What was his life like on the plantation as a slave?

Assignment: Read the two letters from the period of Reconstruction – one from 1865 and one from 1870 – and address ALL of the following questions. The letters are posted on Canvas. Your assignment should be in essay format, with separate paragraphs, full and complete sentences, and free from grammar and spelling errors. It should be approximately 2-3 pages in length, double-spaced. Proofread and edit your paper before submitting. Your paper should be written at a college-appropriate level. What does freedom mean to Jourdan Anderson in 1865? In other words, what things can he (and his family) experience and do now that he is free that he could not do before? Use some specific examples from the letter. What was his life like on the plantation as a slave? What is the overall meaning of his letter? Do you think he was serious? Why do you think he wrote this letter? What do his tone and word choices tell us? According to Albion Tourgee, what is the Ku Klux Klan doing and why? Who are their targets? Be specific and use several clear examples from the letter. Who does Tourgee blame for the KKK’s actions? What is his suggested solution? What does Tourgee fear will happen next? Judging from this letter, do you think the KKK is a large or small organization at this time (in 1870)? Why do you think so? FINALLY, thinking of both of these primary sources, how do we see “freedom” changing in the five years between 1865 and 1870?

Analyze and Explicate the Play using Rhetorical and Literary Devices based on an outline.

Primary Text: Max Shulman’s “Love is a Fallacy” Rhetorical Devices and Literary Devices are Critical Tools to Analyze and Explicate the Play Explication occurs when a writer attempts to clarify or bring meaning to a work of fiction; analysis takes place when writers study the creative process of establishing that meaning. To put it another way: analysis divides something that looks like one thing and breaks it into little things. Explication expands each of the little things by assigning meaning, trying to unite lots of little things underneath one bigger thing.

Does your topic involve a collision between personal obligations and national ones?

This assignment is the first step in a three part project. You only need to focus on part one at this point. Each step will build on earlier steps. However, it is not a matter of providing a rough draft of all or even part of the entire project here in week three. That is, further steps might require completely new and original text. At the same time, completing each step will aid you in completing a future step or future steps. And, you should use the same topic in all steps. First, select a topic of moral controversy, debate, disagreement, and dispute, Examples of such topics are euthanasia, the death penalty, abortion, cloning, etc. You can pick any such topic. It need not be listed here. Next, detail the positions of each side of the ethical debate. Note at least two moral reasons each side presents to show their view on the topic is correct. Now, we want to evaluate these positions using the moral theories we studied this week: What would an Ethical Egoist say about this topic? What side would the Ethical Egoist take? What would the Ethical Egoist say to justify their moral position? Is there a conflict between loyalty to self and to community relevant to your topic? If so, how so? Note what you feel is the best course of action. What would a Social Contract Ethicist say about this topic? What side would the Social Contract Ethicist take? What would the Social Contract Ethicist say to justify their moral position? Does your topic involve a collision between personal obligations and national ones? If so, how so? Note what you feel is the best course of action. Finally, reference and discuss any professional code of ethics relevant to your topic such as the AMA code for doctors, the ANA code for nurses, or any other pertinent professional code.
