Overview
Write a polished 750 word double spaced essay on:
William
Bradford described the American wilderness as “hideous and desolate,”
full of “wild beasts and wild men.”
He believed the wilderness as a place of trial and testing rather than a
place of ease and plenty – or of social and economic opportunity. Compare and contrast Bradford’s and John
Smith’s views of the American wilderness.
Explain why, in your opinion, will two pioneers perceive the land so
differently? Include direct quotes from Bradford’s and Smith’s literature for
analysis and support.
***To let your instructor know which style of documentation you are using, write current MLA, APA, or Turabian in the title of your essay as follows: Title – Citation style (e.g., “Christians and the Study of Colonial American Literature-APA”).
***Develop a clear thesis
that is grounded in the literature and specifies the titles of the literary
works. Remember that while it is acceptable to include some biographical and
historical information for context, your focus should be on analyzing the
literature.
** 750 words double spaced
** only peer-reviewed sources that are academic integrity such as books or journals….NO www sites!
The essay requires not less than two secondary
sources in addition to your primary sources (the literature you are analyzing).
Before writing your essay, reread your notes and assigned textbook reading(s)
just to refresh your memory. Also, it might be useful to reread a composition
textbook to remind yourself of the guidelines on how to write a clearly-defined
thesis statement, well-developed paragraph(s), and an essay using the current MLA
or APA or Turabian parenthetical method of documentation for your quotations
and any secondary sources you cite. To let your instructor know which style of
documentation you are using, write current MLA, APA, or Turabian in the title
of your essay as follows: Title –
Citation style (e.g., “Christians and the Study of Colonial American
Literature-APA”).
Your two secondary
sources should be academic, peer-reviewed sources, such as articles from
scholarly journals and books.
Websites, such as Lit Charts, Spark Notes,
Shmoop, and so on are not academic sources. Dictionaries, encyclopedias, and
other professors’ notes are likely accurate, but they are not academic
research.
Develop a clear thesis
that is grounded in the literature and specifies the titles of the literary
works. Remember that while it is acceptable to include some biographical and
historical information for context, your focus should be on analyzing the
literature.
