Structure and execute a causal analysis

Reference no: EM131071818

English class. Must cite work and must be 300 words.

Read Chapter 7 in Argument Today to learn how we structure and execute a causal analysis. Then, read King's "Why We Crave Horror Movies." Our discussion this week will focus on gauging how much King follows the text's guidelines. Particularly from section 7.3 ("Organizing and Drafting Your Causal Analysis") choose three of the pieces of guidance that the text offers, cite them specifically using page numbers, then find examples where King does this in his essay.

While it's safe to assume that Stephen King never took ENG 121 at Wlimington, we can still learn a great deal from seeing how a great author can follow the same guidelines that we do as students. Then, offer what you believe the thesis of the piece to be. Keep in mind that you're not necessarily on an Easter Egg Hunt for one sentence or phrase that captures the entire piece's thesis. Instead, you will need to analyze the claims that the essay makes and the evidence used to support it to distill the point that is being made. For instance, the thesis of this essay is not, "We crave horror movies"...that's its topic...and also its title. What point about our craving for horror movies and the causes of this craving is King making? Your total post of three guidelines from Chapter 7, the evidence of these in King's essay, and the thesis should be approximately 300 words and posted by Wednesday at 11:59 PM.
