- Length: between 1000 – 1500 words.
- Come up with an
interesting title for your book analysis. - You are to examine the
book from the point of view of how well it conveys the experiences of a
Canadian infantry officer in the Second World War, 1939-1945. - Use formal English, 12-point
type, and double-space your finished copy. - Be sure to illustrate your review with at least two quotations
from the book. (Single space and indent quotations more than one sentence
long.) - Footnote your quotations using Chicago style footnotes. Be sure to include the page number! Note – The first footnote should be in full Chicago style, the
subsequent footnotes should be shortened, but include page numbers.[1] - Use the simple Chicago
style guide that is on the Moodle site for this class. Put your
footnote numbers after the periods![2] - You should tell what
happens in the book and then focus on the aspects of the book that you
felt were the most compelling to you. - Please comment on the Canadian
aspects of this book. - Do not write a summary of
the Second World War but do write about Mowat’s book in a way that
indicates that you have read it. - Put a cover page on your review
with your review title, your name, your student number, your course and
section number, the date submitted, the word count, and your professor’s
name (Prof. Howard Hisdal). - Please note that Mowat’s
book is non-fiction; it is not a novel,
which is a work of fiction. Farley
Mowat fought in the Second World War, and it changed him forever in many
ways. - Do not use AI.

Note: Since this essay is a book analysis, only one

comes after the footnotes at the end of your essay.
