Professor’s tips for the paper:

1. Make an argument about your topic that you make me aware of early in the paper. Include enough close textual analysis and research to support your claims. Provide logical connections between your points, so that your argument progresses rather than simply listing attributes or repeating itself. Awareness of the consequences and stakes of your argument. The paper should answer the questions of “what” is happening in a text, “how” it manifests (through close reading or other evidence), and “why” it matters.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
