English Question
I need some assistance in writing an academic, yet persuasive essay on the article:
“The story of the Attica riot that changed American prison conditions”
https://timeline.com/attica-riot-prison-conditions-fbfdf96620f9
I highly encourage you to read the Wikipedia article on the uprising, as this will provide you with some additional context and be especially helpful in noticing what parts of the story your chose text omits from its version of the event. The Wikipedia article is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attica_Prison_riot
This essay should include a strong introduction about the prison riot that clearly sets out the aims of what you are about to write and, if applicable, refers to the subject under investigation. Please state what the essay will try to achieve and briefly mention some of the main points you will consider. The idea is to give the marker an overview of your argument.
This should be a four to five-page paper, the task is to write about the events at Attica Correctional Facility in September 1971 from the article “The story of the Attica riot that changed American prison conditions” and analyze how that text seeks to shape and control our understanding of the events through various narrative and rhetorical strategies. The task is not to figure out what ‘really happened at Attica or who was ultimately responsible for the great loss of life there but to uncover the means by which your chosen text works to persuade its audience of its version of what happened and why. Our operating assumption here is that no version of the past can be entirely objective, but instead, as Friedrich Nietzsche asserted, “there are no facts, only interpretations.”
