Need a reading response done for theater Humanities Assignment Help

Write a scintillating, well-written essay of 7 pages in response. You must narrow the scope of your thesis and argument to fit the page limit. You may want to look up the meaning of words in the Oxford English Dictionary, if your interpretation of a passage depends upon the meaning or connotation of a certain word.

Your essay should feature the following:

• a focused interpretive argument about the meaning of Shakespeare’s plays. Keep plotsummary to a minimum; assume that your reader has read the plays once, but may beunaware of deeper implications.
• a clearly-stated thesis statement early in the essay which articulates your argument. Thisstatement should do more than just announce the topic of the paper, and it should avoid the”similarities and differences” formula. Underline your thesis statement.
• at least one passage in which you analyze a passage from the playscript closely at some length. This section of your paper should demonstrate your attention to nuances of language and imagery, subtleties of characterization, and key ideas and issues. Fully explain the meaning of all details or quotations you cite, and place details and quotations in their dramatic context. Choose your supporting quotations carefully, and explain the meaning of the passages you choose to cite. Where you choose to quote directly, please cite the act, scene and line number(s) parenthetically after the quotation. Example: When the Archbishop of Canterbury declares that his long discussion of Salic law is”as clear as the summer sun” (Henry V 1.2.86), his tone is one of sarcasm rather than sincerity. For the correct conventions about citing passages from Shakespeare, please consult the “Guidelines for Writing Papers and Quoting Correctly”, which I will expect you to follow closely. Please consult the class Blackboard site for the grading rubric for this essay.

I. At first glance, Sir Toby Belch from Twelfth Night and Sir John Falstaff from I Henry IV andHenry V are remarkably similar characters–both are fallen knights, both enjoy copious drink and hearty merriment, both are ringleaders of a small community of fellow revelers, both have vexed relationships with figures of authority. Compare and contrast these figures, focusing on ONE element or quality that you find particularly important, revealing, or significant. Develop a thesis about how and why Shakespeare revises this popular character type across the two plays. Pay some attention to the question “so what?” as you are developing your analysis: why is the element or quality you’ve analyzed important to our understanding of these characters and the plays in which they appear?

DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS: This question might be developed in several ways:

• treat Sir Toby Belch as a revision of Sir John Falstaff: what element(s) did Shakespeare choose to change when he returned to this character in Twelfth Night? Exactly how did he change him? Why?

• you might trace the development of each character in the course of his particular play–do you sense a change in our attitude toward these characters as the play progresses? What accounts for that change (or lack of it)?
• you might trace this character’s relationship with another character–say, Toby’s with Aguecheek and Falstaff’s with Prince Henry–paying close attention to what that relationship reveals about Toby’s and Falstaff’s character or function within the play.
• you might trace how these characters illuminate one of Shakespeare’s central ideas, themes or issues within both plays, though in perhaps subtly contrasting or vastly different ways. This list is certainly not complete: you may choose other ways of developing your comparison and contrast.

Note: you need to give me the opening paragraph with your thesis underlined and one body paragraph as early as possible. No late than Sunday

Key Assignment Draft

In those states with the three strikes laws, any person who has 2 felony strikes and commits another felony, whether it be violent or not, can be required to serve a sentence of 25 years to life.

Look at the case of Ewing v. California:

• Ewing v. California
  

  • Click on the PDF link next to the case title.

The defendant had his third strike when he committed grand theft at a golf course in Los Angeles County. This was not a violent crime but he was subject to the three strikes laws. He appealed this case up to the United States Supreme Court—and lost.

The public has always been worried about violent crime, but just how worried are citizens about nonviolent crime? With mandatory sentencing, society will have many older inmates within the prison system. In the criminal justice community, it is known that inmates “age out of crime.” Can you imagine a 68-year-old man climbing in a window or jumping an 8-foot fence? By keeping these older inmates incarcerated, is this a disservice to society?

State prosecutors have the discretion to lower the charge so that the third offense would not be considered a third strike. For this assignment, you are a policy maker in Louisiana state legislature. You are concerned about the heavy tax burden on your constituents. The cost of the actual running of the prison and costs of personnel will rise.

You are also up for re-election, and the feedback that you have received from your constituents has shown that they are dissatisfied with the law that now stands. They are afraid of violent crimes, not just felonies, and are very aware that the last crime committed by the perpetrator does not have to be a violent crime. They are also worried about the use of their tax dollars to incarcerate nonviolent offenders.

Assignment Guidelines

• Address the following in 5–7 pages:
  

  • Develop a policy regarding the three strikes laws in the State of California. Address the following in your policy:
    

    • What alternatives would be placed in the law to give the state prosecutor more freedom to manipulate the third strike?
    • Many prosecutors “load up” charges against defendants to force a plea bargain. What can be done to limit or prevent this practice?
    • Will your policy allow multiple counts arising from the same incident to count as multiple strikes? (For instance, a man arrested for aggravated robbery because of the use of a weapon is charged with aggravated robbery and a felony gun possession charge. Should that count as 1 strike or 2?)
    • If one of the alternatives was supervised probation, how would you convince the public that it would be more cost-effective for the person to be supervised than incarcerated?
    • Show the public where you would be saving money by not incarcerating the perpetrator.
    • If brought up in the legislature to be an amendment to the law, could this be grandfathered in to help older inmates?
    • Could this have a backlash from the public, or would they approve? How? Why?

  • Once you are finished with the policy, draft an executive summary of the policy to be used for political decision making.

• Use 6–10 scholarly resources to support the provisions of your policy. Dictionaries and encyclopedias are not scholarly sources. Look at federal and state legislation and court cases.
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Though we did not discuss them in class, RLC circuits have many practical applications in devices that we regularly use. Please read one or more of the following articles and discuss one or more of the following questions.

Your post should be a minimum of 200 words. These posts should be thoughtful (using excessive ‘fluff’ words, writing off-topic, etc. will lead to an incomplete score). It is not necessary to derive any equations or do any calculations. I am only looking for a practical, theoretical understanding. These posts will be graded as either complete or incomplete. A ‘complete’ grade will result in one additional point being added to your final grade in the course.

Use the Excel I provide, the data in the excel is the data set I want to use. And the Word I provide is where you should work on.

Summary:

In the Independent Research Project (IRP), students conduct an analysis project using SAS primarily and Excel as needed to analyze real-world data.

• In the first assignment (IRP Research Question and Data Set), you identified the data set you wanted to use, developed a research question, and identified a statistical question that could be answered analytically.
• In this assignment, you will create and submit a business memo (template attached) that clearly communicates your analysis of the data set you identified in the previous assignment. When you submit this draft of your IRP, you will get feedback from your classmates and your instructor. You should use this feedback to improve your IRP.
• In later assignments (IRP Memorandum, IRP Presentation, Presentation Questions Reply), you will submit the final version of your IRP, create and submit a PowerPoint presentation that summarizes your IRP, present your analysis via a recorded video presentation, and answer questions about your presentation.

Peer Review of Draft IRP

Submit your draft IRP to this assignment. It will be reviewed anonymously by three of your classmates. You will also be asked to review the IRPs of three other students. Please be kind and constructive in your comments. Take the feedback you get from this peer review to improve your IRP that will be turned in the next IRP assignment.
