Synthesize the arguments made by THREE of the authors we have read.

Task: In this first essay, you will synthesize the arguments made by THREE of the authors we have read. Your job is to answer the question, “what does it mean to be an American?” according to the authors we have read. This is a synthesis essay, meaning we are trying to make inferences about the authors’ implied arguments and synthesize them together. This is different from merely summarizing each author’s main point.  You must choose three authors to synthesize.

Your rough draft must contain: your thesis statement and all three body paragraphs.
