Remember: Two pages, one text and the other for overflow and references.
Don't cite "wikimedia corporation". Go to Wikipedia, find the citation numbers in the paragraph you are quoting, go to that citation and use that as your reference.
Anything on your paper that says directly: Wikipedia, Wikimedia, or any of that will be counted wrong. That includes Spark notes or any third party aggregation. Go to the books and papers that they take the quotes from, then use that citation. Its there, so you can find them.
Watch your grammar. Watch out using difficult sentences. Make a list of all the parts of the Pentad. Then explain each in detail for your analysis. I really don't care who the protagonist or the antagonist are. But I do care who the agent is and the agency that is used. We are using Burke for literary criticism, we aren't writing our own play. A protagonist can be any part of the Pentad, but use Burke's terminology. Thats what I am after.
Here are a couple of references you can use. Find me two more.
Burke, K. (1950). A rhetoric of motives. New York, 43.
Dolan, Frances E. "Introduction" in Shakespeare, As You Like It. New York: Penguin Books, 2000.
The assignment is due at 11:59 pm on Monday October 12. Late papers are docked 20%.
Don't over think this. Give me the Pentadic points and your reasoning, then give me four references, and I have already given you two.
Read this assignment over before you start it.
Let me know if you have any questions or problems.
