2 Pages (or more) Essay EACH- Need tomorrow at 8 in the morning (2 different essays on the same topic)

I need 2 DIFFERENT ESSAYS ON THE SAME PROMPT. What I mean is this, this essay is for my friend and I, therefore, the writer would produce 2 different works on two different files, with two different writing styles and two different citations sources. PLEASE NOTE THAT APSA IS THE CITATION STYLE REQUIRED AND NOT APA.

 

First, NO PLAGIARISM- I will pay for and check out for plagiarism. Essay must be well written without grammatical error, and finally, you must use CORRECT APSA citation both for in-text and the Reference page. In all, please follow the Rubric For Both Writing Prompts
: that appears at the end of this page. Thanks
