Carson, I think writing about obsession in Rebecca is a fine topic. But I think you are importing a LOT of assumptions about character, development, how believable a gothic tale is supposed to be, etc that really mucks up what you might write about. I think you need a basic structure here that can ground your interpretation a bit more fully. Start with a basic definition of a “gothic” novel or tale (highlighting, mystery, suspense, the supernatural, whatever you will later use) and then employ a complicating structure, in which you move from expectation to actuality. So here, _Rebecca_ SEEMS to be a mystery story about a haunting woman BUT, as you will show, reveals a complex array of obsessions with the dead Rebecca. Your work might be showing 3 different “Rebecca”‘s in the novel (and in the imagination of three different characters and how those three R’s work with/against each other to show_____________. Filling in that blank with a POINT, not the plot, will be the trick.

This paper will count as 25% of your final grade but this part is the Research Paper and is graded separately. Using sources such as books, articles, specialized encylopedias, films, or whatever else you may find, you are to write a research paper on the history of The People’s Temple.  You are absolutely not to use Wikipedia for this paper and all research should be drawn from materials you find via the Library databases I showed you.  I would also prefer you not use the internet unless you find something valid and useful that ends with .gov, .edu, .org.   Let me also emphasize that the films I asked you to watch have good information in them, but do NOT rely on those for your information.  I want to see a variety of sources used in this paper and you will be penalized if you overuse the films.
I am providing you with a question sheet.  It includes all the questions you need to address in part one of the paper.   This does not mean, in any way, that this paper is in the form of answers.  It simply means this is the information I want to see in the paper and it is up to you to organize it into a cohesive paper.
The basic information about The People’s Temple should be presented. We all know how this ended, but not many people know the history of the temple.  Who was the leader?  How did the Temple get started? Where did it get started?  What was its beliefs?  What kind of people joined?  What did the church do for the community?  What was its progression over the years?  In essence, you are presenting information to someone who knows nothing about The People’s Temple.  You do not need to spend a lot of time on the mass suicide – primarily on the history of the movement.
This paper must be MLA formatted and documented, with in-text parenthetical citations and a formal Works Cited sheet.  This time, MLA is part of the grade and anyone who does NOT document their work will receive an F, so take the technicalities seriously.   
(In no particular order, these are the questions your papers should address, meaning this is the information you need to include.  Use them as a guideline for your research.)
Paper # 3:  The History of the People’s Temple
1.  What was the People’s Temple?
2.  How and where did it start?
3.  Who was the leader of the People’s Temple?
4.  Why did Jones start the People’s Temple?
5.  What were some of the beliefs that guided Jones?  That is, why did he want to create this church?
6.  When and why did he move to California?
7.  What good things did People’s Temple do for the
Community in California?
8.  What did you have to do to be a member?  
9.  What were his masses like?
10.  How did he recruit members?
11.  What did members of the church believe in?
12. Why and how did he get the support of higher ups in       
society?
13.  Why did Jones move his church to Guyana?
14.  What was life like in Jonestown?
15.  Why did Congressman Ryan go there?
16.  What was the end of Jonestown?
The point is that you are presenting an account of the history of this church/cult and also showing me that you can use the sources and weave material together.
No one source should predominate your paper.  I should see a mix of sources used, including material you find in books, articles, films, etc.  that you find through our library databases. You should NOT be using websites for this paper.
In a paper of this length I would expect to see a minimum of four sources, if you use the film, that does not count towards your original source tally.  I want YOU to find material to use in addition to what you choose to use from what I provided. There are many books on this topic which you have access to via the library database and book chapters are good sources of information.
this is the first article because it wouldn’t let me forward the link igave you 3 sources choose another sorce from  that ends with .gov, .edu, .org.  i also gave you a video to watch that does not count as one of the sources  please dont use big words 
Jim Jones, byname of James Warren Jones,  (born May 13, 1931, Crete, near Lynn, Indiana, U.S.—died November 18, 1978, Jonestown, Guyana) was an American cult leader who promised his followers a utopia in the jungles of South America after proclaiming himself messiah of the Peoples Temple, a San Francisco-based evangelist group. He ultimately led his followers into a mass suicide, which left more than 900 dead and came to be known as the Jonestown Massacre (November 18, 1978).
