paper

On your last paper, I gave you very detailed feedback and reorganized to show you what I am looking for, but instead you didn't follow my advice and submitted that paper the way you wanted.   You should have a clear introduction in which you introduce your topic and your clear three-point thesis should appear at the end of the introduction.  What three points do you want to focus on for a four-page paper including a Works Cited page? You can't write a concise analysis of a novel in four pages. I asked to choose a short story. After you have three clear points that you can work with : for example, if you were writing on Sweat by Zora Neale Hurston then you could your thesis might look something like this: Hurston's short story is interesting because of the theme, the characterization of Sykes and Delia and the dialect that she uses.   

These three points become body paragraphs that look like this:

    One aspect of Sweat that I liked is the theme of the short story.  (this paragraph is devoted to talking about the theme)

     Moreover, the characterization of Sykes and Delia is interesting (this paragraph is devoted to talking about the characterization)

      Additionally, Hurston uses a Florida based rural dialect that makes the story......... (paragraph is devoted to talking about the dialect)

     In conclusion, this short story.....

This is the set up that I've tried to explain to you all semester.  Your reader should not have to look for your thesis, your paper should be clearly organized so your reader can follow your thoughts, sentences should make sense and you should contact Mrs. Felder Johnson about finding some information in a scholarly database since you didn't attend the Zoom session where she discussed this. 

The term is ending and with it, we all have a lot of work so you should make an appointment with SSRP's writing tutors, take the assignment sheet and ask for assistance.  Every time I look at your draft and try to guide you were to go, my suggestions and detailed feedback are discarded.  You need to work with a writing tutor at this point.  Yes, you can and should resubmit.  But, as long your paper is not following the guidelines, then the grade is going to be low.  That can be amended by following the directives given for a solid essay.
