This semester, you will write three related, ARGUMENTATIVE papers about a topic inspired by Pollan’s chapters we’ve read. You shouldn’t try to recreate his argument; instead, you are writing about an idea he mentions or a topic related to his work. Begin brainstorming such an idea.
Your topic should span two shorter papers and a final which combines your first two essays.
Generally, students will find themselves in one of two groups. 1) You may choose to write two shorter essays on different, but related, ideas. For the final, you will revise your thesis so it is comprehensive and combines both. 2) Another option is to write both essays with the same essential argument. In that case, you would combine everything into your final.
In either case, you will write three independent, stand-alone essays with their own introductions, bodies, and conclusions. (No, you needn’t strictly follow a five paragraph essay format drilled into your mind during high school.) Along the way, you will revise your work and make it stronger in order to avoid copying for the final. While you are allowed to use the same material, you’ll find you need revision to make everything work.
You MUST include Pollan in each paper. (You are also encouraged to read chapters not assigned for class readings.) The rest of your sources should be a well-diversified group of materials. That includes journals, full-length researched books, reference materials, quality Web sites, etc.
PAPERS MUST BE NEW, ORIGINAL WORK. If you have a paper you’ve used in the past – even one that is closely related – you need to pick a new topic! All students should be starting at the same point (and, yes, it is technically possible to plagiarize yourself when using older work).
– You have already written the first essay and now this week we are writing the second paper out of 3 and I have added an sample paper from the professor for a little help. There are paper checklist that you have to follow which is also been added. There are some lists of topics you have to avoid. I have also added the first essay and the sample one as well for you to look. 137793-137793-influencers-of-food-choices-final-docx.docx is the one you wrote earlier for the first paper.
Topics to Avoid
Do not write about the following topics:
Fast food
Obesity
Animal testing
Diet and exercise
Animals in captivity
Energy drinks
Smoking or vaping
Agricultural diversity (as argued in our sample paper)
The following topics are, in general, too vague. If you have more specific environmental concerns, we can discuss more focused papers about environmental issues:
Climate change
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
*Your paper must be directly connected to Pollan. If your connection is not obvious, missing, or weak, I will not accept your paper.

Questions are to be answered in detail and presented as a typed document.
The questions should be answered using lecture material as well as additional sources such as recommended texts and other supplementary material. All referenced material should be cited in the text and included in a bibliography.
Case study 1
Barry presents with constant pain in the upper right quadrant, fever, and nausea. Upon further investigation, Barry is diagnosed with acute cholecystitis. Blood culture reports indicate evidence of sepsis, which is likely due to the enteric bacteria Escherichia coli. Barry is prescribed intravenous amoxicillin, 1 g every 6 hours.
Explain the mode of action of this class of antibiotics, regarding their specific molecular targets, and how they result in the death of the bacterium. (2 marks) Initially, the treatment appears to be effective. However, after several days, the symptoms return. The prescribed antibiotic now appears to be less effective.
How can bacteria produce resistance to this class of antibiotics? Why does cross- resistance occur? It is suggested that additional treatments be used to improve the effectiveness of amoxicillin.
What can be used to enhance the effectiveness of this class of antibiotics in resistant bacteria?
Why is it generally considered more difficult to treat infections caused by gram-negative bacteria?
Case study 2
Larry has been experiencing fever, pleuritic chest pain, and a new-onset cough. Chest X- ray indicates community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Patient mortality and hospital length of stay are significantly reduced if treatment is commenced within 8 hours, and so Larry is immediately administered intravenous penicillin, 1 g every 8 hours for 7 days.
However, within 1 hour of initial administration, Larry develops urticaria and bronchospasm, and finally anaphylaxis.
How is anaphylaxis normally treated to restore airway function in this patient?
What are the allergenic determinants behind this hypersensitivity reaction?
Will the patient likely experience a similar reaction to carbenicillin and cefuroxime?
Due to the immediate hypersensitivity reaction, Larry’s penicillin treatment has been replaced with oral moxifloxacin, 400 mg daily for 7 days.
What is the mechanism of action for this class of antibiotics?
Microbiological investigation of Larry’s sputum reveals that the infection is due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. As such another antibiotic, oral doxycycline (200 mg then 100 mg daily for 5 days), has been added to the treatment.
What is the mechanism of action for this class of antibiotics?
What adverse effects may be seen with the use of tetracyclines, and when should they not be used? What is the mechanism behind these effects?
Case study 3
Sally complains of frequent urination accompanied by a burning sensation. Upon examination, Sally’s urine sample appears cloudy. Urinalysis confirms the diagnosis of a urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Sally is subsequently administered intramuscular gentamicin, 3 mg/kg/day for 7 days, with blood concentrations of the antibiotic being monitored regularly. High fluid intake and complete bladder emptying have been recommended to Sally to assist with antimicrobial therapy for UTIs. The overall treatment has appeared effective in treating the infection.
1. Describe the mechanism of action for the antibiotic gentamicin. Why must the blood concentrations of gentamicin be monitored regarding potential toxicities?
This was the third UTI that Sally contracted within the last 12 months. As such, it is suggested that Sally begin antimicrobial prophylaxis to prevent future infection. Sally has been prescribed oral trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (cotrimoxazole, 160 mg, and 800 mg respectively), to be taken at night for the next 6 months.
Describe the mechanism of action for the two antibiotics, trimethoprim, and sulfamethoxazole.
Why are these two drugs more effective when used in combination?
Describe how bacterial resistance can develop to these two drugs.

For this essay, you will select two different kinds of sources to compare and contrast how they approach the same topic from their respective positions. You have control over what the two texts are but they must be different (for example, do not select two Washington Post news articles because they will be too similar; do select a Washington Post article and then a Youtube video about the same topic).
First you will describe the topic the two texts discuss. Then you will rhetorically analyze how each text presents the topic in their rhetorical situation, discussing how their purpose, audience, message, ethos, genre, context/circumstances and rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos) affect how the text was created and received. Your comparison should include discussion on how effective each text is in meeting their rhetorical situation. You are not reacting to the texts or otherwise incorporating your own personal opinion: you are analyzing the texts for how they are constructed and how those constructions impact their audiences.
When reporting your sources, follow the best practices for quoting and paraphrasing: signal phrases, in-text citations, changing enough of the original words and sentence structure when paraphrasing to avoid plagiarism, etc.
Example of Topic Ideas:
Scholarly source vs. Popular source (The Lancet’s “Carcinogenicity of Consumption of Red and Processed Meat” vs. NPR’s “Bad Day For Bacon: Processed Meats Cause Cancer, WHO Says”)
Hyper-partisan topic (Mask mandates, Roe v Wade appeal, Inflation, Gas Prices, etc)
Requirements:
Two sources for comparison (you may have additional research if it helps with the analysis)
1000-1400 words
