November 28th, 2020 MLA, Religion / Theology Comments Off on Miracle Stories Being Relevant

Miracle Stories Being Relevant

You are chatting with your sister and the topic of miracles come up. She says:

I am confused about miracle stories. I believe that God can do anything, so I guess I believe in them, though I am not sure how they can go with science? In any case, I do not see what the point of miracle stories is. They will never happen to me, why should I care? And if miracles could happen to me, then why should I work to get things done, like studying for my exams? I do not see the point of these stories.

You say: Well, I am taking a course on miracle stories I could explain it to you but it would take some time.

S: Really? I am ready to listen. Take your time.

Y: Listening requires some critical thinking, too. Id have to talk about nature, science and even free will. I will use ideas from some thinkers and theologians, including Muslim sources because the course was focused on Islam.

S: Sure. I am still interested!

Y: All right, then. I will show you how miracle stories can be relevant to us in this day and age…

Using only class materials, –*no* outside research allowed– offer a thoughtful essay of how you would explain the significance of miracle stories to your sister. Make a rich use of class discussions and readings, especially on the ones after the midterm. Illustrate how you understand and connect variety of relevant ideas and concepts. Keep in mind you are addressing someone who is not taking the class. Be as accessible as possible and feel free to be creative. The paper should be around five pages (double spaced in regular Times font 12 size, or some other font that yields 23-24 lines per page, not 17-18). Express ideas fully in your own words (keep quotations to bare minimum or, better, skip them.) Give references in brackets (e.g. textbook p. # ; Nursi, CP 100). See below for general guidelines on writing the paper.

HOW TO WRITE YOUR PAPER

Make sure you carefully completed all your readings so far and went over class notes.
Read your essay question carefully. What is it asking you to do? What kind of questions and concepts do you need to address so as to respond to the essay question adequately?
Do brainstorming. Once you clarified your target questions for the essay, you will start remembering that these questions have been answered in the readings by different authors and during class lectures. Just note down the answers as you remember, regardless of the order, and regardless of whether you remember which author provided which information.
Now go back to the readings and your class notes, refresh your memory, find the relevant pages you need, and read over. Enrich your brainstorming list (from step 3). This time start identifying which idea is from which author.
Group the ideas in your brainstorm list, and make an outline. Tell yourself the order in which you will tackle these questions. In other words, how will the flow of your essay be? Which points will you make first to lead onto next ones?
Form a thesis statement that will be placed at the end of your introduction paragraph.
Write your draft. 
The essay isnt meant to be mystery writing where answers are revealed at the end. Rather, be upfront. Make sure you have a good introduction where you clearly indicate what is the aim of your essay, and how you will accomplish it. Announce your thesis statement toward the end of your introduction paragraph. For instance, In this essay, I would like to do X, by showing A, B, C and D.
The following paragraphs should flow in accordance with your thesis statement. Show me how well you comprehended the readings and discussions in relation to your essay question. I need to see your comprehension and analysis skills at work. Write coherently, clearly and with reference to the readings. Make sure each paragraph is a coherent unit in itself and is coherently linked with other paragraphs.
Make sure you have a brief conclusion paragraph, where you briefly summarize and finalize what you have discussed in the essay.
Always refer to your sources from the readings by noting the author and the page number in parentheses.
Do not use direct quotes from your sources unless you think direct quote would be much more powerful than paraphrasing the author. In a good paper, direct quotations will be kept to minimum.
Check your essay for grammatical errors and incomplete sentences! For the final revision, read the whole paper out loud, and ask yourself: did I answer the essay question well? Reading out loud will help you spot any inconsistencies in your argument and awkward wordings.
If possible, take advantage of The Writing Center to help you further improve your writing.

This is our last essay.  Remember, I will not read this draft.  You earn the points by submitting and peer reviewing. This is the opportunity to show me what you have learned about writing a college level essay.  We learned about assimilation and bias in the informational texts: Understanding the ProblemPreview the document By Janna Tiffany Diaz, and Assimilation in AmericaPreview the document by Yoko Shaw Taylor.  We experienced these concepts in both The Sisters are Alright: Changing the Broken Narrative of Black Women in America by Tamara Winfrey Harris and Fresh Off the Boat by Eddie Huang.  We learned the way an individual of color assimilates to American culture and the way an individual of color experiences bias from American culture.   

1.To help you write your essay:
Create a Thesis Statement by Identifying a specific bias issue which both texts share

2. Define Bias and Assimilation in your own words; then, you can use a quotation from Diaz and Taylor to support your definition.

3. To create content for the body of your paper answer these questions and locate direct quotations to help you support your responses to these questions:
How is this bias affecting Huang and the women in Harriss text?
How are Huang and the women in Harriss text benefitting from this bias?
How are Huang and the women in Harriss text hurt or limited by this bias?
How will erasing this bias help Huang and the women in Harriss text?
Who might feel threatened by an attempt to erase this bias?

4. After answering these questions, see if you have three or four clear points you wish to make about Bias and Assimilation. These points will be the paragraphs that support your thesis statement.  Once you have decided on your points, write clear a sentence for each point; these sentences will be the topic sentence for your paragraphs.
