Week 5 Project

Well done with discussing the themes in paper. You have a clearly state thesis in the second paragraph, which although not where most readers will expect to find it, seems to work in this case.  The first paragraph could use a concluding statement to bring the focus back to your main point, however, so consider adding a sentence to the end of the paragraph that moves the focus from what happened with the quilts to the themes.

You introduce the story well in your first paragraph, by mentioning the author and title. When using the title of the story in sentence, the title of the story should be in quotation marks, however. Note that later in the paper when the title is used again, it should have quotation marks around it instead of being in italics. 

I think your discussion of the various themes is excellent. The third paragraph is rather long, though, so consider dividing it. Also, and this is really my main suggestion for the final draft, the last paragraph addresses the theme of family, so technically it is a body paragraph, and another paragraph should be added to the end of the paper to serve as a separate conclusion. 

For the citation tags, add the para. number after the For the sources on the references page, use sentence case for the article titles (capitalize just the first word of main and sub-titles, as well as any proper nouns. Note that the story title, since it's a short story, should not be in italics.
