The writing assignment should be about 6 pages-long, Century Schoolbook, 12 pt-font, 1 inch all around, double-spaced and APA format (check APA Style Guides here).

The paper should be presented in an organized and well-thought manner.

• THOSE ARE NOT EASY ASSIGNMENTS. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THOROUGHLY
  • Those assignments are NOT summaries of the readings but analyses! (WARNING)

• The goal of this paper is to read and answer the questions by evaluating and analyzing the common points and differences ACROSS the readings using your SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION
  • Do NOT write about each article one after another
  • When referencing articles, make sure to quote correctly with page number
  • Long quotations (3 lines or more) are NOT recommended but if you do use some, make sure they are single-spaced
• Read Evicted book from pp. 111-203 and answer the following 3 questions:
  • Question 1: Using your sociological imagination, identify 2 themes and explain how individuals and families are affected by poverty.
  • Question 2: Using your sociological imagination, explain how poverty is structured around ethnicity and age.
  • Question 3: Select one particular story and analyze it first without using your sociological imagination, and then again with a sociological imagination.

• For the first 2 questions, this is how your answers should be structured:
  • Introduction of a common theme identified in the stories
  • Explain this theme using your sociological imagination
    • How does this theme help us understand the issues faced by people in poverty?
    • Provide in-depth analysis around this theme and how it is linked to poverty
    • Be sure to provide sources to support your claims (refer to Power & Poverty)
  • Provide short examples from the stories
  • Repeat for 2nd theme

• The first 2 questions should be roughly 2 pages each and the last question should not be longer than 1 page.

• Check the organization of your paper, spelling and grammar.
