CRITICAL THINKING ESSAY ASSIGNMENT:

 

 

The Prompt:

 

Analyze the work of Thomas Paine, “From Rights of Man”.  Argue for one point (a theme or claim, an interpretation of an image, a characterization, etc.) that spoke to you in the work and with which you are intrigued. Explain how such is brought out in the work. Tie it in to ideas of importance in the era in which the work was written.  I look forward to reading your papers and learning from them. Teach me!

 

Be sure to properly cite any works you refer to in your paper. You may use up to two critical sources (but no more) as you explain your points, but primarily the paper should delve into the work itself.

Format: at least 5 pages (not including the Works Cited page), double-spaced, 1″ margins, fully cited, MLA Style.
