Writing Homework Help

Utilizing only Raye C. Ringholz’s Uranium Frenzy: Saga of the Nuclear West, write a 2-3 page, double-spaced paper, analyzing the following question:

The book Uranium Frenzy details the halcyon days of uranium mining and caution-be-damned testing of nuclear weapons in Nevada that negatively impacted Utahans. Write an analytical paper detailing four individuals who were negative affected by the uranium boom and testing in Utah. Who or what entity was responsible for the harm that befell these people? Did they seek or find justice for their injuries?

Notes on Developing Your Argument and Crafting Your Essay

This is an analytical paper and should be written as an argumentative essay. As such please make sure to develop a thesis (what you will argue) and place it in the introductory paragraph. Also, every argument you make should have specific examples from the book to make your point more persuasive; these would include specific people, laws, court cases, groups of people, towns, etc. that were impacted by the uranium frenzy.

Please note that this should not be a “book review” that recounts the narrative in the book. If you have any questions please contact me. I can look over an outline or rough drafts to make sure you are on the right track.
