Dr. Ann CramerMay, 2014Literary Essay ChecklistDo you have a clear, one-sentence thesis statement? It cannot be a question. It cannot be a statement of fact; it must be an arguable thesis and make a clear assertion about the literature that you have chosen to analyze.Have you formatted your work correctly? MLA format requires double spacing, a heading in the upper left, a title, indented paragraphs, and a Works Cited page. Do not include an APA cover page.Have you given your essay a unique title?Is all your work in third person? Please proofread and look for “I, we, us, you,” and other first and second pronouns. If you find them, remove them and rewrite the sentence.Do you have adequate direct quotations from the text? You should aim at 1-3 per page of your essay.Have you fallen into the trap of giving a plot summary? Remember, your reader has already read the work and wants to hear something new from you.Do any of your paragraphs end on a quotation? Avoid ending paragraphs with a quotation. Instead, sandwich your quotations between an introductory signal phrase and a follow up sentence that comments on the quotation and provides transition to the next paragraph.Are all of your quotations properly cited, with quotation marks and in-text citation? If a quotation is longer than three lines, use a block indent.Have you cited all direct quotations and all paraphrases? If you do not cite quotations and paraphrases, then you have plagiarized.Do your in-text citations match up with your Works Cited citations? You cannot list a source in Works Cited unless you have in-text citation in your paper. Does your in-text citation include an author name and a page number? You cannot use a web site address or web site name as in-text citation.Are you using scholarly sources? Do NOT use dictionary definitions, Sparknotes, Schmoop, Cliff Notes, Answer.com, essay writing services, or any other open web sources.Have you slipped up and used any APA citation? Your work must be in MLA citation format only.Have you checked each citation against a reference source such as the APUS library MLA guide, Diana Hacker, Bedford St Martin, or the Purdue OWL?Have you included both a Works Cited list?Have you given your essay one last proofreading?What is your Turnitin score? If it is higher than 27%, excluding bibliography, it will be returned with the grade of zero.If the essay contains uncited, unoriginal material, it will be returned with the grade of zero. Unintentional plagiarism, where you fail to cite or “forget” to cite, is still plagiarism, and the work will not be accepted.

Compare and contrast the film version of The Great Gatsby with the written version of This Side of Paradise. The 1974 version is available in sections on YouTube, but there is also a 2000 made-for-television version, and of course the 2013 remake. The choice is yours, but keep in mind that you will need a strong debatable thesis to guide this essay. You may want to focus on specific elements, such as comparing two characters or the varying themes.

Final Project

The final project should show evidence of careful and thoughtful development of the subject with attention to appropriate depth and detail. The project should be clear, coherent, and well organized. It should be free of errors that hinder meaning and free of plagiarized material.


You will need to incorporate many aspects of the novel to prove your case. Be sure to look at issues such as imagery, dialect, social and cultural influences, andpoint of view, among others.

Submission Instructions:

Your essays should be in MLA Style and approximately 500-750 words, not including the Work(s) Cited page. As with most academic writing, this essay should be written in third person. Please avoid both first person (I, we, our, etc.) and second person (you, your).

In the upper left-hand corner of the paper, place your name, the professor’s name, the course name, and the due date for the assignment on consecutive lines. Double space your information from your name onward, and don't forget a title. All papers should be in Times New Roman font with 12-point type with one-inch margins all the way around your paper. All paragraph indentations should be indented five spaces (use the tab key) from the left margin. All work is to be left justified. When quoting lines in literature, please research the proper way to cite short stories, plays, or poems.

You should use the online APUS library to look for scholarly sources. Be careful that you don’t create a "cut and paste" paper of information from your various sources. Your ideas are to be new and freshly constructed. Also, take great care not to plagiarize.

In order to be accepted, your essay must score a 27 or lower on the Turnitin report. Any essay with a score higher than that, and any essay containing plagiarism, will be returned graded zero. "Forgetting" to cite is not an excuse for plagiarism.

The grading rubric is attached to this assignment.
