Directions – Your 3-4 page paper should be based on only primary sources (from the reading itself). Your paper should be based only on the readings on your
syllabus –the sections and chapters that we have discussed in class.
Please be sure to have a clear thesis statement that will allow you to analyze evidence from the work itself. You do not need a cover page. When citing
quotations from the work, you should either paraphrase the exact words of the author or speaker (put into your own words); or if you decide to keep the exact
quote, you should supply the page it is from. For example, if you write, Douglass wrote – “Of all the slave masters I have had, those professing religion are the
worst” (350). All you need to do is supply the page number, as I have done.
