Choose one (1) single "paper" from the book "everything's an argument Andrea Lunsford, John Ruszkiewicz, and Keith Waltersand" and explain why its theme/topic is the most intriguing in a modern sense. Your chosen "paper" should be substantive enough for you to fulfill the requirements of the assignment listed below. Make sure to use plenty of specific support from the book itself to augment your ideas; if you need to use another source, use Google Scholar

Links to an external site. or the Foothill library to find a single (1) academic journal article to augment your analysis. Also, for critical thinking, can you correlate your chosen paper to a modern day challenge in the world? Give it a whirl; it should augment your thesis statement rather well, even if not directly related to late eighteenth-century thought processes.

Steps:

1. Choose your person and your analytical/argumentative position(s) carefully. Don't settle on the first idea that comes to mind. You want a focus full enough to explore, not one you will quickly gloss over.
2. Do NOT write in first person unless absolutely necessary: you may write using the first-person collective "we", but keep your tone academic and formal nonetheless; do not turn the essay into a running parade of "I" statements or narrative summary/storytelling. This is not about YOU; it's about society.
