develop a concise theme connected to human nature or culture or society.

Final Writing Assignment:
Documented Analytical Research Paper on a Play
Assignment Description:
For your final assignment, provide a documented analysis of Othello’s play.
When you develop your theme (meaning) remember to connect it to one of three things:
Human Nature
Society
Culture
Do not give me a “one word” theme such as, “The theme of Othello is jealousy.” Immediately, I will ask, “so what about jealousy?” What about jealousy relates to human nature or society or culture? Do not develop a “summary theme” such as: “Othello is about a couple who go through jealousy problems.”
Once you have developed a theme, decide what three elements of drama the playwright uses to advance that theme.
Plot & Structure
Character
Setting
Point of View
Language / Dialog
Irony
Symbolism
Imagery
Stage Direction
Your paper will be written in the research paper format (refer to the “Research Paper Template” file the I have posted). Every specific support (which will now become individual paragraphs) MUST include your point, a direct quote from the play, a direct quote from a critic, and you explanation (analysis). Basically, this expands the PIE specific support to P-I-I-E!
The first paragraph should include ALL of the following:
A motivator sentence.
The title of the play.
The full name of the playwright.
A clearly defined theme.
A clearly identified blueprint (with three elements of drama that advances the theme).
Refer to the sample student papers I have posted on Moodle.
You are required to include a works cited page as part of your research paper. Remember, your
works cited page is the last page of your research paper, but you may not use it as part of the
page count for the assignment. For instance, the research paper assignment calls for a paper 7-9 pages in length. That is seven pages of your text, minimum, PLUS a works cited page. You do need to cite the pages(s) for Shakespeare’s Othello, the act, scene, line numbers
Here are a few pointers on MLA and drama citations:
Remember to always introduce your quotes. Example: Shakespeare writes, “play quote here” (citation).
One to four lines of your typed text needs to be formatted as an in-sentence quote. If you are citing Othello, be sure to include forward slashed “/” between the lines in the play.
For five or more lines, use a block quote and revert to normal punctuation.
This is a research paper and is difficult to write. Give yourself plenty of time to read the various
critiques by the critics and extract pertinent quotes for your specific supports. I always suggest
looking at what the critics are writing first and develop your paper from the specific supports out. You now must back your points in your specific supports not only with quotes from the play, but also expert testimony (the critics).
I will provide feedback on any aspect of your paper (MLA, format, content, etc.) as soon as you provide a rough draft to me (don’t forget to submit a near complete draft of your research paper or a complete draft, works cited page and all)! You will have ample time for revisions, but please remember to indicate what draft number I am reading. As always, email me with any questions!
Assignment Goals:
• To write a college level documented literature analysis research paper in MLA format.
• To develop a concise theme connected to human nature or culture or society.
• To identify major elements of drama used to support your theme.
• To articulate analysis and specific supports, with direct quotes from the play and scholarly sources that back the major points and theme of the paper.
Grading Criteria:
• Is the research paper clearly written and well organized?
• Is there a clearly developed theme?
• Are specific supports presented in the ‘PIIE’ format with direct quotes from the play and
sources used as illustrations?
• Proper MLA format and citation of the play and other sources used.
• Evidence of proofreading/ editing.
Additional Requirements:
• Minimum of seven full pages, no more than nine pages in length plus a works cited page.
• Five sources minimum. One source is the play. You need to use scholarly sources from
the college database. Do not use sources such as Spark Notes, Homework Help, the
dictionary, etc.
• Please provide me with a clean copy of the final draft of your research paper for grading

What external barriers must (did) you overcome to forgive them?

Activity 19: Forgive Someone
Instructions:
Forgiving someone who has harmed you can be a difficult process, especially if you have been holding on to your hurt for a long time. Forgiveness is a gift that victims choose to give. Multiple studies have shown there are powerful benefits to forgiveness, such as better health outcomes, more satisfying relationships, and reduced anxiety. Forgiveness is hard to do, but powerfully beneficial.
After reading chapter 10, please post to this discussion board at least two times, with one original post (required), and one replying to a classmate’s post. Note that this is just an activity, not an application assignment, so you do NOT need to label your posts or provide in-depth analysis.
Post Content:
Original Post Option 1: Is there someone in your life that you would like to forgive?
Original Post Option 2: Is there someone in your life that you have forgiven?
Consider the following but do not answer every question. Choose ONE (1) of these questions. Note that you need not discuss what you forgave (or need to forgive) for. These questions about the PROCESS of forgiveness, not the things that need to be forgiven.

What do you think you would (did) personally gain from forgiving them?
How would (did) it affect your relationship with them if (when) you forgave them?
What work do (did) you need to do in order to forgive them?
What external barriers must (did) you overcome to forgive them?
How difficult will it be (was it) to forgive them? Why?
Reply Post: Respond to your classmates.
Respond supportively to your classmates posts about forgiveness. You may choose to praise them for their efforts, encourage them forward toward a path of forgiveness, and/or ask them questions or provide a perspective they may not have considered.
Please follow usual discussion etiquette.

identify one of those conflicts and provide a brief (2 sentence MAX) description of it.

