connect the rough draft to this
To connect Kwame Anthony Appiah’s essay “What Does It Mean to ‘Look Like Me’?”with current events and social phenomena, here are three relevant examples.My first example is Halle Bailey being Ariel in the live action little mermaid movie. It was a big shock because in the original movie Ariel was a white woman and in the live action they showed how skin color means nothing by making Halle the little mermaid.My second example is Kamala Harris and her running for president. It’s a big shock because she’s African American and would be the first president to be a woman. She would also be the first president to be connected to the things she’s connected to. My third example is the Black Lives Matter protest during Covid times. This happen because cops killing black men was at a all time high during that time. People were just openly being racist. All of this connects back to Kwame Anthony Appiah’s essay “What Does It Mean to ‘Look Like Me’?” Because all of these things show how different they act to people that don’t fit their ideal look.

How Black Lives Matter Changed the Way Americans Fight for Freedom
Drafting Procedure:
Now the time has come for you to step back and examine what you have written so far. Review your annotations, notes, summary, response, and connections and sources. You are looking for ways to shape the idea you are developing from your work thus far into a thesis. Your thesis, or controlling idea, should draw correlations between the reading you chose from Signs of Life and the events, happening, things, or phenomena you choose to connect to that reading. Keep an open mind as you read over your notes; look to your notes in order to form your thesis rather than imposing what you think your thesis should be on your notes. Finally, let your essay say what you mean to say about the idea you are contending with as it relates to US culture. As you draft, consider:
Do you agree, disagree, or wish to complicate the argument put forth by the author of your chosen reading from Signs of Life?
Why are the connections you are making between phenomena in popular culture and your chosen reading relevant?
What are the larger implications of the idea? In other words, what other ideas are hidden behind or inside this idea, ideas that are unstated? What is also true that has not been expressed? What else could happen that hasn’t been revealed or explained?
**Your finished essay should…
Display a close reading and critical analysis of the reading you chose from Signs of Life.
Include specific references to your chosen reading in the form of relevant summary and quoted material.
Include a carefully developed thesis statement; i.e., a controlling or governing idea. Remember that your thesis statement should be crafted as a response to your chosen reading from Signs of Life.
Discuss and explain the important main ideas, as they apply to your thesis, from your chosen reading from Signs of Life.
Strive to provide concrete, specific, and vivid descriptions and sensory imagery specifically when providing context for the events, happenings, phenomena from current and popular culture you are using to support your argument.
Assignment Notes:
Use MLA documentation, including parenthetical citations and a Works Cited list. (Consult Purdue OWL and the CSUN library webpage for the details about MLA 9th edition citation guidelines and documentation as well as your notes from our class discussions on proper formatting.)
Work toward a finished length of 4-5 double-spaced pages for your final essay (earlier drafts may be shorter).
Carefully edit for errors. Run spell-check and grammar check, and proofread well before submitting your essay.
Create a working title – even at the first draft stage (it can always be revised). Avoid titling the essay “Progression #1” or “Essay #1” or any other title that refers to the assignment name.
Take care to upload your essay in plenty of time, just in case there are technical issues with Canvas.