As a young child, Jones became a regular churchgoer, and, after graduating from Butler University, he decided to enter the ministry. In the 1950s and ’60s in Indianapolis, Indiana, Jones gained a reputation as a charismatic churchman who claimed to have psychic powers such as the ability to foretell the future and miraculously heal those who were sick. He was a vocal proponent of racial integration, a position that ran afoul of some church elders. In 1955 he established the Wings of Deliverance, a Pentecostal church that eventually became known as the Peoples Temple. During this time he was noted for his work with the homeless, and in the early 1960s he served as director of Indianapolis’s Human Rights Commission. Fearing a nuclear war, Jones relocated his church to northern California in 1965, first settling near Ukiah and then in San Francisco in 1971.
Following the move, Jones, who adopted the name “the Prophet,” apparently became obsessed with the exercise of power. Before long, he began to face various allegations, most notably that he was illegally diverting the income of cult members to his own use. Amid the mounting accusations, Jones and hundreds of his followers emigrated to Guyana and set up an agricultural commune called Jonestown (1977). As ruler of the sect, Jones confiscated passports and millions of dollars and manipulated his followers with threats of blackmail, beatings, and probable death. He also staged bizarre rehearsals for a ritual mass suicide.

On November 14, 1978, U.S. Rep. Leo Ryan of California arrived in Guyana with a group of reporters and relatives of cultists to conduct an unofficial investigation of alleged abuses. Four days later, as Ryan’s party and 14 defectors from the cult prepared to leave from an airstrip near Jonestown, Jones ordered the group assassinated. However, only Ryan and four others (including three reporters) were killed. Fearing that those who had escaped might bring in authorities, Jones activated his suicide plan. On November 18 he commanded his followers to drink cyanide-adulterated punch, an order that the vast majority of them passively and inexplicably obeyed. Jones himself died of a gunshot wound in the head, possibly self-inflicted. Guyanese troops reached Jonestown the next day, and the death toll of cultists was eventually placed at 913, including 304 who were under the age of 18. (Some death tolls include the five people killed at the airstrip, bringing the total number of deaths to 918).

Essay needs to be edited based off the peer reviews attached. Attached are instructions, both peer reviews, and a original copy.

EXPLANATION OF A SCENE:A scene is the smallest unit of story. Characters come onto the “stage” inonetime and place, and action/dialogue/interaction occurs. As soon as you switch location, time, or point of view, you are switching the scene. Your job is to write ONE scene that lasts roughly three pages.
Every high point in a story must be played out in scene on the page, moment-by-moment in real time. The technique of slowing things down forces the stakes in a story ever higher. At the same time, the stakes also rise for the writer. Many beginning writers hide from the pressure of creating scenes by relying on summary. These same writers hold the mistaken belief that they can control things better by “telling” what happens rather than by “showing” what happens in a scene. Consider, instead, the idea that by breaking down each scene to its smallest parts you retain control.
Essential Element #1: Time and Place
The first layer of every scene deals with time and setting. Often this layer is implied or understood from the scenes and summaries that precede it. Either way, be sure to ground your readers in the “where” and “when” of the scene. The last thing you want is for your reader to awaken from the dream you have so carefully crafted due to disorientation or confusion.
In the scene from Ava’s Man, the time is established in the earlier part of the scene – “They were getting ready for supper just a few weeks later when”
Essential Element #2: Character Emotional Development
If conflict, tension and suspense drive the reader to turn the page or send the viewer to the edge of her seat, the character emotional development motivates them. Readers read stories and viewers go to the movies to learn about a character’s emotional development. The word development implies growth or change. Therefore character becomes a layer.
Essential Element #3: Goal
The protagonist has a long-term goal for the duration of the story and smaller goals for every scene. They may or may not reach the scene goal by scene’s end, but viewers and readers who know what is at stake for the character are more apt to cheer for the character’s successes and mourn his failures.
Essential Element #4: Dramatic Action
Dramatic action that unfolds moment-by-moment on the page makes up the next layer of scene.
