Choose one of the following questions and write an argumentative essay that answers your chosen question. You will need to choose at least two readings from the course that will provide support for your paper. All support taken from the readings should be cited within the text using MLA formatting. See the attached MLA-Quick and Easy Guide for assistance.  
Option 1 from Unit 1:  How much of what happens in our lives do we actually control?
Option 2 from Unit 2:  If rules are put in place to keep us safe, is there ever a time when we should be fighting against them?
Your argumentative essay should include:
an introduction that
presents a reasonable claim, expressed in a clear thesis statement
names the author and genre of each text you have selected to support your claim
body paragraphs that
present a thorough analysis of your claim
contain textual evidence and details to support your claim
demonstrate a logical organization of ideas
a conclusion paragraph that
restates your thesis statement
effectively wraps up your essay
leaves your reader with a lasting impression, perhaps through an interesting final thought
