Don’t forget that each source needs to have an in-text citation (quote). That means you will have at least 4 quotes – one per source. However, you can have more than one quote per source. Just watch out for the similarity. Also, a documented summary is an acceptable in-text citation.
*No quotes over 4 lines. They have a different format in MLA and and essay of this size doesn’t warrant long quotations.
*Make sure your sources are reputable (for instance use the library databases).
Also, at least 3 of the sources should be outside sources (this means outside of the assigned readings).
Suggested Topics:
*The paper must be a literary analysis covering one or more of the assigned works.
Please note – you cannot write on the same story that you chose for Essay #1 or Essay #2
