from the book The seagull Reader, there is a play called
A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry
the play: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/ta7hwcn8a01j1i2/AAA497Ok0XQ8WJSz3qTpBXEza
required to write an original analysis of a piece of dramatic writing from Raisin in the Sun. Writing an analysis of dramatic writing commonly entails formulating and arguing a thesis that synthesizes a thematic aspect of the writing with a formal one.
For instance, consider the way in which a particular literary device at work in your selected work contributes to conveying a theme or idea there. (Remember that a theme is not merely a topic; rather, a theme expresses an idea about a given topic.) The device and theme you discuss for a particular piece of fiction are yours to choose.
For examples of the literary devices at work in these plays – look to the introduction in our Seagull Reader (the blue book). Specifically, “The Parts of a Play section”: plot, character, spectacle, & symbolism.
the introduction link is this: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/27qqrif23i1owu2/AABlnrNqdQvlH_Wqvza1TYtPa

• identify a literary theme within a text, present a position, and create a specific thesis on that issue and place it at the end of the introduction with red color.
• support their position with credible, varied, and verifiable textual evidence.
• demonstrate an understanding of the complexity of the literary readings by acknowledging that the argument being made does not exclude other possible readings.
• understand that the persona of the writer projects is part of the effectiveness of the argument.
• demonstrate an understanding of the rhetorical situation of their argument.
Characteristics of the Argument Essay
A successful essay
• provides an introduction that creates interest rather than merely presenting background information.
• offers a specific and debatable thesis in the introduction that focuses the essay as argumentation.
• presents an objective stance by the use of the third-person voice.
• includes specific details and textual evidence.
• correctly integrates quotations and conforms to MLA documentation and format guidelines.
==========================================================
Requirements:
paper must contain a thesis ( MARK THE THESIS ON RED COLOR PLEASE ), and that thesis must organize your ideas. A thesis is your claim about a topic – what are you trying to prove in your paper?
Use direct quotes wherever they will help support your ideas. Aim to include at least one direct quote per body paragraph.
Your paper will consist of an introduction (the thesis will be its last sentence), body paragraphs (however many you need), and a conclusion (that brings up a new idea/perspective).
Use the Internet or Strayer online database to research the current health care delivery structures—both private and public—within your state.
Write a 6-8 page paper in which you:
Analyze the current health care delivery structure in your state. Compare and contrast the major determinants of healthcare market power.
Analyze the main competitive forces in the your healthcare delivery system in your state, and compare the major factors that influence the fundamental manner in which these competitive forces determine prices, supply and demand, quality of care, consumerism, and providers’ compensation.
Evaluate the positive benefits and negative aspects, respectively, of HMO managed care from the provider’s point of view—i.e., a physician and a healthcare facility—and from a patient’s point of view. Provide a rationale for your response.
Assess the efficiency of the types of economic incentives available to providers in the delivery of healthcare services in your own state.
Propose who bears the financial risk of a capitation payment system: the provider, the patient, or the consumer-driven health plan itself.
Use at least five (5) current references. Three of these references must be from current peer-reviewed sources to support and substantiate your comments and perspectives.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Explain how selected economic principles apply to the health care market and the provision of health care services.
Analyze the factors that are influencing the demand and supply of health care services in the U.S.
Assess current economic trends that influence the cost, quality, and access to care.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in health economics.
Write clearly and concisely about health economics using proper writing mechanics.
Pick a research topic that is of interest to you. Make certain that the topic is notable enough to locate at least one published article. Some examples of effective topics could relate to: home town, a prominent family member, place of worship, annual (local) cultural event, locally specific profession/interest, or local leader. After you have selected your topic, locate at least one peer-reviewed article about your selected topic’s experience in the years between the world wars (1920-1936) and write a minimum 500 word article discussing the perception of the experience from your topic’s point of view.
Make certain to include the following:
how the return from war, and return to war, affected families and surrounding demographics;

Compensation and Reimbursement Plans
One way in which a MCO can control cost, quality, and access is through various structured compensation and reimbursement plans. The two most common examples are fee for service and capitation. Moreover, there are different types of reimbursement systems for inpatient and outpatient services. Answer the following questions in regard to the above information:
Examine the three types of inpatient or outpatient reimbursement systems?
Evaluate the key advantages and disadvantages of each system from the point of view of a managed care plan and the hospital?
What is the difference between capitation and FFS? Evaluate the type of market appropriate for each reimbursement method. Support your answer by providing an example of an MCO using either of these methods.
What do you understand by the term “UCR”? With what form of reimbursement is this term associated? Search current information from the Internet and evaluate the use of UCR in the managed care industry.
Reimbursement procedures are complex and detailed, especially those associated with government programs such as Medicare. Part of the regulatory requirements of Medicare is to prevent illegal billing practices such as churning, upcoding, and unbundling. You can search these topics by clicking http://oig.hhs.gov. You can also search on federal regulations for reimbursement procedures and fraud and compliance guidelines and education materials.
Based on your research, respond to the following questions:
Review the latest enforcement actions on this website. Identify a case where at least one of the following illegal actions was used—churning, upcoding, and unbundling.
What are some of the specific examples of actions taken against providers engaged in these practices?
After answering the above questions, read the following information:
P4P is a type of compensation method for providers based on evidence-based practices that promote better quality outcomes. Find at least two online sources of information, such as professional associations and government resources, from the South University Online library or the Internet on P4P compensation programs: one in favor of and one against this type of compensation program for providers.
Now, using the readings this week and the information gathered from the above sources:
Explain, in your own words, the negative consequences of P4P program.
Describe the market forces making this type of compensation program popular.
Current Trends and Issues in Managed Care
Compensation and reimbursement models are another method of controlling access, cost, and quality in a managed care environment. An MCO doesn’t have direct control over physicians or hospitals but through contractual agreements that set incentives for meeting agreed-upon standards, it can exert influence.
This week, you are required to write an essay on the following topics:
Managed care hospital reimbursement
Managed care provider reimbursement
Using South University Online library (e.g. CINAHL) or the Internet, review at least two articles for each topic and write a review for each source of information. Use the following guidelines for developing your essay:
Write a summary for each topic tying together the information learned about that topic.
Analyze the market forces that would favor using one reimbursement method over another.
Evaluate the key differences between different types of payment methodologies from the provider and hospital point of view.
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the payment methodologies reviewed from the provider and hospital point of view.
Evaluate new payment methodologies resulting from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and discuss future changes in reimbursement methodologies.
Compare and contrast each article to the information discussed in the course textbook.
Based on your understanding, create a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document that includes the answers to the questions for the above topics.
Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA form.
