INSTRUCTION FOR THE PAPER
Part of writing an effective
analytical research paper involves using evidence not only from the literature
(primary sources) but from the works of professional academic research
(secondary sources). Therefore, you will need to be able to properly locate,
analyze, and evaluate scholarly sources. This activity will help you build
these research skills.
For this assignment, choose a scholarly critical article
from one of the GMC Library databases that makes a clear
argument about any one of the stories you’ve read for class so far. The article
you choose must provide more than basic biographical information and plot
summary alone- it must make an opinionated argument about some
aspect of the literary work you’ve read for class. Please summarize the
article’s main ideas, then evaluate your
article’s merits– is the author’s thesis interesting? Did you agree with its
ideas? Did the author do an effective job proving their argument- why or why
not?
Your complete summary/evaluation should be at least
300 words in length and fully address all requirements.
Structure:
Clearly identify the author’s thesis and main points in a brief summary
of the article.
You should then provide an evaluation of these main points and
explain how this article’s argument is relevant or convincing to you (or
not), and why.
MLA Style:
Your paper must be formatted according to MLA format (this includes
having a header, double spacing, etc.)
All quotations and paraphrases must be cited using MLA style.
Include in this analysis a QUOTE and a PARAPHRASE from the article,
with appropriate in-text citations.
Include a works-cited page at the end of your paper that cites your
chosen article.
Stories Read So Far:
The Aeneid (read books 1, 2, 4, and 6 only – I, II,
IV, VI)
Sun Tzu – The Art of War (chapters 1-3, 6-8, 13)
Plato – “Allegory of the Cave”
The Epic of Gilgamesh
