Instructions:

Provide direct quotes and paraphrases in your paper to support or illustrate your points. The use of extended quotes (four lines or more) should be highly limited. It is much better to find the essential information in a quote and to cite only that. If you need the source material that surrounds the quote, paraphrase the material that introduces the quote. If you find that you must use an extended quote, be sure that it is essential to supporting your thesis. For a short paper like this, one extended quote should be all that you use.

Remember to introduce the quote or paraphrase, state it, then analyze it and show how the quote supports your thesis. The critical commentary you provide after the quote is what makes your analysis. Strive to create critical comments that provide your insight into the quote and show how the quote proves your thesis.

Your essay will follow MLA 8th edition guidelines for citations and formatting, and you need a works cited page. In a 400-level class, the works cited page is expected to be perfect. If you have a question about MLA formatting, please ask me. Don’t look up stuff from the internet. Do not plagiarize.
