You must use no less than three sources total.
You may use ONLY TWO of the sources I have already provided you; the third must come from your independent research through EBSCO or Google Scholar.
Start by placing your three MLA source citation listings in alphabetical order.  After doing this, create an annotative summary after each one; if done correctly, your bibliography should include the following pieces of information in the following order:
Your St. Raymond’s MLA heading at the top left corner of the page
Your first MLA source citation listing and the annotative summary for that source
Your second MLA source citation listing and the annotative summary for that source
Your third MLA source citation listing and the annotative summary for that source
MLA Source Citation Formatting Guidelines
All citation listings should be single-spaced.
The first line of the source listing is always left-justified on the page; all lines of text after this are single-indented.
The first letter of all significant words (basically words that are not articles or conjunction like and, the, of, a, with, to, it, etc.) are capitalized.
Article titles are always placed in “quotation marks”; the titles of the journals in which they appear are italicized.
Your sources must be placed in ALPHABETICAL ORDER.  When viewing your MLA source citation listings, look at the very first letter in that listing (most commonly the first letter of the author’s last name) and order your sources accordingly.  So, for instance, an article written by Baker, John would be listed before an article written by Ferris, Andy, which would be listed before an article written by Smith, Jane.
At the end of the citation listing, you will need to add three pieces of information on your own: these are viewed date, the media tag, and the full URL for the article itself, the first two of which should have a period at the end of them.
The viewed date is the day you first laid eyes on the article.  This is written out by day/month/year and is formatted as a one- or two-digit number, the three letter abbreviation of the month, and the year.  Basically, if you put 19 Apr. 2024 as your viewed date, you will be fine.
The media tag for all of your sources will be the word Web; this is to indicate that you accessed your sources online.
Lastly, copy and paste the full URL from the PDF link of your article.
Annotation Requirements (Follow this process when annotating each source)
Summarize the information contained in that source.  Specifically, this means:
Explaining the subject of the source (what it’s about).
Explaining what major topics are addressed in the source.
Explain how you will use this information to complete your research paper.  Specifically, this means:
Explaining how the source relates to the purpose of your research paper.
Explaining what major topics or pieces of information you will be using from the source toward fulfilling this purpose.
Each of your annotative summaries should be double-spaced and accomplished in the space of one large or two smaller paragraphs.
Sample attached

This two-part assignment must be labeled as “PART A: Research Proposal” and “PART B: Bibliography”. Submit as one document. 
PART A: Research Proposal
Create your Proposal in a 450-500 word response. Note reminders to assist you in writing your proposal. There is no one format for an essay’s Proposal; do not get lost in Proposals that are for Master’s or Doctoral studies. For your research essay, consider presenting in this format: 
Research Objectives: in one paragraph or in bulleted points, state what the project is aiming to do.
Background Information: in one or two paragraphs or in bulleted format, include background information you have gained about the issue. What is your knowledge thus far on the issue? What have you found out? How does it make you feel?
Methodology: as you begin to determine your stance on the issue, move to build your research method. Determine how you plan to actually research the project. Earlier lessons have moved you through selecting and documenting sources; make sure to do so wisely. But continue to illustrate that you have worked through the best possibilities for your research journey.
Conclude by reiterating what you believe you will uncover and possibly solve.
PART B: Bibliography 
Create your Working and Annotated Bibliographies. There is no defined word-count for this part of the assignment.  
Aim for 8-12 sources for your Working Bibliography 
Create 4-6 summaries for the Annotated Bibliography 
All bibliographical information must be included 
Create a Working Bibliography that lists possibilities that show that you are examining varied literature to gain knowledge on the subject and issue—later to be trimmed or altered.
Create an Annotated Bibliography of selected works from the Working Bibliography; this should be a selection of about half of the Working Bib where you summarize the significance of the authors’ findings; each summary should run 3-5 sentences. 
Guidelines
Use a 12-point font.
Upper left-hand corner—your name, date/unit, (title centered, if you have one), course, professor’s name 
Proof carefully—paragraph development, sentence structure/boundaries, grammar/ punctuation 
Essay is to be written using MLA formatLinks to an external site. (if external sources are used) 
Use double spacing, so there is room for me to write comments.
Include your last name in the filename (example: Unit-1 AS1 Smith.) 
It should be a Word (.doc or .docx) format file.

Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work. 
For this assignment, you are going to develop an argumentative thesis about the similarities and differences of a specific theme found in both Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
Remember that the purpose of this paper is not to just list the similarities and differences between the texts! You must interpret the similarities and differences, and then explain why they are meaningful.
Choose one of the following themes to be your frame of reference for this essay:
Knowledge and Wisdom
Teachers and Students
Love and Relationships
Unity and Nature
Fear and Death
Self-Discovery
Search for Satisfaction
Essay Requirements
Format: MLA  (12-point font, double-spacing, in-text citations, etc.)
Length: 3-4 pages, but no more than 4 (That’s approximately 750-1000 words)
Direct Evidence: At least one quote per body paragraph (but stronger paragraphs will include two quotes, one from each source).

