Defining a Leader

Its 2 assignment

Case 1: Illustration/Example Essay

Length: no less than 700 words, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font size

This essay consists of your own thoughts, words, and ideas. No secondary sources are to be used in this essay.

The first person “I” is not used in a formal essay.

For this assignment, you will choose one term from the list below and define the term using illustration and example, making sure that the definition is your own and that it is not simply a paraphrasing of a definition shared elsewhere.

A well-organized essay has a beginning, a middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be the definition of a term.

A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. An essay with three points may be divided into three body paragraphs, one for each point describing the term. Each body paragraph must begin with a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.

The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world.

Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills, will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 1 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English found in the course syllabus.

Concepts that color yellow symbolizes

/in

What are some of the concepts that color yellow symbolizes? Do some research: there are superstitions, cultural prejudices, medical connotations associated with this color. Chose just one concept (e.g. “Summer” or “Illness”). Find one reliable PRIMARY or SECONDARY source that testifies to the symbolism of the yellow color. Properly cite the source, both throughout your response and at the end, as on the Work Cited page. Write a reading response explaining how the concept of your choice figures in the story through the color yellow.

A PRIMARY source is an immediate, first-hand account of a topic, from people who had a direct connection with it. Example: this collection of myths could serve as a primary source:

Ferguson, Diana. Tales of the Plumed Serpent: Aztec, Inca and Mayan Myths. Collins & Brown, 2000.

A SECONDARY source: Covers same topics as the primary one, but adds a layer of interpretation, like in this article on Mayas and sex.
Braakhuis, H.E.M. “The Way of All Flesh. Sexual Implications of the Mayan Hunt.” Anthropos 96: 391–409., 2001, www.jstor.org/stable/40465548.
