Context and Audience
To help give your essay a sense of purpose, imagine your high school has invited you to give a formal speech
about Asian American history. The organizers have asked you to share your knowledge of Asian American history
with students who are largely unfamiliar with the subject matter. Think of your essay as the equivalent of this
speech in which you seek to persuade or convince your audience to think differently about the subject matter
based on your own argument or perspective on an aspect of Asian American history provided by the prompt
below. Please remember you are composing an essay for this assignment, not an actual speech, and so your essay
should not contain any introductory or concluding remarks associated with the setting of an actual speech at your
former high school.
Essay Prompt
What do you think is the significance of war in Asian American history? For this essay assignment, identify,
explain, and analyze specific ways in which war has shaped or impacted the historical experiences of Asian
Americans. Develop a focused, specific argument/thesis in response to this prompt and draw from relevant
evidence from ASA 1 course readings and lectures this quarter to support your argument. In your response to
the prompt, be sure to be clear in identifying which specific war (focus on only one specific
war) and the particular Asian ethnic group(s) experiences that you choose to write about and
analyze in your essay. Your paper must demonstrate a strong understanding of major issues, themes, and/or
concepts from this course. Make sure you are specific and focused in your ideas and use of course materials.
Your body of evidence MUST draw from at least THREE ASA 1 course readings assigned between
Week 5 (Nov. 3) and Week 10 (Dec. 10).
Assignment Tasks and Requirements
Based on the prompt below, compose an analytical essay (4 to 5 pages/1000-1250 words).

readings, and discussions presented this quarter. The use of any examples or evidence
outside of this course is NOT permissible. Failure to abide by this requirement will result
in major points deducted from your paper grade.

7) All papers MUST be submitted online through the Canvas course site by 5PM Wednesday
December 16. All late papers will be graded down one half grade every passing day.
8) Follow writing guidelines provided below
Writing Guidelines
1. Take a position. Construct a focused, specific thesis statement or question containing a single main idea. It
can be in the form of a question, which then you will seek to answer by looking at various materials we’ve
used in the class. Or it can be a statement, which you will then substantiate and defend with readings.
2. State your position within the first paragraph of your paper. Let your readers know early what the central
point or idea will be. This thesis statement will also help you maintain unity in your paper, and help you
decide which details to include. As you write, refer to your thesis statement from time to time to see if you
have drifted away from your main idea. But don’t hesitate to revise your thesis if you find yourself writing on
something other than your original statement.
3. Keep your topic focused and narrow. The broader your topic, the less manageable it will be.
4. Develop your argument logically. Begin paragraphs with a strong, clear topic sentence and try to end each
paragraph with a concluding one. Let your reader know what will be covered in the body of the paragraph.
Each paragraph should explore only one point. Think about how each paragraph relates to one another, and
write the topic and concluding sentences as transitions.
5. Write simply and concisely. Clarity is extremely important.
6. Support your assertions with evidence. Be as specific as possible. Avoid generalizations.
7. Always cite an author when using his or her ideas, and when quoting from the work. If you use quotations,
remember to introduce them first. (For instance, As Sucheng Chan states, “quotation” and then cite the
quotation.) Always to provide your analysis of quotes, or remind the reader how they support your
assertions. REMEMBER your evidence never speaks for itself! Also, avoid the use of extended block quotes.
8. Run spell-check and proofread.

Summary:
This handout contains information on The Chicago Manual of Style method of document formatting
and citation.
In the Chicago NB system, you should include a note (endnote or footnote) each time you use a source,
whether through a direct quote or through a paraphrase or summary. Footnotes will be added at the end
of the page on which the source is referenced, and endnotes will be compiled at the end of each chapter
or at the end of the entire document.
In either case, a superscript number corresponding to a note with the bibliographic information for that
source should be placed in the text following the end of the sentence or clause in which the source is
referenced. USE FOOTNOTE/ENDNOTE FUNCTION IN YOUR WORD PROCESSOR AS
EXPLAINED BELOW. DO NOT USE IN TEXT APA OR MLA CITATION STYLES.
Here are general examples of how to cite sources for your papers based on Chicago Manual of Style.
Books:
Footnote or endnote:
First name Last name, Title of Book (Place of publication: Publisher, Year of publication), pp. **.
Examples:
Milton Murayama, All I Asking for is my Body (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 1994), p. *
Articles and Book Chapters (secondary sources):
Footnote or Endnote:
First name Last name, “Title of Article” (ASA 1 Coursepack Reader, Fall Quarter 2020), pp. **.
Example:
Ronald Takaki, “Native and Asian Labor in the Colonization of Hawai’i” (ASA 1 Coursepack Reader,
Spring Quarter 2019), p. 61.
Primary Source Materials:
Footnote or Endnote:
First name Last name (if provided), “Title of Document” (ASA 1 Coursepack Reader, Spring Quarter
2019), pp., **.
Example:
“Foreign Experts Stress Optimism for Agriculture in Hawai’i, 1850” (ASA 1 Coursepack Reader, Fall
Quarter 2020), p. 57.

Using Your Word Processing Program’s “Insert Footnote” Function
Most, if not all, word processing programs have an automatic function for inserting a footnote/endnote.
It is important to learn how to do this in your word processing system. This will save time and will
guarantee that the footnote reference mark (the superscript in the text), footnote numbering, and the
footnote/endnote placement are consistent. Do not try to insert footnotes manually by typing numbers
and guessing where to place the footnotes should go at the bottom since errors will creep into your
writing.
For example, here are the instructions for Inserting a Footnote or an Endnote in Microsoft Word 2003:
1. In print layout view (print layout view: A view of a document or other object as it will appear when
you print it. For example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in their
actual positions.), click where you want to insert the note reference mark:
• On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Footnote.
• Click Footnotes or Endnotes.
2. By default, Word places footnotes at the end of each page and endnotes at the end of the document.
You can change the placement of footnotes and endnotes by making a selection in the Footnotes or
Endnotes box.
• In the Number format box, click the format you want.
• Click Insert.
3. Word inserts the note number and places the insertion point next to the note number.
• Type the note text.
• Scroll to your place in the document and continue typing.
4. As you insert additional footnotes or endnotes in the document, Word automatically applies the
correct number format.
5. When you add, delete, or move notes that are automatically numbered, Word renumbers the footnote
and endnote reference marks (note reference mark: A number, character, or combination of characters
that indicates that additional information is contained in a footnote or endnote.
6. You can view and edit footnotes and endnotes in your word processing system using the Footnote
function in the View menu. This will open a window below your text with all your footnotes. You can
scroll through and edit all your footnotes as you work.
