For this essay, you do not need to incorporate outside sources—I am primarily interested in your ability to construct your own perspective on the text and argue for it persuasively. However, I do encourage you to quote the reading in question to help ground your argument and make its claims more concrete. Since this paper is only 1500 to 2000 words, be cautious with your quoting, and papers that over-rely on quotes will struggle—remember that it is your writing and analysis I am evaluating, not a philosopher’s. Make sure to use MLA formatting for your paper, but if nothing else: double-spaced, 12pt. Times New Roman.
