Hello, I am beginning to prepare for essay 2.

According to the syllabus, on 4/2 we are to turn in "e2 half done
draft". The assignment is broken into two parts right? A short story
and an academic analysis. So when you say "half done" each section
should be completed, but in a rough draft form? Finally, the short
story and the "report" (for lack of a better word) do they need to be
related? For example, if I choose to do my report on the Holocaust,
should my short story be set in the Holocaust as well?

I hope i am being clear. Im not exactly sure what i am supposed to be
turning in on Friday.

Thank you.

MJ/all:

you've got the idea. half-done means more than anything well begun.
choose a conflict Goldhagen discusses and research it. decide if his
analysis is helpful in understanding the conflict and preventing
future similar conflicts. get started writing the essay. yes, the
story's theme should reflect the thesis of your essay, but there are
many ways to do so.

don't worry about half-done being exactly 50%--get a good start: you
will still have a couple weeks to revise after my reading of your
drafts.

for the interested, here's a link to last summer's half-done drafts
with my notes: http://www.snorko.org/e2s-w-edits-Smaller.pdf

and here's a link to last fall's final drafts:

MJ/all:

the e2 drafts (submitted by morning of 4/3, later submissions
forthcoming) with comments have been posted online at the address
included in the page notes to all on e2 half-done drafts, but the
address hadn't been activated into a link until you asked. MJ, your
essay's there.

Professor, I am still a little confused... I choose the topic of rape
and torture as a way to eliminate innocent people. Goldhagen talks
about it a lot in his book. Is that a good topic? I couldn't find
many bills related to rape as crime against humanity.

DK:

yes, rape of civilians can be a fine topic for this project. Goldhagen
as a whole section of chapter 9 on the topic with many examples--see
451--466. i didn't find a bill right away searching Thomas for rape
and war, but let me look a little more and get back. there will be
bills, but perhaps we ned to use different search terms to find them.

from Thomas, try search mutiple Congresses, then check all, then
search: rape war. Many bills appear

I have a question that I can't get it off my mind. I noticed many of
the essays from the first draft have more than one bill congress from
Thomas Library. I was wondering if it's alright to use only one bill
for the entire essay, or do you recommend to use more than one bill
for the essay?

SB/all:

only one bill is required as a source. using Thomas to find and
analyze Congressional bills is recommended as a technique for general
use, so the extra practice is a good idea but not required.

Professor, can you please tell me my grades for now and where am I
standing? I don't know my grades for essay 1.
Can you please also clarify on the story part that we need to write
with essay 2, is it part of the essay or separate? If my topic is
"rape as war crime," what kind of story does it needs to be? I am
working on my essay right now, and I sent you the half done draft, but
I don't know if it's good.


Thank you,
Diana

Thank you Rosemarie, but how i posted my question was just from my email, i get a notice each time someone posts, but i cannot find where the posts originate.  I cannot see the instructions.  I emailed the professor last week and have yet to hear back.

if you could send a link to the instructions and/or where to post that would be amazing.

thank you very much,
