Use textual evidence to support an original thesis statement designed to answer the enduring understanding/essential questions. The paper should reflect your reasoned judgment about the quality and reliability of sources consulted (i.e., why you emphasize some and not others), a balance of paraphrasing and quoting from sources, original thinking, the anticipation and addressing of questions or counterclaims, and the proper citation of sources. Your teacher may give you the opportunity to share and refine your initial research questions in order to get feedback from your classmates.

In many ways, this is easier than living authentically. Choose two characters that you think are most self-deceptive and explain how their actions, thoughts, and words indicate that they are denying the reality of their respective situations, and thus living inauthentic lives.
