\nJane Doe Essay One
\nJane Doe Detailed Outline
\nMuch of our personal, academic, and professional writing is critical and analytical. As
\nWalter Pater believes, when we see an object as it really is, know our impressions,
\ndiscriminate, and realize distinguishing features, we engage in the act of critical analysis.
\n\u201cTo analyze\u201d means to break down into parts. \u201cTo criticize\u201d means to evaluate, review,
\nor determine the worth or value of something. The analysis, therefore, breaks down a
\nsubject (essay) into parts (or features) and explains HOW the evidence demonstrates the
\nveracity of the argument(s) (point of analysis).
\nAssignment:
\nJonathan Swift\u2019s essay \u201cA Modest Proposal\u201d highlights the economic discrepancy and
\npolitical unrest in Ireland in the 1720s. In the essay, the speaker proposes a solution to
\nthe economic discrepancy prevalent in Ireland. This piece of literature is unique as it
\npresents an amalgamation of an essay and a fictional piece of writing.
\nFor the purpose of this assignment, students will critically analyze the subject of the
\nessay by evaluating the ethos of the speaker, and the structure (organization) and the
\nimplications of the language in Jonathan Swift\u2019s \u201cA Modest Proposal.\u201d
\nAs students evaluate the structure of the essay, they will consider how the speaker
\npresents his ideas to the reader. Additionally, students will evaluate the implications of
\nthe language proposed in the essay and determine Swift\u2019s implicit argument and address
\nthe moral conclusion that the audience may derive.
\nYour essay will present a tiered evaluation. Your task, then, will be to
\nA) provide a detailed analysis of the work in relation to the speaker\u2019s ethos and
\ndemonstration of logos (organization).
\nB) evaluate the implications of language as signifying a dehumanized and distorted
\nportrayal of the poor
\nC) argue the manner in which Jonathan Swift\u2019s essay depicts the moral conclusion
\nthe audience may derive.
\nThe first essay consists of seven (7) paragraphs: an introduction, five (5) body
\nparagraphs, and a conclusion.
\nIntroduction:
\nThe introduction (at least for the first essay) should consist of 5-7sentences. Remember,
\nthe introduction clarifies the focus of your discussion; hence, the introduction needs to
\nLoubser 3
\nprovide your audience with all the essential information regarding the context of your
\nargument.
\nThe first sentence of the introduction should indicate the name of the author and the piece
\nof literature you are evaluating. The subsequent sentences introduce the context of the
\npiece of literature (essay), though only as it pertains to the focus of your discussion. Since
\nthe purpose of the essay is to evaluate the structure and the implications of language, you,
\nas the writer, will introduce this information in the introductory paragraph.
\nStudents will refrain from providing any biographical information concerning Jonathan
\nSwift or summarizing the essay \u201cA Modest Proposal.\u201d
\nThe last sentence of the introduction consists of the thesis statement (central claim). The
\nthesis statement is the controlling idea of the essay; hence, the thesis statement is an
\nexplicit sentence that effectively conveys the argument you have posed and substantiated
\nin the body paragraphs. The thesis statement (central claim) will consist of merely one
\n(1) sentence.
\nRemember, the introduction clarifies the focus of your discussion to your audience.
\nEach body paragraph should begin with a precise topic sentence that clearly indicates the
\nargument you have posed and substantiated in the body paragraph. The topic sentence
\nwill consist of merely one (1) sentence. Make sure every idea or sentence in a paragraph
\nrelates to its topic sentence; the purpose of the body paragraph is to prove the veracity of
\nthe argument you posed in the topic sentence.
\nThe Conclusion:
\nThe seventh paragraph consists of the conclusion. The conclusion should consist of 5-7
\nsentences. In addition, the first sentence of the conclusion will restate the thesis
\nstatement. The conclusion provides you one more opportunity to convince your audience
\nas to the veracity of the central claim. The conclusion should not list the body
\nparagraphs; rather its purpose is to demonstrate that in consideration of the evidence, the
\nargument posed in the thesis is justified.
\nRemember, the conclusion reiterates that in consideration of the evidence, the argument
\nposed in the thesis is justified.
