Important Instructions for this assignment
1. Revise, edit, and proofread your paper several times before submitting it. Pay attention to your organization, grammar, and punctuation. Work on your sentence structure and vocabulary to strengthen your prose. Construct a clear argument in support of your thesis through clear topic paragraphs. Work on your introduction and your conclusion so that they are compelling and clearly state your claim. Do NOT repeat the language of your introduction in your conclusion. Use quotations with MLA in-text citation from the text to support your argument.
2. Write in the third-person voice; don’t use the first-person (I, me) or second person (you, your).
3. We write about literature in the present tense. For example: “Due writes,” not “Due wrote”
4. The titles of short stories appear in quotation marks and are not italicized.
5. After you use the author’s full name in your introduction, use only the last name thereafter. 6. Do not use outside criticism/articles/AI/sources for this paper. See the syllabus plagiarism policy.
8. Introduce quotations with introductory phrases and integrate quotations smoothly and grammatically into sentences. Do not begin a sentence with a quotation. Do not identify page numbers as part of your prose/introductory phrase; use MLA in-text parenthetical citations for quotations.
9. Do not summarize the plot; this is an analysis, so do not ‘retell’ the story.
