When I grade your papers I will be considering these aspects:

Organization: as above.

Clarity: I should be able to understand you. You should not confuse or mystify me. Remember that I cannot read your mind.

Quotation: Your paper must contain at least 3 quotations, 1 from each story, chosen as support for the point(s) you’re trying to make. These quotations should be correctly done, in context, and demonstrate that you are accurate in your reading of the texts. For more about quoting, go to this link. Or this link

Proofreading and format: The paper should show that you have a command of the customs and conventions of written English.

All papers should be proofread, spell-checked, with your name in the upper left corner, and a title.

At the end of your paper, include a Works Cited list in MLA format.

Use of Sources: You do not have to use any other sources in the paper but the assigned texts and your own thoughts. But if you do use other sources, you must indicate them; when the wording is not your own, you must use quotation marks and cite your sources. Click here for more information: Documenting Internet Sources. Failure to cite sources is plagiarism; this will sink the paper.

Questions: ask questions, if you have them, in the Online Office. Everyone will benefit.

In the short story “Reunion,” Charlie feels that his father is his flesh and blood, his future and his doom. He knows that when he is grown he will be something like his father. He tells us: “I would have to plan my campaigns within his limitations”(Cheever).
