Crank, by Ellen Hopkins: Response and Analysis 

Paper details Assignment 2: Crank, By Ellen Hopkins Due: Tuesday, June 18 at 11:59 pm This assignment is worth a total of 50 points. You must type your response to the following prompt, it needs to be between 3 to 5 pages double-spaced, and it must be turned in online.The assignment is based on the class text, Crank (but you can also include information from outside sources if you want to). Although the questions ask for your opinion on the subject you MUST include relevant information and citations from this book in order to receive full credit. The citation MUST look like this example: (Hopkins, 2004). An assignment that does not cite from “Crank” and does not cite correctly will not receive full credit. Additionally, make sure you do more than just summarize the book. I’ve read the book, so I know what it says. I want you to take the information you learned from the book, think about the below questions, and provide your fact-based opinion. The book Crank tells the story of a young girl who gets involved in the drug lifestyle. Do you think it is important to consider the stories of individuals who get caught up in the drug lifestyle when debating where and how drugs fit into our society (why or why not)? In addition, if you were a policy maker would you allow the stories of individuals such as the one in Crank to affect drug policies (why or why not)?Remember your paper must be formatted in the following way: Times New Roman font Size 12 1-inch margins No cover page Do NOT put your name on any of the pages in your actual word document (I’m going to blind grade these assignments). I will associate your paper with your name automatically, so you don’t need to write it on the document yourself
