Choose one of the essay questions listed below and write a 1500-1750 word essay answering it.
Essays must cite all the sources you consult, in Chicago Style, and include Footnotes and Bibliography.
• State your overall response to the essay question succinctly and clearly in the opening paragraph. This may mean you end up writing your introduction when you’ve finished the rest of the essay, or you might rewrite the introduction after writing the body
• Write simply and clearly: short sentences, simple language – you get a lot of marks for sophisticated thought, but not that many for a sophisticated writing style
• Have an argument, not just a set of ‘facts’
