InstructionYou must begin your essay with a solid thesis in the first paragraph. This thesis is worth 10 points. The thesis is either "right" for "10" points or wrong, for "0" points. The thesis answers all parts of the "prompt." It also directs the reader to what you are going to answer in your essay by making a "bold" statement! Think of it as a "road map" to the content of your essay. The body of the essay is worth the rest of the points. I am looking for "content, evidence, fact, analysis" and NOT quotes from the text or any other source. This is in your words based on your reading of the chapters (book on brytewave. I'll give my username and passwort that you are able to read the chapters). I am not looking for a specific format as in number of paragraphs. You may write one long paragraph or multiple paragraphs. Paragraphs do help organize your thought process. However, the minimum word requirement is no less than 400 words. Count them or you will lose a letter grade! Please note "Word Count" at the end of your essay. This is a formal writing assignment. Please submit your written or typed essay into Canvas for evaluation. PLEASE CHOOSE "1" OF THE FOLLOWING 2 PROMPTS FOR YOU TO ANSWER; 1. ARE YOU IMPRESSED WITH THE "GREATNESS" OF EMPIRES OR WITH THEIR DESTRUCTIVE AND OPPRESSIVE FEATURES? EXPLAIN. 2. "RELIGION IS A DOUBLED-EDGED SWORD, BOTH SUPPORTING AND UNDERMINING POLITICAL AUTHORITY AND SOCIAL ELITES." IN YOUR ESSAY, SUPPORT BOTH SIDES OF THIS STATEMENT.
