Instructiono Synthesized Argument Develop a claim in answer to an idea that you find interesting. Then write an argument where you present evidence from the readings to support your claim. This is the most diverse option and one that leaves the bulk of the decision making up to you. What you're looking for is a relationship between readings. Whether it be through perspective, analysis, evidence, or interpretation. o Compare and Contrast Pick two-three readings from the semester and analyze their different perspectives. In this paper, you will compare and contrast those perspectives in order to offer a larger synthesized idea. Find the natural threads between these readings and attempt to explore the implications that arise when they are read together. Readings that you can use (pick 2 or 3): “Consider the Lobster” by David Wallace “Letter from Birmingham Jail” by MLK “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience” by Henry David Thoreau “A Hunger Artist” by Franz Kafka Consider organizing your paper such as: I. Thesis II. Introduce an argument, perspective, or thesis stemming from readings of your choice. III. Perspective of reading #1 - #3 IV. Compare and contrast your readings V. The conclusion that can be drawn from comparisons VI. “So what?” – insights for further comparisons
