December 20th, 2022
Prompt: Given your knowledge of the world in which you live, do you think that America has moved closer, or further away from the ideals that are outlined in the Declaration of Independence?
Write a five paragraph essay in which you make a clear argument that defends your position in response to the prompt. In your essay, you will use both evidence from the text of the Declaration of Independence, as well as your own research from at least one other source. You will form your essay using the AXES body paragraph structure. Your thesis will be structured using the Ashford University Thesis Generator, which will help you to develop both the thesis and a brief outline of the topics for each of your body paragraphs. The entire essay will by typed in MLA format (see samples below), and you will create a works cited page (also in MLA format).
