Your essay must be 1,000+ words. Your essay must closely engage with the assigned text(s) through direct quotation and analysis by incorporating at least four direct quotations, each followed by close analysis of the text’s language and meaning. Your essay should present a compelling, coherent, and specific thesis that is consistently and thoroughly developed.  Summarizing the readings or relying on personal reaction will result in a lowered score or a grade of zero. Responses should omit personal reflection in favor of analysis and provide ample support from our readings. Exams that fall short of the minimum word count and/or fail to incorporate textual support (cited quotations) from our readings will suffer a significant grade reduction. Your work will be graded on the quality of your ideas as well as your writing. Criteria for grading include completeness, thoughtfulness, and development and support of a particular argument. Per the plagiarism policy, you must cite ideas that are not your own. You must include MLA format in-text citations. The following deductions will apply: 1) Missing textual support (quotations) from the primary text= -20% of the grade 2) Short of the word requirement= loses points based on percentage short (ex: an essay of 500 words can receive up to 50% credit with 1,000 words required) Prompts (select ONE): 1) Using one or two of the short stories assigned in module 2, consider how the text(s) depict political power and/or state violence. What role do the government and/or military play in characters’ lives? What forms of control predominate? How and when do characters resist? Be sure to quote at least four examples from the text(s). Closely analyze the examples you cite with attention to the relationship between power, violence, and resistance.  2) Using one or two of the short stories assigned in module 2, consider how the text(s) explore the impact of migration, exile, and/or displacement. When and why do characters leave, flee, or imaginatively escape? What risks accompany those choices? Be sure to quote at least four examples from the text(s). Closely analyze the examples you cite with a focus on the relationship between migration, loss, and identity.  3) Using one or two of the short stories assigned in module 2, consider how and why the text(s) reference folklore and/or spirituality. What role do these elements play? When and why do characters turn to folklore and/or spirituality? How do these belief systems help characters endure, make meaning, or resist? Be sure to quote at least four examples from the text(s). Closely analyze the examples you cite with a focus on the relationship between belief, survival, and cultural identity.  Note- Your essay should address one of two of these short stories: Edwidge Danticat’s “Nineteen Thirty-Seven” from Krik? Krak! Edwidge Danticat’s “Children of the Sea” from Krik? Krak! Edwidge Danticat’s “A Wall of Fire Rising” from Krik? Krak! Edwidge Danticat’s “Caroline’s Wedding” from Krik? Krak!

The half-life of a first-order reaction:A. Increases with concentration B. Decreases with concentration C. Remains constant D. Is equal to the activation energy

If the activation energy for a given compound is found to be 42.0 kJ/mol, with a frequency factor of 8.0 × 1010 s-1, what is the rate constant for this reaction at 298 K?A) 2.9 × 10-4 s-1B) 7.4 × 10-4 s-1C) 1.4 × 109 s-1D) 4.6 × 10 5 s-1E) 3.5 × 103 s-1

 Which factor generally does NOT affect the rate of a chemical reaction?A. Temperature B. Concentration C. Catalyst D. Color of the reactants

 Which statement about catalysts is true?A. They are consumed during the reaction. B. They increase activation energy. C. They provide an alternative reaction pathway. D. They change the ΔH of the reaction.

 Increasing temperature generally increases reaction rate because:A. Particles become larger B. More particles have energy greater than the activation energy C. Concentration increases D. Pressure decreases

20.  Which of the following statements regarding Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis is false? (a)  The faraday is a quantitative unit of electricity. (b)  One mole of electrons gained in reduction is equivalent to one faraday of electricity. (c)  One mole of electrons lost in oxidation is equivalent to one faraday of electricity.
