PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY FORM OF AI OR CHATGPT, THE PROFESSOR HAS BEEN ACCUSING ME OF USING IT BECAUSE HE IS RACIST, SO PLEASE USE SIMPLE WORDINGS
I HAVE ATTACHED THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE WORD DOCUMENT WHICH CONSISTS OF THE RUBRIC YOU NEED TO USE TO GRADE THE TWO STUDENTS WORK. I ATTACHED THE LINKs TO THEIR WORK AS WELL!

Firstly, context this is the class. https://class-descriiptions.northwestern.edu/4960/WCAS/ENGLISH/12717
This must be very good. This is my first assignment for this English class, at a very very prestigious university. The quality of analysis must be good. AND you MUST follow instructions below.
Close Reading Paper x 2 (500-750 words): You will choose one single passage from a literary text (not a film) and create an argument around it. In other words, you will choose a passage to interpret the text and offer your own understanding of the passage. This will have to differ significantly from a lay-reader’s understanding of the passage—you have to get into an in-depth analysis to unpack something that isn’t immediately evident or obvious to a peer. Your imagined audience for this paper is your class, so use that as a way to guide your interpretation. Think about whether your argument has a counter-argument—if it does, then you’re working with an interpretation. If it doesn’t, then you probably have an explanation on your hands that is closer to a summary.
First, select a passage from Jack London’s The Unparalleled Invasion.
Then, work through the passage by breaking it down to its constituent elements (offstage). What interesting words or phrases jump out at you?
Go to the OED and look up the meanings of any unusual words. The bar for unusual can be quite low–you’d be surprised how an ordinary word such as “revolution” or “planet” or “animal” can have multiple secondary and tertiary meanings that could impact the meaning of the sentence in unexpected ways.
Then, begin compiling all the relevant information, bringing it back together to bear on the passage. What you’re doing is figuring out what’s important to a “reading” of the passage. What elements of a passage can be most useful towards reinterpreting the passage towards a different “hidden meaning” or “what lies beneath the surface meaning” of the text?
Bring all the relevant elements back together again and tell your reader what new ways of interpreting the passage you’vr discovered by doing this exercise.
Note: Assume that your reader is a peer group member and is someone who has read the text. Therefore, you can dispense without having to recount the plot of the story or the novel. Your close reading must offer a sense of why a particular passage is important towards understanding a text from multiple angles and at multiple levels.

Word Count: 500-750 words
Deadline: Oct 13, 2024, Sunday, 11:59 pm
The text Jack London’s The Unparalleled Invasion is attached in the file below.

First of all, this is the outline of a speech. So please do not write it in the form of prose, and there should be no large paragraphs as a whole. The theme of this speech is overcoming setbacks. First, it sets out the difficulties an international student must overcome when coming to the United States. Secondly, you can describe the point of overcoming challenges, such as not losing the big picture due to small things in homework or work. Summarize similar experiences and what happened in the process. Please check the requirements in the picture and rubric because this speech is very important, and these will be of great help

write a book review about any book you like and construct a fact sheet for it, there is a fact sheet template attached from the pdf i provided. All the information regarding the assignment is attached. Make sure to use the PDF I provided below before starting this essay and fact sheet, as it is the means to structure the essay. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Post your thoughts regarding peer review and editing. Share your thoughts on why these steps are important for producing high-quality writing.

Length: the essay should be 2 pages long including a Works Cited page
Outside Sources: The essay should use (quote and cite) at least one outside source that responds to the theme being analyzed. The sources can be literary, criticism, articles, or other academic sources. These sources should be used to support the essay’s thesis and be properly cited using MLA citation style
Quoted Examples: The essay should include at least 3 quoted (and cited) examples from the story to support the thesis. These examples should be properly cited using the MLA citation template
MLA citation: the essay should be formatted according to MLA citation style, including in-text citations and a Works Cited page
The essay should be structured as follows:
1. Introduction: The introduction should introduce the topic and story(ies) that will be analyzed. The introduction should end with a clear thesis statement that outlines the essay’s argument.
2. Body Paragraphs: Each paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that reflects the main point of that paragraph as it relates to the paper’s thesis/argument. The paragraph should then provide evidence from the story and the outside source(s) to support the topic sentence. The paragraph should end with a sentence that signals the next point.
3. Conclusion: The conclusion should summarize the main points of the essay and restate the thesis. The conclusion should also provide some final thoughts on the argument you have made.

YOUR TASK: In an intelligent and thoughtful 1+3 document, you must read and analyze ONE poem or ONE short story from the packet provided in this assignment (visible once you begin the “quiz”). You will need to find a key theme that you believe the author is trying to convey to his/her/their readers, and then give three subpoints in support of that theme. Your main claim will be expressed in your thesis statement, and your three subpoints will be developed into medium-length body paragraphs. The four provided works (two short stories and two poems) have been selected specifically so that you can analyze them and find something to say about them in a short amount of time (TWO HOURS, max).
NOTE: A 1+3 document is NOT an essay. It does not have an introduction or a conclusion (though if you want to include them, you can). Instead, it is a thesis sentence stating your claim (what theme you believe the author is trying to teach to his/her/their readers), followed by three paragraphs, each stating one subtopic of that theme.
What you should do before writing your document:
• Select the POEM or SHORT STORY you will be analyzing in your writing.
• Decide on the analytical argument you will make, which will be expressed in your thesis statement.
• Plan out your three or four body paragraphs, deciding on your three or four main points and then creating a skeletal outline if you wish.
• Select quotations/evidence from the work to support your discussion and include them on your outline for easy reference. You MUST quote in your document in multiple paragraphs to support your argument/analysis.

I am to write a definition essay about the word judgment and need an annotated bibliography of 5-8 sources.
