Essay 2 is due this week.Write a 750-950 word essay on one of the following topics. Aim for a 5-paragraph essay structure ( introduction with thesis, three or more body paragraphs, and a conclusion). The word count does not include the Works Cited page or formatting.
Your essay should be formatted inMLA style, including double spacing throughout. All sources should be properly cited both in the text and on a works cited page.

Which authorthis week seems most representative of the Modern viewpoint as you understand it? Explain. Some research on Modernism might be required here! Be sureto identify at least 3 ‘reasons’ or points to explore in the body of your paper. You mightexamine 3 qualities of Modernism and discuss how those qualities appear in the poetry of ee cummings, for example.
Should you choose to use outside references, these must be scholarly, peer-reviewed sources obtained via the APUS library (select Advanced Search and check the Peer Reviewed box).Be careful that you don’t create a “cut and paste” paper of information from your various sources. Your ideas are to be new and freshly constructed. Also, take great care not to plagiarize.
Whatever topic you choose you will need a debatable thesis. Athesisis not a fact, a quote, or a question. It is your position on the topic. The reader already knows the story; you are to offer him a new perspective based on your observations.
Since the reader is familiar with the story, summary is unnecessary. Rather than tell him what happened, tell him what specific portions of the story support your thesis.
