you are expected to produce between 5-7 pages. Your paper should confirm to MLA  conventions and should include a Works Cited page.  Most importantly, you will be

expected to produce a clear, coherent, thesis driven essay.  This means that you will have an easy to identify argument and that you will stay focused on supporting

that argument throughout your entire essay.  You should demonstrate close reading skills, and supporting evidence from the text, and use quotation correctly and

effectively.  You will be expected to use AT LEAST seven direct quotations to support your argument. (this is on the book of mice and men)
