SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS ENGLISH PAPER
Choose one of the following essays (or sample chapters) from the book They Say / I Say and analyze and evaluate its argument.
- Anne-Marie Slaughter, “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All”
- Richard Dorment, “Why Men Still Can’t Have it All”
In other words, write an essay about the holes in the author’s argument (this builds off of the background information assignment). Your essay will explore why either Slaughter or Dorment’s argument is flawed. Use three other essays / outside sources to aid in your analysis. Two of these sources need to come from THE ARTICLES POSTED IN THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION.
