    HISTORICAL/CULTURAL ANALYSIS (Researched Argument)
    Works of art refract their cultures rather than simply reflecting them and even the most realistic painting or story is a stylized and selective representation.David Damrosch.
    The historian will tell you what happened. The novelist will tell you what it felt like.E.L. Doctorow
    Building on your work for Unit 3 Complete you are to show how the historical/cultural information you have researched shapes your understanding of the selected text (poem or short-story). You do not need (and should not try) to read an entire historical period into the text; rather select a significant practice event or other element significant to the text with which to support your thesis. You may discover that after further research the tentative thesis you have proposed as part of your previous assignment needs to be refocused and/or refined.Important note: You must analyze the relationship between the historical/cultural information and the text not just summarize each of them.
    To inform your literary argument think beyond our course and use the expertise that you have been acquiring in the Criminal Justice and/or Emergency Management fields. Your literary thesis can certainly address a socio-political socio-economic or socio-cultural question concerning one or more of our course texts and bring in the theoretical expertise youve acquired in your profession or discipline.
    The researched essay must be3+ pages (900+ words)in length and must include at the very least your primary sourceand a minimum of two (2) secondary sources including the scholarly sourceyou have annotated in the previous Complete assignment. Feel free to include more sources. Your argument must include a minimum of 7-10 short but significant carefully selected details (key words phrases or short lines) from both the primary and scholarly sources. Remember not to let long quotes dominate argument. Always explain your evidence with regard to the point youre making and/or your thesis as a whole.
    Your researched focus needs to be grounded in the work youre doing for this course. You may not reuse or rework a paper from previous course. You need to start fresh. Have fun with this endeavor! See where your scholarly pursuits lead you.