Application Analysis 7: Recommendations
Instructions
We have been analyzing several conflicts over the course of this semester. This last application analysis requires that you choose one of those conflicts and provide recommendations for the parties involved. You only need to make one post, but it should be thorough (about 2 paragraphs).
FIRST, identify one of those conflicts and provide a brief (2 sentence MAX) description of it. Alternatively, you may choose to reply to a classmate who has already described the conflict.
SECOND, provide TWO recommendations for the parties in that conflict. You may choose to give two recommendations to a single party, or one recommendation each to two parties. In either case, clarify who the recommendations are for. If you are replying to a classmate, be sure you are providing different recommendations.
Each recommendation should be connected to a course concept. You may be recommending one of the skills discussed in module 6, or you may be making a recommendation based on previous concepts (e.g. emotions, goals, etc.). Whatever the case, be sure to use course terminology and bold those terms as you use them. Every recommendation must include at least one bold term.
FINALLY, be sure to support your recommendations with reason(s) why you believe this recommendation will work, and the outcome(s) it will have.
Because each of these posts should be relatively detailed, this application analysis only requires a single post. However, do not repeat your classmates’ recommendations.
Grading
To earn full points, double check that:
You identified a conflict, or replied to someone who did already.
You made two (2) recommendations and labeled each with the party it’s for.
Each recommendation centers on a course concept which you have bolded.
Each recommendation includes reasons and predicted outcomes.
You did not repeat anyone else’s recommendations.

If all competitors are choosing sustainability as part of their processes, can sustainability really be a strategy?

Instructions:

Use the lettering system indicated below to post your answers. Your answers should be listed in sections labeled “A” through “C.”

Case Scenario: PERRY’S PRINTING – “THE QUESTION OF SUSTAINABILITY”

Jeff Perry, the CEO of Perry’s Printing, calls you into his office.  As you’re walking toward Jeff’s office, you think about the company that you’ve worked for for over seven years.

Perry’s Printing is a family-owned printing company that has been in business for over 70 years. The founder of the company, Lawrence Perry, started the company as a small printing and engraving shop. Now Lawrence’s grandson, Jeff Perry, runs the company, and they have grown to $20 million in annual revenues. Today, Perry’s Printing specializes in signage for retail stores.

“Take a seat,” Jeff tells you as you enter his office.

Then Jeff says, “We have a problem. Our competitor just came out with a statement on their website about being a “Lean and Green” manufacturer. So he pulls up the website, and you read it.

Lean and Green Manufacturing at Donovan’s Printing

Donovan’s is a Lean Manufacturer. The core idea of Lean Manufacturing is to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. Simply, lean means creating more value for customers with fewer resources.

A lean organization understands customer value and focuses its key processes on increasing it continuously. The ultimate goal is to provide value to the customer through a value creation process with zero waste.

Donovan’s is FSC certified and promotes responsible management of the world’s forest.
Donovan’s employs both waterless offset printing and UV offset printing. These printing methods are a major advantage in eliminating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the printing process.
Donovan’s maintains state-of-the-art press dryers and cooling systems that reduce energy consumption and minimal heat generation. In addition, the use of automatic ink dispensers and blanket washers aid in the reduction of ink waste and solvent usage.
Donavan’s recycles over 1600 tons of paper and plastic in 2019.
“I’m freaking out,” Jeff confides in you, “we don’t have anything about green manufacturing in our strategic plan.”

“But Jeff,” you reply as you continue to scroll through the website page, “Perry’s has almost all of these features! We use waterless offset printing and UV offset printing. We have new press dryers and cooling systems that save energy. We don’t have automatic ink dispensers, but we can easily get them – I think they’re even included in next year’s budget. So what’s the problem here?”

“It’s just that now that Donovan’s has made it public, I feel we have to respond. I’m not sure I even believe in all this stuff, but our operation’s manager insists on these processes. I think it all cuts into our bottom line.”

Answer the following A-C questions about this scenario:

A.  How could Jeff’s attitude toward social responsibility impact Perry’s strategy? Justify your rationale with support from course materials.

B. Should Perry’s Printing respond to this new strategic plan published by their competitor? Why or why not? Justify your opinion with support from course materials.

C.  Porter identified one of the most commonly accepted definitions of strategy as “choosing a unique and valuable position,  rooted in systems of activities that are difficult to match.” In other words, differentiation is the key to strategy. If all competitors are choosing sustainability as part of their processes, can sustainability really be a strategy? Support your opinion with course materials.

What would you tell Opal about her desire to lose weight before starting high school

At 13, Opal is alarmed by how her body is changing. She’s always been bigger than most of her friends, but she seems to have gained a lot of weight around her abdomen in the past year. At her last medical examination, her doctor commented that she should try to lose weight. Her parents both work, so most days she is home alone for a couple of hours after school. Her neighborhood isn’t very safe, so she usually stays indoors and does homework or chats with friends online. She usually snacks on granola bars, pretzels, and soda while she waits for her parents to come home and cook dinner. Opal is thinking she’d like to lose a significant amount of weight before she starts high school in 6 months.

  1. What would you tell Opal about her desire to lose weight before starting high school
  2. What types of changes would you recommend to Opal?
