There have been many episodes of hyperinflation, but the most famous are that of Germany during the interwar years, Zimbabwe 2007, Venezuela currently, Bolivia 1984, Yugoslavia in the 1990s, or Israel in the 1980s. There are just examples- you may use one of these but you don't have to, feel free to find and use other examples.
Explain how the hyperinflation began, how bad it was, how it affected the population, and finally, how it was eventually contained. What I specifically will be looking for is the answer to-
- How/why did the hyperinflation begin?
- How did it end?
Note that your paper should only focus on a historical episode– it is not necessary for you to define what hyperinflation is (I already know what it is). Thus, please refrain from defining hyperinflation in your essays instead stick to describing a hyperinflationary episode.

The purpose of this assignment is to assess your understanding of economic externalities, public goods and how they are paid for. Write a 1 to 1.5 page (500-750 words) essay.

Essay Three
[Note—your essay should be set up in MLA format with proper spacing and headers.]
Essay 3: An argument about literature—800-900 words.  (12.5% of final average) —Use the sample essays on the web page as models; however, remember that I require you to use proper MLA form to document quotes and write a works-cited entry. Because some of the sample essays were written before MLA rules changed, the citations may not be correct—make certain that your handbook has the latest MLA updates. Pay attention to announcements and emails because the proper format will be provided as the due dates for sources and for the essay approach.
Topic: Write a well-developed literary argument that analyzes some aspect of the following story ‘Désirée’s Baby ‘, 
Your essay must include specific examples and direct quotations from the story you chose (your primary source) and from an article from the library’s databases that will serve as a scholarly secondary source.  Your objective is to find an aspect of the story that is worth writing about. As you read, ask yourself questions about the story that might help you generate good essay topics.  With the points that you use from the story, you want to tell why the information is important and how the information proves your thesis.  Make sure that your thesis is arguable and that you prove your thesis. As you write, make certain that you are truly analyzing the story, not writing a summary of the story’s events.
Your secondary source does not have to deal directly with your primary source: it can deal with the aspect of the primary source that you choose to consider (for example, if you are writing about Armand’s racism in “Désirée’s Baby,” you could find an article on interracial marriage before the Civil War).  However, your secondary source must be a scholarly article from one of the GCSC library databases.  Remember to submit the source by its due date. If the source is not submitted, ten points will be taken from the essay’s grade.
Look over the writing checklist on the course web page for other stylistic concerns. Keep in mind that the story is your focus.
This essay must contain proper in-text citations and a works-cited page. Secondary source materials must be submitted a week before the essay is due. Make certain that you post the required paragraphs on the discussion board. Not posting your paragraphs or submitting the source by the dates on the study schedule will result in your losing ten points from your essay’s grade.
Your essay must be original; no essay submitted for another course will be accepted for this assignment.
Make sure that you do the following in your essay:
1.    INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
Introduce the author and title of the story that you have chosen as the basis for your argument.
Your thesis must be an arguable statement that tells what you are going to prove about the story you have chosen.  This statement must appear as the last sentence of your introductory paragraph.  In order to make sure that your thesis is arguable, you might want to begin the sentence with because or although.

2.    BODY PARAGRAPHS
Each aspect or element of your evaluation should be developed in a paragraph, with a topic sentence, explanation, and specific examples. Make certain that your explanation of the examples that you use from the story is always longer than the example. In other words, the bulk of the writing should be an explanation of how your examples prove your thesis. Double check all of the information you present to ensure that you are not writing just plot summary. Remember that your goal is to examine why events occur rather than retelling what the events are.
Be certain to include parenthetical documentation after each quotation from the story and after each idea that you borrow from a secondary source. Keep in mind that your secondary source must be a scholarly journal article from the library’s databases. 
Make certain that you have your student identification number handy when you attempt to access the databases (given the nature of this particular essay, you might want to check Academic Search Complete, Literary Reference Center Plus, or JStor first when looking for information on a story).
We also have access to MLA citation guides on the library's website at under the citation information.
3.    CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
Offer a well-developed paragraph that reflects all the evidence in your paper.
4.    SET UP
Make certain that your essay follows the set up shown on the template.
Times New Roman twelve-point font must be used—check all parts of your essay from the header through the works-cited page to make certain that your font is consistent
One-inch margins on each edge of the page
Header (your last name and page number) half an inch from the upper right corner of each page
Heading on the first page in the proper order with the proper information
Double spaced with no extra spaces within the essay
Proper in-text citations used for quotations from the primary source (the story you have chosen) and any information learned from your scholarly secondary source (the article from the library’s database)—double check all class information to make certain your citations are correct
Look at the information on the writing checklist posted under course documents for stylistic help with composing your essay
A works-cited page at the end of the essay that cites the story and secondary source utilizing proper MLA citation
Your secondary source must be submitted at least a week before the essay’s due date—I do not want a description of the source or a works-cited page (that page will be the last page of your actual essay); I want the actual source. Submit a copy of the source in the drop box labeled sources for essay three. Whether your source is a .pdf file or an html file, you can save the file to your computer and upload it in the drop box.
Post your paragraphs on the unit discussion board and submit your secondary sources in the drop box by the due dates to avoid losing points on the essay

Humanities 
Comparative Rhetorical Analysis of Disciplines 

Objectives: Differentiate the language, style, and format in sample writings for different disciplines o Discuss the writing strategies for each discipline o Review and practice MLA style and documentation 

Introduction: 
The comparative analysis is part classification, as its purpose is to identify the defining elements of each discipline. Being able to identify the specific focus, audience, language, style, structure, and purpose of various texts allows one to better understand the use of conventions, and how to use these conventions to reach specific discourse communities. Reading articles from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences will increase literacy in these specific areas and help one acquire the needed language skills to approach each discipline. It will increase knowledge of discipline- specific language and reinforce effective reading strategies to process, comprehend, and critically analyze a wide range of texts.  Assignment: This assignment will include three articles, each from a different discipline. You will read all three articles and determine which article belongs to the humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences. You will then produce a two-page essay wherein you discuss and compare the language, style, and format for each article. Consider the following questions: Minus journal titles, what indicates each article’s discipline? How is the overall paper organized? What writing strategies are being used? 

Requirements: o Two full pages, double-spaced o Times New Roman, 12-point black font o MLA style and documentation—including a works cited page for the three provided articles (see articles provided under the assignment link, please) o Use of academic third person (no first person “I” or second person “you,” please) o Comparative discussion o Discussion of language, style, format, and focus of the disciplines, to include textu
