Are you treated as equal by earlier generations? Would you feel pressured to pledge your loyalty to a political machine?

Unit II Essay

The list below includes some provocative discussions related to the events in this

unit’s reading. In an essay of a minimum of 500 words, take a first-person

perspective of the bulleted descriptions below. Develop an argument in your own

words, and justify academically the side of the argument you choose. The essay will

need to reflect your understanding of the time to avoid being anachronistic, and

your argument must come from the standpoint of a first generation immigrant and

encompass each of the four elements below.

Are you treated as equal by earlier generations?
Would you feel pressured to pledge your loyalty to a political machine?
Would you agree to engage in a strike?
Do you feel leisure opportunities are divided by social class?

As this is a point of view essay, a modern perspective will not accurately address

what the question is asking for. It is strongly suggested that at least one

selection from the provided source book is used as research of the event and views

of the time. All sources and their use must be appropriately identified per 6th

edition APA format.

Unit III Essay

In a minimum of 2 pages, characterize the pre-war to post-war experience on the

home-front. Write from the perspective of a real-life person that would have

experienced this era, such as a home town, family member, local landmark, religious

institution, or civic leader.

Your essay must discuss the relationship of this person’s experience to the time

period/event, and must include:

reaction to British v. German naval battles;
what changed because of the movement from isolationism;
the experience of the local populations and varied demographics, including African

Americans, women, and lower classes;
assess the relevance of your subject’s concerns about the war’s impact on the

international community;
the war’s economic impact; and
compare/contrast pre/post war experience.
