Humanities Project

  Humanities Project - Thesis and Outline I am fairly flexible on the two individuals chosen. Ideally, it should be two different historical periods, but I have allowed the same from time to time if a valid parallel or contrast can be made. For example, in previous sections, I have had people do MLK and Gandhi, Edgar Allen Poe and Mary Shelley, and William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway, just to name a few. You can also consider two influential figures from your major area Your entire introduction and thesis statement should be at least one full paragraph (5-8 lines), with your thesis statement being the last sentence in the paragraph. You continue now with the Body of the Outline: First Section - with details from the background of the subjects - to support the thesis. Discusses how the beginning (birth place, education, etc.) of their lives were similar or different in any way. Second Section - with details from the background of the subjects - to support the thesis. Discusses some of the influences of other writers that can be seen in the works of the subjects. Third Section - with details from the background of the subjects - to support the thesis. Discusses in detail some of the works of the writers that speak to who the writers are as individuals. Conclusion - Wraps everything up by referring back to thesis and supporting examples. Be sure to mention both subjects again to reiterate the thesis. Clinch with a closing statement and leave the reader with something to think about.
