The novel is Hector Tobar’s “The Tattooed Soldier”. My vision is to make an argument about how the manipulation of mankind as it is historically presentedin the novel is relatable to the manipulation we see in American Society today by government, schools..etc. I must cite this novel, as well as 1 other academic source. It has to be 3-4 pages double spaced, MLA format with 1 inch margins. My professor is looking for a strong thesis as well as a bibliography page.Response Paper Guidelines
Each Response Paper Final Draft must be a minimum of 3-pages and a max of 4 pages. For each
response paper, students will choose a topic and text from the course reading list up until the day
the rough draft is due. Essays must include a clear thesis and should address the text’s historical
context but focus mostly on a critical analysis of the topic.
Format: Responses should be in MLA style, 12 point Times New Roman font, double- spaced
with a one-inch margin.
Submit: Students must submit their rough drafts online (2-page minimum). For the final draft,
submit online before class time and bring a hard copy to class.
Papers will be graded for organization, clarity, argument, bibliography and grammar.
*Bibliography-Final Drafts must include at least one primary source and at least 1 secondary
academic source. (Except for Response Paper #1, 2 sources required, at least 1 outside source)
