Paper , Order, or Assignment Requirements

Your assignment is to write a paper of 8-10 double spaced pages on one of these broad subject areas. Please choose one of these general topics, and then do some preliminary research to narrow it down. You can do a close reading of a small number of primary source texts, and put them in context, or you can look for patterns—arguments, rhetorical strategies themes etc.—in a broad number of texts. Your paper must advance an argument by using the evidence you find in your sources. Use sources: Fletcher, W. A. Rebel Private, Front and Rear: Experiences and Observations from the Early Fifties and through the Civil War. Bethesda, MD: U Publications of America, 1990. Print.
