Essay FAQ

Avoiding Pitfalls: When writing about
“plot”, do not merely move through every plot point with examples from the
text. Choose three, maybe four significant plot points to analyze in some depth
and use quotes from the text to support your analysis.
A word on paragraph length: This is crucial, writers! This is
a 4 – 5-page paper. The introduction will be one paragraph that is almost
the length of the first page, maybe two or three sentences shorter than
the full page. All paragraphs must be relatively the same length to create
a balanced essay. Body paragraphs
should be just under 1/2 page. A common 5-page paper contains 2 paragraphs
on one page, along with 3 or so sentences of the next paragraph. There must be no 1-page paragraphs in
this paper. The Works Cited
page is on the final page. It is
its own page. (See example below.)
