Your paper must be three pages in length and reference four to six scholarly, peer-reviewed resources (sources must be not be older than 5 years old). Be sure to follow current APA Style formatting standards (spacing, font, headers, titles, abstracts, page numbering, etc.).
Introduction
Include an introductory paragraph that briefly introduces the topic you plan to investigate. The following questions might be helpful to guide you in this introductory paragraph.
Why is this it important to examine this topic?
What research has previously been done on the topic? (Cite in APA style)
What major theories attempt to explain the problem? You might consider limitations of previous work and describe how your study will contribute to the research literature.
Research Question
Be clear about your research question. For example, In this study, I will examine if listening to Mozart has an effect on cognitive performance.
Use one of the research questions we have been working on after revising it with the input from the Week 4 peer review.
Hypotheses
Make hypotheses (plural) about what you expect will happen as a result of the investigation. For example: Based on previous research by Raushcher, Gordon, and Schraw, (1997), we would expect that students in the Mozart condition would score higher on the cognitive tests than students in the Silence or Relaxation conditions.
4. Plan for Analyses
How do you plan to analyze your results? What methods would be most appropriate? (e.g., I will conduct an ANOVA to determine if there are statistically significant differences in test scores between the three conditions of Mozart, Silence, and Relaxation Music.)
References
Make sure to include a reference page with your references in correct MLA style.

The mid-term essay consists on a brief essay with images (1/2 pages) focusing on one object that illustrate art trade between two different cultures. The essay should be written as if you were an art dealer promoting the object in your website.(no carpet and ceramic )
Please answer the five prompts listed below: Short essay questions require at least six sentences each and you will need to reference the literary texts with quotes, paraphrases, or summaries (cited).
1. Identify the theme of Writs of Possession and discuss how sections 2, 3, 5, and 8 develop that theme, using evidence from the text to support your argument.
2. Using two short stories from this unit, discuss the differences between first person and third person narrator and how each affects the tone, organization, and theme of each story.
3. Using evidence from the text of Pretty Monsters, argue about who is the protagonist(s) and who/what is the antagonist(s). How does Link manipulate us as readers to root for the protagonist and against the antagonist (think about authors phrasing, organizational strategies, descriptive language)?
4. Some short stories we read this unit were relatively short, while others were considerably longer. Please pick one shorter short story and one longer short story and compare how their authors developed the pyramidal structure of fiction in each, with evidence from each text to make your point. Some things to consider: how long the exposition section lasted and why, where in the story the climax occured (ie, how much resolution followed), whether everything was resolved at the end of the story or not (ie, are there ‘loose ends’ and how do those affect the reader’s experience)?
5. The Yellow Wallpaper is very much a product of its time (1892), when psychology as a field of study was less than twenty years old and postpartum depression was not even known about, much less understood OR a legitimate diagnosis. Keeping the basic plot of the story the same (wife isolated from society by husband), how would you modernize Gilmans setting, complications, and climax to appeal to a 21rst-century audience?
For each prompt please read the stories below
1. Writs of Possession by Benjamin Percy
2. Girl by Jamaica Kincaid and A rose for Emily by William Faulkner
3. Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link
4. Girl by Jamaica Kincaid and The Faery Handbag by Kelly Link
5. The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkin Gilman
