Compare and contrast the renaissance and medieval periods

Topic: Compare and contrast society during the early Renaissance in Europe to contemporary society

Please follow instructions as follow. Attached are 2 documents, 1 is a the first draft submitted (7 pages) and the other is the corrections professor made on that draft.

This final paper should be 9-10 pages, (there is already 7 pages written, just need to add 2 more pages and make corrections following professor recommendations) and use 5 academic resources. It must be impeccably cited and formatted. End references are required, and APA (except for the cover page--not required) should be followed. IMPORTANT: Please note that the final essay has a length requirement of 9-10 pages--a greater length than the 5-7 pages required in the Week Six Draft. Please note that this minimum requirement is for nine full pages and this total does not include your cover or reference pages. (Keep in mind that a "full page" is a page entirely covered in text; therefore, a paper with eight and one half pages of text would not meet the nine page minimum requirement. Similarly, an essay that occupies nine full pages but includes charts, tables, and/or images within the body of the paper would not meet the nine page minimum requirement. Finally, I encourage everyone to take full advantage of the ten page limit to fully develop and detail his or her essay.)

Here are some additional reminders:

--Your essay must be written in third person--NOT first person.

--Your thesis statement should be posited as the final sentence of your introductory paragraph.

--Nine pages is the minimum length requirement for this assignment; however, essays of only nine pages often lack depth and development. I suggest that you take full advantage of the ten page limit to fully detail and develop your essay and fully explore your topic.

--This is not an expository essay, therefore you must do more than simply provide information--you must argue in support of your thesis.

--This is a college level essay. It must be properly formatted in accordance with APA guidelines; it must be free from errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. It must be fully documented in accordance with APA requirements for documenting research--including appropriate in-text citations and reference page.
