=This paper is still due Monday (we need to get this done and move on).=

Reminders: READ EVERYTHING HERE
1) no more than 2 pages (save paper; print on two sides)

2) stake out a position on Henry's amount of growth/maturity and make that your thesis.

3) Treat the plot chronologically and cover the span of time from Henry's earliest days (boyhood dreams) all the way to the last images of the story after the last battle.

4) The more quotes you use, the better. Make your citations brief, and fit them into the syntax of your own sentences.

5) At the ends of sentences in which you quote the story, use simply parentheses and page numbers to format your citations. Like this: (76).

6) Be sure not to inappropriately use outside sources or other persons (tutors, parents, siblings, friends, etc) to assist you in the writing of this paper. Don't read other sources for this assignment, and certainly DO NOT have any sources open while you actually write your paper. Furthermore, do not let other persons write sentences for you nor even suggest words or phrases for you to use. This is not acceptable. As juniors, we fully expect you to understand how to avoid plagiarism. The grade I give you is to evaluate YOUR expression and your effort and your level of proficiency.

Feel free to send me drafts any time before 3 pm Sunday (after that I am unavailable for reading drafts). If you are sick Sunday, I expect to be notified that you are and that this has prevented you from completing any work (VERY sick, in other words). If you are not sick, then I expect your paper to be emailed to me even if you are not in school.
