1. A pro-war writer will show war in a different light than an anti-war writer. Using Owen’s poem and peer-reviewed research from our College’s online library databases, write a multi-paragraph essay that examines what WWI really was like for the young boys on the front lines and compare that to what Owen shows us. (warning: a historical report on WWI will not earn a very high grade. You need to apply what your research says about the war to what Owen shows us in his poem. Combine these things into a fully developed commentary on the poem’s accuracy).
BASIC REQUIREMENTS:
Must have a minimum of 1500 words and must be multi-paragraph essay with no more that 100-150 words of quotes from the sources (primary or secondary).
You must use appropriate college-level vocabulary.
Must be written in 3rd-person (no I, me, or my and no you, your, yourself), 5 points off each.
multi-paragraph
Make your thesis focus on the question in the prompt.
Make your thesis the last sentence of your intro.
Must cite lines from the story or poem (your primary source) in EACH BODY PARAGRAPH.
Must cite at least THREE peer-reviewed articles (your secondary sources) from our library’s online databases IN THE BODY OF YOUR PAPER.
Must use MLA format for the entire paper: heading, page numbers, title, line spacing, in-text citations and works cited page.
Must have a Works Cited page. Include database names in your citations! No database = no credit for the source. It is not my job to track incomplete citations. If your citations are missing vital info: author, article title, journal title, database, they will not count as sources.
I will upload the three peer-reviewed research from my Collage online library.
