For this project, you will make the case that \u201cA Good Man is Hard to Find,\u201d \u201cA Rose for Emily,\u201d and \u201cGood Country People\u201d are examples of Southern Gothic literature by your own original analysis as well as the skillful and accurate incorporation of required research sources. The demonstrated ability to use MLA 8th edition formatting and documentation style is as important to the project grade as the content of the essay, so make sure to pay equal attention to both. Name two or three characteristics of SGL found in each work, cite examples of the stated SGL characteristics from the primary sources themselves (required short stories) as well as evidence citations from the required list of secondary sources provided on this document. Specifically, you will be answering the following research questions based upon this topic: <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\uf06e\tWhat are the defining characteristics of southern gothic literature?\n<\/div>\n
\uf06e\tHow does \u201cA Good Man is Hard to Find\u201d qualify as southern gothic literature?\n<\/div>\n
\uf06e\tHow does \u201cGood Country People\u201d qualify as southern gothic literature?\n<\/div>\n
\uf06e\tHow does \u201cA Rose for Emily\u201d qualify as southern gothic literature?\n<\/div>\n
As stated above, each section on the individual short stories should be organized around naming two or three characteristics of SGL found in each work and citing evidence from both the approved primary and secondary sources to support each.\n<\/div>\n
You will organize your research paper around the answers to these questions. Your research project will be 1500-1800 words. You are required to use and cite the sources (Your citations MUST include accurate page numbers from the pdf version of the article\u2014not html) that are listed on this assignment sheet and linked in Library Guides on the CTC website, using a minimum of 5 secondary sources and 3 primary sources. You may not use any other sources. Sources such as encyclopedias and Sparknotes are not permitted. Doing so will jeopardize your grade. You will be required to read several pre-selected articles, book chapters, and web sites. All of the required resources that you will use for this project are available online via GALILEO, web sites, or CTCs library guides. The paper must follow all of the conventions of MLA formatting including double spacing. Failure to include the required documented research in this essay will result in a grade of 0.\n<\/div>\n
Remember: Any source that you place on your works cited page must be cited in the paper and any source cited in the paper must be found on the works cited page. Not doing so is an indicator of plagiarism and will seriously jeopardize your grade. You must include the page numbers of your sources when you cite them within your paper (Oliver 56). The page numbers cited in the paper must match those listed on the works cited page. Omitting these page numbers or using page numbers that do not match those listed on the works cited page will negatively impact your grade.\n<\/div>\n
You will need to locate and review the following sources. Please note that you will not use all of these resources in your final paper and that some of the sources may not be useful to you at all. The sources listed below are not written in MLA format and must be converted. There is a sample under Course Documents.\n<\/div>\n
In turnitin, an originality report is produced which is visible to the student as well as the instructor. Any paper which consists of excessive quoted material (more than 30%) will receive a significantly lowered grade and may possibly fail. Conversely, the similarity match should not fall below 10% as this indicates a lack of research. Ultimately, the content of the paper should be largely original, but adequately supported by quotes.\n<\/div>\n
