Your paper MUST be written in the MLA format: double-spaced, 2 1/2-3 pages (550-600 words, NOT INCLUDING THE WORKS CITED PAGE), and written in 12 point font. You must cite your main source (primary source), incorporate and cite ONE (1) secondary source (2 sources ONLY) from the library databases, and adhere to MLA style formatting, including in-text citations and a Works Cited page.

– YOU MUST DO RESEARCH to aid you in writing this assignment, and you must use proper MLA documentation that accurately credits your sources.
-For this assignment, a secondary source is one that discusses or analyzes your chosen story. Many academic journals contain articles that discuss short stories. You must locate your secondary sources from the library databases (such as Gale Literary Databases, Academic Search Complete, Literature Resource Center, Gale Virtual Reference Library).
Secondary sources such as Shmoop, Cliff’s Notes, SparkNotes, enotes.com, bookrags.com, 123helpme.com, Wiki anything, and exampleessays.com and other “compromised sites” ARE ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. Your secondary source must come from an academic journal or published book. Use GALILEO OR A CREDIBLE LITERARY DATABASE (See attached link: https://us-lti.bbcollab.com/recording/92f5d62601cb445e9f8a1fc7395983c8 )
NOTES AND REMINDERS:
-Primary Source: The piece of literature in the anthology textbook you are analyzing is your primary source.
-Secondary Sources: The literary criticism found in the Literary Reference Center in GALILEO is the secondary source. You may use more than two secondary sources, but two (2) secondary sources are the minimum required for this assignment.
– Use MLA FORMAT (Times New Roman 12; double spaced; 1 inch margin; heading; header with last name page number inserted using header function).
– You must use quotations from both the literary selection you are analyzing AND from at least 2 of your 3 secondary sources (minimum). Use correct in-text formatting. Remember that quotations must connect to your words and cannot stand alone in the essay.
– When quoting from a story, you use the author and page number in the parentheses. When quoting poetry, you must use the space/space format between lines of the poem and put the line number in the parentheses.
