General Project 2 advice:
- Your intro paragraph does not need to be a discussion of the value of covers. You can begin by discussing, for instance, the central issues and themes of the novel in a way that helps contextualize your argument in the paper
- Citations: do not use EasyBib. It’s easy to accidentally cite book reviews or conference proceedings rather than the formal publication info. Use the first page of the articles provided, and for books (if it’s missing from the scan), check the copyright page or “about this book” info on Google Books
- Your Works Cited should also include the novel you’re analyzing (cite the proper editions based on the cover info you have)
- Pay attention to authors: some of the sources are scanned from whole books–I give you the book title but the chapter title is in the text itself. That’s the author you want to cite.
- Include the images you’re analyzing at the end of the paper (after the Works Cited list)
- Male/female: remember that in standard academic English these words are adjectives, not nouns: e.g. “a male lion” or “a female specimen.” The only way to use “male/female” as nouns are as objects (not subjects) of a clause: “This individual presents as male.” When referring to human agents in our analysis, the noun is “woman/women” and “man/men.”
