Format and Guidelines
1. The essay must be a minimum of 350 words; you should shoot for closer to 500 words.
2. Use a specific and evocative academic title. Please see the OWL MLA site for a model of your front page, with identifying matter on it.
3. Double space your essay, and indent the first line of each new paragraph. Use 10-12 point font and oneinch margins.
4. Include a Works Cited page for the story and textbook.
5. At the end of any sentence that includes a “direct quotation,” place the author’s last name and page number in parentheses as I do in this sentence (Chopin 115). Note the following: The page number appears at the end of the sentence or a pause in the sentence, not necessarily directly after the quotation. A space appears before the page number. The period appears after the page number. If the sentence ends with a direct quotation, place the closing quotation mark and a space before the page number.
6. Avoid first-person pronouns (e.g. “I,” “we”) and second-person pronouns (e.g. “you,” “your”).
