monster? Did you read the entire novel of Frankenstein? Honestly, there are some major gaps in your essay that do not ring true to what happens in the book. I would encourage you to read your essay out loud to yourself. I believe that many of the sentence structure errors could be caught by simply hearing them rather than reading them. I would encourage you to go back and revise your paper. You have included a lot of really good information, but your paper is missing an exact point. Instead, it seems to wander back and forth. I would encourage you to construct a strong thesis and make sure your essay matches it. Please make sure your works cited entries have a hanging indentation and have the publishers/journals in italics.”Please fix everything she asks for. This is a major grade for me and I need a really good grade for this one.

I’m looking for a thorough “nuts-and-bolts” analysis of the writing. Think of this as a critique of the work, an analysis of the form, and thinking about why what you read was included in the story. The assignment should include a description of the article and your evaluation of the author’s writing style, research, sources included, storytelling technique, content, story subject, impact, what you did and didn’t like, and any improvements you think the author could have madeI want you to really focus on the lede and the scenes that are described in the story you ultimately pick. Tell me about them. Give an explanation for why you answer the question the way you do. (What about it? What about using the quote from someone who knew the main character? Why does it matter when it’s used in that spot in the story?)? Briefly, what is the story about?? What type of lede is in this article? How does it preview what the rest of the story is about? Specifically, how?Give examples of what you mean.? What sources were included in this article? Why do you think it was important to hear from these particular peoplefor this story?? Tell me about the quotes that were used. What do the quotes used add to the story? Which quotes made themost impact on you? Why? Who said them? What do you learn about the person from them?? Did the writer try to recreate any scenes in the story? How did the writer try to put you in that scene? What sensesdid the writer try to trigger? Was there dialogue?? How does the author handle moving the story in the sense of time? When does the story start? When, wheredoes the story end? Feature stories don’t have to move chronologically. They don’t have to begin when an event occurs. The story itself can begin as a flashback, a recreation of a scene. Or it can begin in the present day, after a character has gone through what they’ve gone through, but the rest of the story re-tells how they got to the present.The link to the article that the work is based on is:https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/11/the-oracle-of-britney-spears
