- Consider our readings from Vasily Grossman, Gottlob Bidermann, and Richard Holmes. Judging by the evidence in these texts, how did men deal with the stress of war?
- Consider our readings on the Holocaust. What obstacles were there to resistance to mass murder? You may consider resistance by victims, perpetrators, or both.
- Was the violence perpetrated at the military front, in our readings for Week 1, similar in any way to the violence perpetrated behind the front, in our readings for Week 2?
- Consider our readings from Richard Kuisel, Giles Scott-Smith, and Uta G. Poiger.
Judging by the evidence these historians discuss, what groups in Europe feared American influence, and why? - Consider our readings from Elizabeth Heinemann and Ellen Furlough. Judging by these
two cases, in what sense did the growth of the consumer economy (supported, in the case
of tourism in France, by public policy) “democratize” West European culture and social
relations after World War II? - Consider our readings from C. A. Crosland, the One Nation Group, and Pope John
XXIII. What is the fundamental agreement among these views, and on what do they
differ? - Do the developments described in our readings from Elizabeth Heineman and Ellen
Furlough suggest that the West European economy was delivering the benefits that C. A.
R. Crosland, Pope John XXIII, and the One Nation Group believed it should?
Your paper should be a focused essay that presents, and supports with evidence from the
readings, a clear argument or insight. Merely summarizing (or summarizing and
comparing) the readings is not sufficient; analyze the readings more carefully, and offer
your reader an understanding of them (or of the similarities or differences between them)
that goes beyond what a casual reader would pick up for themselves. By "argument," I
do NOT mean that you should decide whether you agree or disagree with the authors, but
rather a clearly-argued analytical thesis based on close analysis of the texts. Please
consult "Writing History Essays," in the course reader, for suggestions as to how to
construct such a thesis. Reading the grading criteria before starting work on your essay
may be helpful as well.
A clear statement of the thesis of your paper MUST appear in the first three sentences of
your first paragraph. Do not start your essay with background or context; the essay is
about your argument, so state it clearly at the outset.
You should use one of the two standard citation formats in your essay (footnotes or
parenthetical references in the text plus bibliography at the end). Cite the page number in
the original publication, not the course reader.
