Research Essay
- MLA, Font: 12 Times New Roman, Double Spaced
- This is 5 pages, 4 full pages of text, works cited on page 5 please.
- There will be an uploaded file which is the article. It is an article from The Story of an Hour. You will read the article and answer the questions that follow from numbers 4-7. It is called The Autonomous Female Self and the Death of Louise Mallard in Kate Chopin’s ‘Story of an Hour.’
- Must have a 1st sentence identifying the author + article. For example, According to “ Blank Blank ”, you know what I mean right.
- First 1- 1/2 to 2 pages: a straight summary–in your own words of the critique (secondary source). So, it’s a 1 page and a half where you will write a summary of the article from secondary sources. There are no “I”; no opinions and no need for direct quotes. You don’t need direct quotes, as what is important is your ability to paraphrase.
- Next 2 to 3 pages is your reaction to the article. In this section, you may use I. You may agree, disagree, or both. However, please remember that you will have to cite 3 or 4 times from the primary source (4 lines or less each time) and use MLA guidelines. This section should begin with I agree…disagree..or both… Please make sure to have 4 full pages of text, or as close to this as possible. In your paragraphs, use direct quotes from primary sources please.
- A works cited page (we saw how the articles already contain the citation) of the article and the primary source (this will be page 5). MLA, basically copy and paste the work cited from the article.
