Wai-Hung Wong gives his account of how we view lives as meaningful, he specifically describes the idea of a “biographical life”. Do you agree or disagree with the parameters he gives his account? Present your own view while engaging with the argument in the reading. If you completely agree with his view, defend it against a strong objection.
– You may use direct quotes from the text provided that they are short and cited. Please do not saturate your paper with quotations. (When in doubt, summarize and cite)
How it should be written:
This paper should be 3-5 pages double spaced in 12pt Times New Roman font. (Your paper may be shorter, content is more important than length)
You must use MLA or Chicago style for your citations. (See Purdue OWL in the “Paper Help” tab/folder for guides)
You must cite your primary source(s). Quotations should be short and cited. Again, please do not saturate your paper with quotations.
Secondary sources should be scholarly and peer-reviewed. Examples from film, literature, and so forth are also acceptable.
– An “A” paper should fulfill the assignment requirements and be without any significant errors. Be as clear and concise as possible. Imagine your audience is a 10-year-old kid with a great vocabulary, explain the argument and how it works fully in a way that would make sense to them. Your thesis statement should be in your introductory paragraph–if you cut to the chase early, your reader will be able to follow what you are saying/ what evidence you are providing more easily.
