[SOLVED] End of the Fictional Cop

https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2020/07/the-end-of-the-television-cop/614629/ (Article) Select an article that covers a topic about which you might want to do the final essay because final essay topics will be related to these articles (you will also be able to switch topics). Read at least your top two or three choices and complete an evidence list for one—or two of them, if you can’t quite decide. Write an observational paragraph that draws on the evidence list and then a tentative thesis for the article (the tentative thesis is also a part of Homework 3). This will likely not be your final thesis, but it should suggest how/why you have interpreted the author’s main argument in this particular way or with this specific focus. Remember, you are explaining a complex argument rather than summarizing a text. Keep in mind that your short essay is SHORTER than the article and so you will not be able to cover everything. Instead, focus on an important aspect of the article (the one you could identify as the most compelling or central one); the patterns or contrasts evidence list might be particularly helpful in narrowing this down.Consider using outlines to organize your analysis after completing an evidence list. The Useful Links section has some outline resources. Your outline should not just be a list (this might result in a paper that mostly lists) but should relate your sub-arguments to the examples, quotations, or other forms of support or elaboration that you can include.As you edit your draft, make sure that you are using a formal analytical tone in your writing (even if the article itself includes some informal language). You can write “I” but should avoid the informal “you”, and you should use the full name the first time you refer to the author but then just use the last name. You might also edit your transitions between paragraphs to ensure that you are connecting sub-arguments. ( I just wanted to provide you with the approach of the essay)
