You will need to find at least three (3) sources of scholarly literary criticism that support your assertion. Make sure that write about all texts using what is termed the “literary present tense.” Do not use either the first or second-person voice in academic writing unless it occurs within a direct quotation. Only the titles of longer works (books, films, TV series, journals, albums, etc.) should be italicized. Underlining is no longer used. Bold font is not required. Your essay’s title (for this class, never title your essay after the assignment itself) needs no special formatting unless it contains the title of another work, which should then be formatted per MLA guidelines. Make sure all papers have an introduction that makes a debatable claim or proposal (your thesis statement), a set of body paragraphs (with each having a single focus), and a conclusion that brings closure to your paper’s interpretative claims. What You Should Not Do A full biography of the author. Any biographical section you include should be the shortest part of the paper, and it should strive to connect events from his or her life to his or her art. A summary of the story, stories, or novel—that is, don’t provide a “book report.” Excessive copied passages/block quotes. Quote sparingly. Paraphrase or summarize instead, and always, however you do it, cite your sources in the essay itself using parenthetical citations that clearly correspond with the works cited entry. A paper consisting of facts that are neither discussed nor analyzed. A paper that discusses the events of a historical period that does not tie these events to the novel. You need to use quoted material from the story or stories that you refer to in order to support and illustrate your exploration of this phenomenon. You also need to use at least three (3) quality outside sources of scholarly literary criticism about the primary source or sources your paper examines. I want you to use the databases provided by the school’s Library, but I am also open to scholarly sources of literary criticism you find in other databases. The quotes, paraphrases, and summaries must be properly documented within the text and on a Works Cited page using the correct current MLA documentation style.
