Hitler+Paper+Thesis+Topic

On Nation and Race Essay

For tonight's assignment you have to create what will be called a skeleton outline. (Thesis and supports that are subject to change.) 1. Write an arguable thesis statement (worthy of three pages) 2. Identify your three points of evidence that you can use to support this thesis AND explain how you plan to use the evidence. Simply copying quotes isn't good enough.
 * "On Nation and Race" Cause and Effect Paper**
 * Directions: We will write a 3-4 page paper that will closely analyze Hitler's famous work, "On Nation and Race". This critique is NOT a summary of his essay. Instead, I want you to analyze how or why this essay worked in fooling millions of highly intelligent people.**
 * If you can't come up with three reasons, rethink your original thesis statement. Maybe the thesis just won't work for you. Come up with one you can really prove because if you can't, you don't really have a paper, do you?

Medium: Prove that Hitler uses one particular logical fallacy throughout his essay. Medium: Prove how Hitler uses three different fallacies. Challenging: Identify his strategy for using certain fallacies in certain places. Impressive: Create your own thesis...a critical critique of this essay. Feel free to bring in historical references to prove your point or perhaps look at this topic from a totally different perspective. Identify and deflate one of the arguments with your own research. Consider applying the Ethos/Pathos/Logos philosophy. If Hitler wanted to give the people of Germany one 'thing' to lure him towards his side, what would it be? Oh, the ideas are endless.
 * Having trouble coming up with a challenging thesis statement?**
