What are the History of rehabilitation for drug offenses in the US and war on drugs.For your final major assignment this semester, you will be combining your work from your annotated bibliography and your primary source analysis into a final paper. Because your previous assignments have built up to this one, you may include revisions of any class work you have completed so far.
This essay can utilize your primary source in one of two ways. First, you can use it to help your reader better understand the movement or political subculture that you’re writing about, in the form of something like “[source] explains [the point of view and goals] of [movement] because [very short summary of relevant evidence].”[1] Alternatively, you can use the source to help your reader contextualize how the movement is/was the result of some other, larger, event or historical force, as in: “[primary source] demonstrates how [social movement] was responding to [issue or event] by [advocating for a particular change].”
Your essay should be however long you need to make your argument, but aim for ten pages. Your essay should include a thesis statement (you may use the models above, if you wish), clear sections and paragraphs headed by topic sentences, as well as a clear and defined introduction and conclusion. Your body sections should each take some evidence from your primary source, interpret it, and then contextualize it with secondary sources. I will not require you to use a certain number of secondary sources, but I’m suspicious of your ability to complete this assignment if you use fewer than six (feel free to try to prove me wrong). Make sure to include consistent in-text citations in whatever citation format you have chosen, as well as a works cited page at the end. Make sure also to include a title (try to be clever) and a byline.
I will attach my annotated bibliography and primary source analysis and the primary source. Add more engagement with the primary source and make the abstract less like an outline, include how does Alexander make her arguments? Why does she think they will be effective and convincing.
For the annotated bibliography my citation formatting is inconsistent, my annotations are largely vague and feel padded with extra words and sentences. Please fix this
