Make sure it states: 1. A thesis that gives a clear response to the CIT question that is appropriate for your text, and 2. A brief overview of the textual evidence that will support your discussion. In other words, tell me clearly in the first paragraph where you are going for your discussion.<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.5em; line-height: inherit; cursor: auto; font-size: unset;\">It is required that you cite (see directions below)&nbsp;<strong style=\"line-height: inherit; cursor: auto; font-size: unset;\">at least six citations from the text&nbsp;<\/strong>to support your discussion. Remember that even paraphrases should be cited! This is an exercise in critical reading and writing, so make sure your explanations of your citations are accurate to the context.<\/li>\n<li style=\"padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.5em; line-height: inherit; cursor: auto; font-size: unset;\"><strong style=\"line-height: inherit; cursor: auto; font-size: unset;\">Suggestion:&nbsp;<\/strong>Be sure to talk about the text as a whole&#8211;the beginning, key parts of the middle, and the ending. An easy way to do this is to divide your six citations in a 2-2-2 division: 2 citations from the story&#8217;s beginning, 2 from the middle, 2 from the end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Use this link for the essay topic(FRANKL):&nbsp;https:\/\/learn-us-east-1-prod-fleet01-xythos.content.blackboardcdn.com\/blackboard.learn.xythos.prod\/5888bb726f74e\/692451?X-Blackboard-S3-Bucket=blackboard.learn.xythos.prod&amp;X-Blackboard-Expiration=1682640000000&amp;X-Blackboard-Signature=mbCMg6PhMa0T34Lq2PQkdxEf8WPzHpeZrP1XySzjQNE%3D&amp;X-Blackboard-Client-Id=100292&amp;X-Blackboard-S3-Region=us-east-1&amp;response-cache-control=private%2C%20max-age%3D21600&amp;response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3D%22Frankl-Man%27s_Search_for_Meaning_%28Excerpt%29.pdf%22%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27Frankl-Man%2527s_Search_for_Meaning_%2528Excerpt%2529.pdf&amp;response-content-type=application%2Fpdf&amp;X-Amz-Security-Token=IQoJb3JpZ2luX2VjEEMaCXVzLWVhc3QtMSJGMEQCIFBjsNhfZwGGuAEzW%2Fasqs61xfetcVkQqFipR%2Bx8nxSaAiB47J1iZ7N2ilDq3UL10PQJpnPUo61lsmToVa8v%2F5OGRSqyBQhMEAAaDDU1NjkwMzg2MTM2MSIMZIlzDLcCsc%2FffLx0Ko8FwoOlaOp62eK1yh1wHpinPs1THtQ4VIZ5AE62%2Fq3cEu0z4dm5dtrF8BzxMWlOTQxhj7J4QPoqPljtnpgZfsnybVJTtXw4YmwRuzjXxNHqkChHTa7VSXgUKR4qKMeBeABRFNftke9Co0pmR3TdlAqGbsprj4w8ESZTv3ZHDU%2Fj56yeBeXRgDiKE2Bqp4j2kT06jv6sq9Bh4GV2xO4fjSDXq2owqNhWj9XOy1wfg0P0R2UFhzhWlaiy0bKCM4NdgaoKH9jCbSE6v2s7yhk8hXzo6kPeCcVmGDwmSflKRlcbT5Sichug7BQUD6aP4C6DLZhuP94D%2FE9YQVRkpbCfOQByt1HCWLW2z9Ac1XICP%2BIILRuL6B0wc9T%2B2TNNQN%2BZ4gKyHIjz3htWioazBfy6qm3hDJ%2FCkrtnUnIU0ciNRPV8BsuH21ips3XPwqNr%2F8qrz%2B5m2jm52T1VK0jbmzuXEYow1Ueax5UUeeMTm9c4FpatA7iTuBxcaG8cvFNdbrfA%2FZSwPCe%2F4oSX8kY%2BqGTUH7hoP%2FX5hHESahawZOq0R0IK3FNzHTpwjO4dwHVRP54hPpGtt9YcY%2FYGU3q%2BrHhzem2s1PKquNqmE64MjxRAYi%2Faju3lwuleDVHIoTt%2Bz%2FpxaR15wXOi4r2feNMf0RbAfLqh2NHcBQ%2BCGwim2oUe0J%2FFwHyWc8QWXAhP%2BLV2Jk85KJ0lDY9PX6JtIa%2BcmP4zS7U60rA6fbBE7bKzGhL9%2BPm3jrbg%2FIub4pUwnhcWaKl2YsOTdyyMKKOfzNMBm57A5ufkcpRNVjWeqvuNlVmXnZ7nk4yMYykQGnttpiSou8ClVBj%2FlpUi3UIARljpCv0V4fFLZ0tn0Amkij88xxxGohIc3DD3iKuiBjqyAQe5VBLXojVHz8hl0utrlvWEyspDtIQIQ%2BJ2HiUNr54h9YUAziUlYpUxpmquRb41uDh89cTJMdnietd1ZhqkS%2FgWKxpEzt%2FRUwaV4pLarT8jnfZ959lAzxThVgPgUcfmS4J24xNg8wMrY8keaUkTX5gnSsMuqsnCy1Q%2F9DWPspW0P7i3mWLGH%2BkYokrbnKPa57xLUuGIxWE%2BG2TKiIUYJTlRV%2B81JDAYRD0JjNP9faa%2BG1A%3D&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Date=20230427T180000Z&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Expires=21600&amp;X-Amz-Credential=ASIAYDKQORRYTRAL3YZH%2F20230427%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Signature=b52660d6bc4c21d54f5354f3eae827d94f96051203273e2bba4dda06a90e444b<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write a 900-1200 word essay (approximately three-pages, double-spaced, in 12 point font) in which you argue how one story from the list below demonstrates&nbsp;ONE&nbsp;of the following CIT Claims (not both): What does it mean to be human?
