Please write a four to five-page, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font, size 12, and with one-inch margin paper.

Now that you’ve received feedback on the first two pages of your paper from your TA, you must address any issues and revise your draft. 

Be sure to number your pages at the bottom, right hand corner.

Do not use outside sources.

Every paragraph, with the exception of the introduction and conclusion, should have one quotation or citation from novel to support your argument. Be careful not to overquote, limit one or two short quotes per paragraph. You will be penalized for having too many quotes. Nobody wants to read a paper full of quotes.

Have a topic sentence for every paragraph. A topic sentence informs the reader what you will be addressing in the paragraph.

Use Following Text:

Luis Rodriguez, Always Running: La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A. (East Haven, CT: Curbstone Press, 1993)

Citations:

Please make sure to properly cite sources using MLA style. For example: (Rodríguez, 55). Also, place quotation marks when using direct wording from book. Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism. Each paragraph must have at least one citation, with the exception of the introduction and conclusion.
