The essay is on the book Clothing Poverty. It is not a book report, but an analysis essay like the first essay we did on $2 A Day. For essay 2, you should choose one theme from the book Clothing Poverty. There are many to choose from, so try to pick something that gives you enough to write about but isn't so broad that you can't tackle it in a couple of pages. Choosing the right theme and writing a thesis statement is part of the work. Then proceed to write your essay exploring that theme in the body of the essay.
Topic: Choose a theme from the book Clothing Poverty: The Hidden World of Fast Fashion and Second-hand Clothes (second edition)) by Andrew Brooks.

Mini essays are your chance to analyze and reflect on the topic via your readings. Create a clear thesis statement and craft your essay around supporting and explaining this thesis.
For this essay, you should draw evidence primarily from the book Clothing Poverty.
Your essay should be approximately 600-900 words and should demonstrate that you have completed the book and have engaged in thoughtful consideration of the themes contained within. Essays do not need a title page. They should be single spaced, 12-point font, with a reference list and in-text citations. Students should use ASA or APA style for citations (Links to an external site.). You may also cite any lectures from Dr. Schoen or others we have watched so far this semester.
How to cite a lecture:
Author Last, First Name. (Publication Year). Name or title of lecture [file format goes here, such as PowerPoint or Arc Video]. Retrieved from [insert URL].
Please upload your essay as a Word doc/docx.