Essential Element #5: Conflict
Embedded within dramatic action lies a layer or two of conflict, tension and/or suspense. The conflict does not have to be overt, but it must be present in some form. Fill a scene with tension or suspense or something unknown lurking in the shadows and you have yourself an exciting story. Remember that setbacks and failure create suspense, conflict and tension, not success or good news.
Essential Element #6: Emotional Change
Just as the action in every scene affects the overall emotional growth of your characters as a reflection of the entire work, the action also affects your characters emotional state at the scene level. In other words, the character’s mood changes because of what is said or done in that specific scene.
Essential Element #7: Thematic Significance
Thematic significance not only creates mood, it also creates the final layer of scene and the overall spirit of your story. Your reason for writing the story, what you want your readers to take away from having read it holds the key to your theme. When the details you use in scene support the thematic significance you have an intricately layered scene that provides meaning and depth to the overall plot.
Remember to include proper dialogue format, setting elements, characterization, and anything else on the Starkey Checklists for fiction.
BUILDING AND LAYERING A SCENE:
I think you can tell the sophistication of an author by the amount of layering going into a scene. We don’t want too little or too much…there’s a subtle balance to find. (I know there are tons of articles about this on the internet and I think the most important thing to remember is to find what works for you.) Some people layer as they go, others write a scene and then go back later to layer it.
Layering helps to REVEAL your characters. 
So what is layering? It’s adding the texture, the personality to the scene, and personality to your characters. To build and layer a scene, there are seven things to think about adding. 
1)   Dialogue. What your character says…or doesn’t say is where a scene starts. The interaction, how characters relate to each other verbally shows so much about them. Do they watch their words? Are they brutally honest? Do their actions and reactions seem in line with the actual words? But then we need more, or all we have is a couple of talking heads.
2)  Action. Action breaks up the dialogue. What types of action might your character be doing while she’s telling her ex-boyfriend to jump off a cliff? Maybe she’s reaching for a bat, which might hint to the reader that she’s got a bit of a temper. Or maybe she’s inching away, which hints to the reader that maybe the guy’s a bad guy…and hits. 
Or…maybe she’s sliding into a fighting stance, subtly and naturally. Showing the reader that this guy may hit…and this gal knows how to fight.
Make the action a natural one for your character. 
3)  Reaction. We all react differently to situations. So will your characters…internally and in dialogue. If a guy comes at me with a bat, I’d probably hold up my hands and try to talk him out of smacking me. NOT the best defense. But my kick-ass heroine..well now. She’d go for the jugular. (I need to take a karate class, I think.)
4)  Emotions. What are they? Characters can feel more than one emotion at a time…someone dumping their boyfriend might feel both relief and sadness. And our bodies react to emotions. What’s fun, is often the dialogue completely contradicts the emotions. Our heroine needs to keep her chin up, after all.
5)Senses. Use them all. But here’s a key: notice only what your character would notice. If your hero is color blind, there’s no reason to describe the sparkling blue of the heroine’s eyes. He can’t see that. He can see her lush hips, tilted chin…etc. And smell her natural lilac scent.
6)  Setting/Atmosphere. Same thing here…your character might see a room differently than you do. I walk into my husband’s den, and I see it needs to be vacuumed and I left my favorite socks on the couch. He would see the pillows goofed up on the couch and know I let the dogs in and didn’t watch them. One of his buddies might walk in and let out a whistle at the ridiculously large television. A Broncos fan would walk in and snarl at all the Oakland Raider goodies. I don’t even see that stuff. You reveal your character by what they see, hear, smell…
7)  Backstory. If you’ve done it right, numbers 1-6 have created your backstory for you. There’s no big info dump needed…you’ve spread it throughout. For example, my heroine walks into my home office. She immediately spots the fairy figurine on the desk, reminding her of the one her boyfriend Joe won at their small town’s fair last year. (Oh yeah, a bit of backstory WHILE the setting is being described.)  
To sum up: Layer to round out your scene so the reader might as well be your character. Don’t layer to: Add word count…or describe a room. Your reader doesn’t care what the room looks likes. Your reader cares about what the room means to the character…and what he or she sees. And how what they notice reveals more about them.
