Remember: As with all your formal writing assignments (i.e. Paper 1, 2 and 3), do the following:

1. Write three (3) pages minimum, double-spaced.

2. Follow the Paper-Writing Rubric when writing your paper.

3. Compose a thesis (i.e. an argument that you have argue in order to prove).

4. Quote generously from the text to support your claims and prove your thesis.

5. Make your interpretations – not plot summary or historical information – the majority of your paper.
