Final Short Paper: is worth 8% of your final grade. (You have been practicing all quarter with your mini essays)
Choose 3 of the following terms on the list and write a 3-5 page essay, (double-spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch margins), on how Lissa: a Story about Medical Promise, Friendship, and Revolution addresses these three terms through a fictionalized story in comics form, based on medical anthropological research. Make sure you define all your terms so that someone who is not in our class could follow the logic and understand you. Your response should also reflect how Lissa was produced from medical anthropological research. Use textual evidence and cite your sources. The Model mini-essays posted on Canvas are good models of how to do this, and you should be well practiced now, after a quarter of writing mini-essays! If you are not totally sure about how a term applies to Lissa, make sure to discuss in office hours with the Professor or any of the TAs!
