In a multi-paragraph essay (1500-1600 words including a Works Cited page in MLA format) define “happiness.” Be sure to formulate a focused, controlling and specific argument, supported with examples from at least three texts we have read and discussed in class.
In your examination of “happiness,” you may want to consider some of the lenses through which experts view “happiness” (spiritual, scientific, philosophical), ways to achieve happiness, some of the obstacles to achieving happiness, and perhaps even what happiness is not.
Be sure to include thoughtful, analytical commentary which helps the reader see the significance of each example as it demonstrates the central argument.
Edit the below final draft essay. Rephrase the argument/use three sources to support the argument with quotes and have supporting detail and to quote more and paraphrase less.
