My primary source is an article from Washington university’s Srillia Nayak’s “What’s missing from the wall”, most specificallly there are two pictures in this essay I want to analyze the first one is a very colorful picture of a pair of green and yellow hands who are supposed to be making food, which I interpreted as a white family more often than not given bright and angelic features. I want to use that picture in the context of feminism in the sense that those hands making food make to be portrayed so colofulluy represent the fact that white feminism is the standard form of feminism in our society no matter how much we try to deny it.
The other photo in this article is that of a black woman this picture however is portrayed in black and white, meant to be the villanized form of feminism.
The key feature of this essay is development. Namely, you want to build the scaffolding of your research paper by describing, summarizing, interpreting through evidence, and making a claim about your primary text(s), incorporating, analyzing, and interpreting evidence from peer-reviewed and, as needed, popular sources along the way. You are striving to answer your revised research question and/or explicate a thesis that has arisen from that question. What is not expected in this essay: an introduction or conclusion or developed transitions or perfected style.

If the draft does not engage with the primary text(s) through the incorporation, analysis, and interpretation of evidence from peer-reviewed and, as needed, popular sources in order to answer your revised research question and/or to present a thesis that has arisen from that question, then the grade will be deducted two full letters. These deductions are cumulative.
- Given that this essay will be read by your peers, please confirm with them whether they prefer a typed copy. My recommendation is that you handwrite your draft first within your time limit.