Introduction
Extended Writing Project Prompt and Directions:
For this assignment you will be using argumentative writing techniques to compose your own argumentative literary analysis essay that answers one of the following questions.
Choose one of the following questions and write an argumentative essay that answers your chosen question. You will need to choose at least two readings that will provide support for your paper.
Option 1 from Unit 1:  How much of what happens in our lives do we actually control?
Option 2 from Unit 2:  If rules are put in place to keep us safe, is there ever a time when we should be fighting against them? 
Your argumentative essay should include:
an introduction that
presents a reasonable claim, expressed in a clear thesis statement
names the author and genre of each text you have selected to support your claim
body paragraphs that
present a thorough analysis of your claim
contain textual evidence and details to support your claim
demonstrate a logical organization of ideas
a conclusion paragraph that
restates your thesis statement
effectively wraps up your essay
leaves your reader with a lasting impression, perhaps through an interesting final thought
Introduction to argumentative writing:
Argumentative writing requires a writer to make a claim or take a position on a topic and then to identify, evaluate, and provide textual evidence that offers reasonable support for the claim. Literary analysis is a form of argumentative writing. In a literary analysis, a writer takes a position on one or more works of literature to demonstrate why authors used particular text structures, word choices, ideas, images, or literary devices in their work. Literary analysis is not a summary of the literature. Instead, it is an opportunity for a writer to share his or her personal perspectives, critical thinking, or interpretation of works of literature.
Strong argumentative writing, of which literary analysis is an example, begins with an introductory paragraph that provides a general context for the topic and then presents a reasonably narrow thesis statement that explicitly states the writer’s position on the topic. The body paragraphs of an argumentative piece of writing, such as an essay, are focused on relevant textual details that provide evidence in support of the main idea. Argumentative essays often contain direct quotations, or citations, from the texts being analyzed. The language used must be clear, coherent, formal in tone, and appropriate to its task, purpose, and intended audience. Argumentative essays stay focused on the main idea and claim by using transition words to help create flow and make connections between supporting details and citations. Strong argumentative essays then end with a conclusion that revisits the main point of the thesis statement and synthesizes the evidence that has been provided. The features of argumentative writing include:
an introductory paragraph with a clear thesis statement
a clear and logical organizational structure
supporting details, including valid reasoning and textual evidence, properly cited
effective transitions to show the connections between ideas
a formal style and objective tone
a concluding paragraph that summarizes the analysis and restates the thesis
You have been reading stories and other texts that feature people’s destinies or people breaking the rules. You have also been learning about argumentative writing. Now you will use argumentative writing techniques to compose your own argumentative paper in response to one of the questions below:
Option 1 from Unit 1:  How much of what happens in our lives do we actually control?
Option 2 from Unit 2:  If rules are put in place to keep us safe, is there ever a time when we should be fighting against them? 
Remember that an argumentative paper asks you to make a claim or take a position on a topic and then to identify, evaluate, and provide textual evidence that offers reasonable support for the claim.
Consider this questions in relation to the readings as you begin the process of writing your paper:
Option 1: 
Which readings demonstrate characters having control and which readings demonstrate victims without control?
How is control portrayed within the readings?
What are the results of attempting to fight destiny?
How do the characters react to their fate?
What is the author’s message about destiny?
How does the author convey the message?
Option 2: 
What rules exist in the reading?
How are the rules either challenged or should have been challenged?
What are the reasons it is appropriate to challenge the rules?
What are the results of challenging or not challenging the rules?
What is the author’s message about rules?
How does the author convey the message?
Your argumentative paper must include:
an introduction that
presents a reasonable claim, expressed in a clear thesis statement
names the author and title of each text you have selected to support your claim
body paragraphs that
present a thorough analysis of your claim
contain textual evidence and details to support your claim
demonstrate a logical organization of ideas
a conclusion paragraph that
restates your thesis statement
effectively wraps up your essay
leaves your reader with a lasting impression, perhaps through an interesting final thought
Remember that argumentative writing begins with an introduction and presents a claim in the form of a thesis statement. Body paragraphs develop the claim in the thesis statement with strong supporting reasons, details, quotations, and other relevant information from the texts. Transitions help the reader understand the relationship among the claim, supporting reasons, and evidence. A concluding paragraph summarizes or reflects on the information in the essay and restates the thesis statement to remind readers why the thesis statement is sound and correct.
When drafting your paper, ask yourself these questions:
What is the most important thing I want to say in this essay?
How can I best present the claim in my thesis statement?
What facts, details, and quotations can I draw from the texts to provide strong support for my claims?
Have I taken the time to analyze each piece of evidence I have chosen?
Am I remembering to relate all the evidence to my thesis statement?
Does the evidence I’ve chosen represent a thorough understanding of the texts?
How can I use precise language to present my claims and evidence in a way that is interesting to the reader?
How well have I communicated each writer’s portrayal of a situation that addresses one of the assignment choices?
What do I want my readers to believe or think once they have finished reading my essay?
Now it’s time to edit and proofread your essay to produce a final version. Here are some questions you asked yourself prior to this stage. Review this list once more to ensure that your essay is appropriate to the task and meets the requirements of a literary analysis:
Is my introduction engaging, and does it effectively present my thesis statement?
Have I included strong reasons and sound evidence to support the claim in my thesis statement?
Have I accurately cited the sources from which I have drawn textual evidence, both within the body of my essay and in my Works Cited list?
Does the evidence I have chosen represent the strongest and most relevant support for my claim?
Have I organized my essay so that my body paragraphs each contain a clear main idea and supporting details?
Have I used clear transitions to show the connections between ideas in my essay?
Have I presented the reader with a conclusion that effectively wraps up my essay?
Have I fully proven the validity of my claim to readers?
Have I eliminated any examples of informal language or unobjective tone?
When you are satisfied with your work, move on to proofread it for errors:
Check that you have formatted your essay according to approved guidelines and standards. This includes title page or title placement, margins, font, spacing, paragraphing, bibliographic information, and other technical considerations.
Check your spelling, including names of authors, titles, and characters.
Check sentence structure, including use of compound sentences and parallel structure.
Check punctuation. Look for missing or misplaced commas and confirm that you have used semicolons and colons correctly.
Check that you have used italics correctly.
Check the content and punctuation of quotations and citations.
