Paper on Richard N. Wright

I need a term paper written on Richard Nathaniel Wright.  It should not be a biography.  It needs to discuse his life, influences, beliefs and writigs.

The Term Paper:

 

Write a five page essay focused on the topic of your eight to ten minute oral presentation.

 

Due:  No more than one week (seven calendar days) after delivery of oral presentation

 

Format:

· MLA Format, with heading in upper-left, centered title, in-text citations and a list of Works Cited at the end.  See the MLA section of any recent English handbook for clarification.

· 12 pt. type

· Times New Roman font

· Double-spaced

· 1 inch margins all around

· Essay must have an introduction, sufficient body paragraphs, and a conclusion

 

Possible approaches:

 

· Information about the social, intellectual, and historical contexts for the works and authors assigned in class; interpretation of works

· Introduction to authors, but avoid biographical essays.  I’d rather read analysis of a particular work of literature when possible.

· Discussion of one or more critical works relating to the era

· Background about the social and intellectual connections among certain groups of authors

 

Note that these are broad topics; you must tailor the topic you choose to fit your own interest and the time available.  Extend your research to books, scholarly articles, etc.  Document all sources.

 

Anti-plagiarism measures:

***Turn in all prewriting, completed templates, and rough drafts of the essay with the final draft. 

 

***Turn in photocopies or printouts of sources quoted, with quotations highlighted.
