Rationale:
• This essay is a mini-version of Essay 4.
• In effect, this essay bridges the gap between the Bibliographical Analysis Essay & Essay 4 by giving you the opportunity to compose a shorter version of what will eventually become Essay 4.
• Like all other writings, the Moveable Bridge Essay must have a beginning, middle, and end: it cannot abruptly end.

  Prompt:

  • Like the Bibliographical Analysis Essay, this essay also comes from the research done for your annotative bibliography.
  • You must cite a minimum of 4 sources from your annotative bibliography, which means both in-text and works cited page citations.
  • You may use additional new sources beyond the 4 if you wish.
  • Of course, I will assist you during peer revisions and am available for questions via E-mail, office hours, and gladly by appointment. I am always willing to discuss various approaches to your assignments, or read a draft of your work in progress.
  • Devise your own thesis and argument.
