Revise Article Analysis (Essay One)
Your first option is to substantially revise your Article Analysis Essay (Essay One). These revisions must go beyond merely fixing formatting, grammatical, and/or organizational issues we identified in your earlier versions. In addition to addressing those issues, you will also generate a strong thesis statement about your article, that includes a call to action, and uses new evidence from an additional article and from Capital to support your analysis.
For example, if your Article Analysis posited that
“the housing crisis in the Bay Area demonstrates the inherent contradictions between use-value and exchange value in the commodity form”
then your revised, argumentative thesis might argue something like
“the housing crisis in the Bay Area demonstrates the inherent contradictions between use-value and exchange value in the commodity form, and demonstrates that working people and tenants must “put their heads together… and compel the passing of a law” (Marx 416) that establishes rent control, just like tenant organizers did in the City of Pasadena (Zahra).”
In this example, you’re moving beyond a theoretical analysis of the issue you researched and using new evidence from new research (for this example I used this article) and new evidence from Capital to support your call to action (passing rent control).
Guidelines for Option One
Generate a 1500 word revision of your Article Analysis (Essay 1) or a 1750 word revision of your Film Analysis (Essay 2).
Your new draft must have an argumentative thesis.
Option One requires a call to action: What do we do to address the issues you uncover in your Article Analysis?
Option Two requires an argument for the efficacy/inefficacy of the film’s portrayal of Marx’s concepts. How well does the film depict these concepts? Why? What problems arise from the film’s depiction?
In addition to evidence from your earlier draft, your new thesis must be supported by at least two new pieces of evidence from the film/article and at least two new concepts from Capital (four new pieces of evidence, total).
This essay should follow MLA formatting guidelines, and include in-text citations and a Works Cited page.
