Required book: The slave ship (Marcus Rediker)
Your essay is no longer than 5 typed pages. The paper is to be double-spaced, 12 pt Cambria font, pages numbered on the top right, and stapled. Do
not double space between paragraphs. I will not accept papers that do not follow these instructions.
The essay is based only on the book : ( Slave Ship ). No outside sources may be used, to do so will constitute plagarism for the purposes of this
course.
In a well-written and analytical essay, answer the following question. Your essay must have a thesis that is stated in the first paragraph and the
essay must be based on examples from the reading, not simply your free flowing thoughts.
Question:
What is the thesis of the Slave Ship? How does Rediker develop his thesis?
