Write and turn in a polished essay based on The Deep River by Bessie Head. Use MLA style throughout in Times New Roman 12, 8 pages (3000 words).
- Make sure you have a thesis near the end of your introduction.
- Stick with third-person throughout your text (no I, you, we, us, etc.).
- Include a standard MLA heading and headers.
- Double-space everything.
- Quote and cite from each source at least once within your text. Sources include theliterature we’ve read (each item is a separate entry) and any outside sources you decide touse.
- List each source in the works-cited section at the end (no works cited = very, very lowgrade!).You should also look at the “Extra Guidelines for Essay Writing” and the MLA Style guide from my Spectrum site. Your paper will be graded based on the originality, clarity, and logic of your argument. I’ll be looking for a clearly defined, arguable thesis and logical organization of paragraph structures. In working on your thesis, think of how you would respond if you presented your thesis to someone, and that person asked, “So what?” Also, remember that spelling, punctuation, grammar, and mechanics count as part of your grade.
