Purpose and audience

Your purpose is to present an analytical argument about the selected topic that provides supporting 

textual evidence from a primary source (the novel), and your audience is the academic community. 

Because academic writing should be as objective and impersonal as possible, avoid personal statements

providing proper in-text citations of any uses of source material--no Works Cited page is needed.

Format

The final essay must be at least 750 words in length (not counting headers) and must be submitted as a 

Microsoft Word document. All essays must follow the conventions of formal academic writing in MLA 

style: double spacing, a standard font, 12 pt font size, and standard margins. Students must include the 

following information in the upper left-hand corner of the first page:
