How does Sir Gawain’s characterization highlight the ideal traits of the early medieval warrior? What does his characterization suggest about the values of people in the Early Middle Ages?

– I have already pre wrote and jotted ideas down for the essay. It just need to rearrange in some parts, finished in others. My thesis statement is about Sir Gawain journey being a coming of age voyage for him(please make it sound better). I’ll handle the quotations once the paper is finished.

– here are my teachers’ instructions
1. Formatting Requirements: MLA Format with header and page numbers, 12-point Times New Roman font in black ink, double-spaced, 1” margins – Also, be sure to include a title. You can have fun with it, but it needs to be clear and specific and indicate exactly which poem you are writing about (ex.: “She Sure is Ugly, but She’s My Lady”: An Explication of Shakespeare’s “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun”).
2. No use of 1st person (I, me, my, we, us, our) or 2nd person (you, your) voice.
3. If you perform research and consult secondary sources, you must cite your sources in your essay. You are not required to use secondary sources, but they are not off-limits. If you do choose to incorporate secondary sources, please use only sources that are scholarly in nature. Do not use “study websites” such as Spark Notes or Shmoop.
4. 1 The introduction should introduce the work and the author (if applicable), provide a brief summary of the work, and present the thesis, which should be both argumentative and analytical.
4.2 The body paragraphs should present your analysis of the work itself, and the conclusion should reiterate your analytical argument and signal an overall significance of how your reading of the work contributes to its meaning.
4.3Never begin or end a paragraph with a quote or borrowed material.
4.4 A paragraph should begin with a strong topic sentence and end with a strong concluding sentence.
Literary analysis is always in present tense. If presenting actual historical details, you will use past tense, but otherwise, the essay should be in present tense.

KEYNOTES FROM INSTRUCTOR
You will need to provide a bit of summary in your writing to establish context, but the entirety of your paper should not be a summary.
– Furthermore, you will sometimes need to paraphrase to clarify an idea, but, again, the entirety of your paper should not consist of extensive paraphrasing.
