Success Summative (50 points)
Select someone successful: Is that person successful because of their individual efforts or because of legacy and/or opportunity?
- Please integrate evidence from reputable sources to support your claims.
- Include a link to any digital resources at the bottom of your essay.
Today in class, students were assigned the following directions. Having said this, we all got to work picking people that were successful and researching them online for evidence or having pre-researched which was advised. In my own personal writing, I choose the most well know hip hop artist of our generation, Drake. Now to me, drake perfectly fits the position for this prompt. I mean, he made $40 million last year alone... not to mention 15 tracks on the Billboards top 100!
In our essays, we were expected to write papers including the following:
- Introduction
- Claim
- Evidence
- Conclusion
- Work cited
- Correct punctuation
As well as incorporating all of this, you were faced with the decision to prove whether the person you choose was successful individually or because of the efforts of others or opportunity. In my case drake seemed to get successful his own way, because his music brought him to where he is now and the music he makes are to show for it. After concluding your essay you are to put any and all links into the paper that you used to compose the essay. After composing all period, eventually sharing the document with Mr. Rivers had brought us to the bell.
Nice work, John! Don't forget to include a picture, song, video, or some other piece of media to take your post to the next level. Nice details.
