WRITE MY ESSAY

Requirements:
Minimum of four double-spaced pages
At least one primary source (one of the assigned readings from the Renaissance section of your textbook)
At least two secondary sources from Galileo or similar scholarly database (Google Scholar, JSTOR, EBSCOHost, etc.). One of these sources should be contextual information about the Renaissance period in the culture where your text originated, the other can be an interpretive work
Some specific academic documentation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, Tiberian, ASA, etc.). I recommend you practice the style typical to your major or the style you are most comfortable with.
Choose one of the assigned texts from the Renaissance section of your textbook (Don Quixote, The Prince, Utopia, Popol Vuh). Develop a cultural analysis thesis related to the origin of the text and cultural values or stresses at the time of its creation. For example: The satire in Thomas Moore’s Utopia responds directly to the social unrest and inequality of the European Renaissance.
Use secondary sources and examples from your chosen text (through CITED quotes or paraphrases) to support your interpretation and analysis of the story. Remember that the expectation for academic writing is that your essay will engage with an outside source at least once per paragraph.
In order to write an analytical essay, your topic sentences should reflect an arguable, interpretative statement about the text. For example: By eliminating personal in property in the novel, Moore critiques early European capitalism.
Your essay should reflect a fully realized three-part essay (introduction with an appropriate analytical thesis, main body of multiple paragraphs interpreting specific parts of your chosen text, and conclusion that restates the thesis and resolves the essay). There should be a citation/references page listing the required sources and types in the academic documentation style you have chosen.
