Use MLA format for this typed paper of 4-5 full text pages. If you are unfamiliar with MLA format, check Simon and Schuster Handbook Ch. 31-34 for information, use a library’s reference copy of the MLA Handbook, or go online to the MLA websites available (http://webster.commnet.edu/mla/index.shtml for example). Save all work on disk! The work you choose to research is your primary source. You must cite lines from the primary source in order to supplement your analysis, to show the reader what you are explaining and to help specifically prove your point.You must also include a minimum of 3 additional critical sources. A critical source is one that comments upon or analyzes the text, the specific subject of your paper (be careful here!) and/or the writer’s techniques used in the text. Your textbook is not a critical source, as it presents the work itself for you to read and analyze. On-line sources are acceptable if they are reliable (see Simon and Schuster Handbook for more explanation of determining reliability). Check the JSTOR database for sources as well. It’s a terrific literary database.
