While you must follow APA format, your paper does not require an abstract. Please understand that following APA format in terms of margins, font, citing, referencing, quoting, and the like, is very important and makes up a good portion of your paper's grade. In addition to the APA Guide, the following website should prove valuable to you when writing this paper: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/
