- The final paper is over: The Things They Carried. Just so you know, I used italics for the title, as you should. Remember, all titles are written in italics (slanties).
- You must have at least five (5) sources to support your claim(s). The sources will come from library databases, not the Internet. If you need help remembering, I will show you how to access the sources in class.
- You should pick a central theme from Chapter One (1) of The Things They Carried and explain your stance. For example, do you think Lieutenant Jimmy Cross is a good (or bad) leader? If so, your thesis statement will look like this: “Lieutenant Jimmy Cross is a good (or bad) leader because ********, *******, and *******.” Your thesis will have the word ‘because’ to show your stance.
- The paper will have at least five (5) paragraphs: an Introduction, three (3) body paragraphs, and a conclusion. It will also have a Works Cited page, the last page.
- Do not forget your in-text citations. You cannot have an in-text citation in the introduction and conclusion paragraph, and you cannot use a source (in-text citation) until the third (3rd) paragraph.
- Yes, you can use the sources from the Sources assignment.
- Finally, you will look at The Things They Carried and find a theme. One theme might be Lieutenant Jimmy Cross’s leadership.
- Also, if you want to compare and contrast mental illness in The Things They Carried and The Tell-Tale Heart, I do not mind.
- The paper’s last page is the Works Cited page, where you list your sources (just like the sources assignment).
- I do not have a word count or a page count.
