Writing the Essay

Your essay should have an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.

The introduction should do the following: Interest the reader with an effective opener

Identify the subject, work, and author (give author’s full name)

Introduce essay’s topic

Define key words, if necessary

The Body should do the following: Have logical organization

Have unity – present one central idea and be coherent.

Provide sufficient information to explain thesis statement

Have paragraphs that are unified, coherent, and adequately developed with details and evidence.

The conclusion should do the following: Summarize the main points

When writing about literature, remember to do the following:

Place quotation marks around the titles of poems, short stories, essays or chapters of a book and italicize the titles of novels or plays.

Use the present tense. For example, when explaining what a narrator says, you would write this: The narrator describes the people gathering for the lottery: “Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes” (233). Notice that the verb describes is in the present tense.

Incorporate quotes into your writing by introducing the quote as did above or by blending the quote into your sentence like this: The men discuss “planting and rain, tractors and taxes” (233).

Document quotes from the literary works by placing the page number from the prose work in and the line number from a poem in . Then write the source cited on a works cited page like this example:

Jackson, Shirley. “The Lottery.” Literature – An Introduction to Reading

and Writing. Ed. Edgar V. Roberts and Henry Jacobs. 5th ed.

Upper Saddle River: Prentice Hall, 1998. 233-238.

Give your essay a title which reflects the content of your essay.

What is the significance of the quilt? What role does it play? Why does it recur in the dialogue?How does the play function as a commentary on men and women, and the divisions between their lives?

Trifles premiered on August 8, 1916 at the Wharf Theater in Province town, MA. This one act play was based on a murder trial that Susan Glaspell covered as a young reporter in Des Moines, Iowa. Using careful timing, Glaspell delivers subtle revelations that draw the audience and the reader into this play. She definitely intended to sting the conscience of her audience and challenge their perceptions of justice and morality, while also focusing on the different experiences that men and women might have to the exact same objective fact or event. The play raises some interesting questions.

Does justice change with perspective? If so, is it possible to handle it fairly?

Since it’s first production in 1916 Trifles has become one of the most anthologized works in American theater history and is frequently cited as one of the great masterpieces of American theater. And It is now rightfully considered a masterpiece of the early feminist movement.

Later in her career, Glaspell also retold this play as the short story A Jury of her Peers.

This is a wonderful play that was once widely known. It shouldn’t linger as a hidden gem, and encourage you to read this play and then share it with your friends.

1. Compare and contrast two (2) Nurse Practice Acts addressing

a) identify each state (Ohio and Kentucky)

b) the APRN Title,

c) Scope of Practice including prescriptive authority,

d) education requirements, and

e) national certification.

Read the following documents:

National Council of State Boards of Nursing. (2018). APRN Consensus Model Toolkit. Retrieved from https://www.ncsbn.org/739.htm (Links to an external site.) review this site and find the information needed for the Discussion Board items.

Review state implementation of NCSBN Consensus Model. National Council of State Boards of Nursing. (2018, April 23). APRN consensus implementation status. Retrieved from https://www.ncsbn.org/5397.htm (Links to an external site.)

Review Kentucky Board of Nursing. (2018). RN & APRN Licensure Information. Retrieved from https://kbn.ky.gov/aprnlicenseinfo/Pages/default.aspx (Links to an external site.)

Pay particular attention to: nursing licensure requirements including APRN, nurse practice acts including APRN, scope of practice including APRN, the specifics of the NCSBN Consensus Model, the various sources of regulation, and the role of courts in shaping policy.

Further, pay particular attention to: Understanding Scope of Practice. Scope of Practice is tied to the Nurse Practice Act of the state in which you practice.

For nurses who work for the Veterans Administration, this is a bit different (this is truly the only exception that am aware of).

You must know the Nurse Practice Act in your state and understand that this is legislated.
