Humanities Project – Thesis and Outline Homework Help

Due August 19th, 2017 @ 4pm

For this piece of the Humanities Project, you will submit your topic choice along with your thesis and outline as a single 1-2 page Word document. This outline will be a guide of how your paper will flow. APA

I am fairly flexible on the two individuals chosen.  Ideally, it should be two different historical periods, but I have allowed the same from time to time if a valid parallel or contrast can be made.

 For example, in previous sections, I have had people do MLK and Gandhi, Edgar Allen Poe and Mary Shelley, and William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway, just to name a few.  You can also consider two influential figures from your major area like Medical Assistant

Your entire introduction and thesis statement should be at least one full paragraph (5-8 lines), with your thesis statement being the last sentence in the paragraph.

You continue now with the Body of the Outline:

First Section – with details from the background of the subjects – to support the thesis. Discusses how the beginning (birth place, education, etc.) of their lives were similar or different in any way.

Second Section – with details from the background of the subjects – to support the thesis. Discusses some of the influences of other writers that can be seen in the works of the subjects.

Third Section – with details from the background of the subjects – to support the thesis. Discusses in detail some of the works of the writers that speak to who the writers are as individuals.

Conclusion – Wraps everything up by referring back to thesis and supporting examples. Be sure to mention both subjects again to reiterate the thesis. Clinch with a closing statement and leave the reader with something to think about.
