history paper
Choose one prompt and answer it in a short essay of 250-500 words. The essay should fully consider the question(s) and should pull from the course readings, as well as your own experiences and opinions, if applicable. Show me that you've really thought about your topic and that you have a full understanding of this issue. Your essay should have both a strong introduction (with a thesis statement that clearly states your argument) and a strong conclusion. 1. How was late 19th-century immigration different from earlier immigration? Where did the majority of immigrants end up and what was life like for them once they reached the U.S.? 2. Define realism in late 19th century art and literature. Explain the basic values of realism, and describe works of specific writers and artists who would be classified as realists.
