Requirements: Your paper must be a five-paragraph essay of 2-3 full pages of text plus an additional Works Cited page with just the citation for the story (correct citations shown above). So basically, you will have an introductory paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. You must include a Work Cited page listing the entry for the story you used. You are NOT to use any outside sources in this paper. It is just you and the story. Do quote from the story to support your points, however (at least one good quote per paragraph, but no more than 15% of total length of paper). As an optional part of the assignment, you may submit your finished paper electronically on my Blackboard site. If necessary, we will do an exercise to make sure you know how to do this. In the introduction, you should include (1) the author’s first and last name, (2) the title of the story in quotes, (3) a plan of development statement that breaks down the three things you will discuss in body paragraphs one, two, and three, and (4) the higher purpose the writer is using the strategies to achieve, as in illustrating a certain theme or developing the character.
