Respond to one of the following essay topics with a developed essay that includes all of the parts of an essay we have addressed this semester. Remember that essays have structure, including a thesis statement, body paragraphs with transitions and topic sentences, and a conclusion. Remember that thoughtful content, clarity, logic, and organization are also essential in an effective essay. You must refer to only one of the assigned articles.
You may use the articles, the textbook, a dictionary, a thesaurus, and a handbook as you wish.
1. According to the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, John McWhorter is a prolific and noted author, scholar, and professor of linguistics “who writes and comments extensively on race, ethnicity, and cultural issues.” Yet critic and columnist Taylor Harris suggests in McWhorter’s writing “we are left with that bitter metallic taste in our mouths. McWhorter is always right, and we have always been wrong.” Explain how McWhorter’s article does or does not reflect this statement. Pick one side to explain.
2. Brent Staples and John McWhorter both use effective components of argumentative writing in their work. Pick ONE article and explain why this particular article is an effective argumentative article.
3. Brent Staples has been described by critic Anne Janette Johnson as “the holder of one of journalism’s most prestigious jobs,” editorial writer for the New York Times, who “hopes to shatter some long-standing stereotypes about what it means to be an African American” and “has succeeded . . . because he can write well.” How does Staples’s article reflect this statement?
