For this paper, you need to address the following questions about the stories that the
\ndaughters of Minyas tell to each other, in book four of the Metamorphoses.
\nThe Questions
\nDo the sisters\u2019 stories conform to the patterns and modes of behavior we see in the parts of the Metamorphoses that are not narrated by an internal character? How or how not?
\nBased on your answers to the above, what do the stories of the daughters of Minyas tell us about the Metamorphoses\u2019 internal narrators?
\n\u2022 Papers must be 1,000-1,300 words in length and submitted electronically via
\nCarmen by October 19th, 2018 at 11:59 PM.
\n\u2022 Late papers\u2019 grades go down 20% by calendar day beginning Oct 20th at 12:00
\nAM.
\n\u2022 We are willing to provide feedback on your argument and up to two body
\nparagraphs that we receive before October 14<\/p>\n
Do not make some ridiculous sweeping statement to open your paper. Just tell us your argument and get going. You should have a one or two sentence introduction paragraph, and its entirety should be immediately relevant to this question. The introduction is where you tell us your argument not where you make ridiculous declarations.
\nBody Paragraphs
\n1.Begin with a topic sentence. This sentence says what you are going to talk about in this paragraph, and it also explains how this paragraph ties back into your main argument.
\n2. Refer to Something in Ovid This sentence(s) shows us what evidence from the poem you are going to use first in this paragraph.
\n3. Explain! Why did you just provide that particular quote or citation? How does it fit into -The topic sentence of this paragraph -The overall argument of the paper This step is essential. It is also easy to overlook because you know your argument and why you put that evidence where you did. Make sure you pause to explain this to a reader, or your paper will devolve into a list of citations and quotations. If I wanted to just see things from Ovid, I would go read Ovid.
\n4. Repeat two and three as needed, to bolster the argument made in your topic sentence.
\n5. Do not let your paragraphs get too long. As a loose guideline, if your paragraph is over 220 words long, it is too long.
\nYou will notice that there is nothing here about transition sentences. If you can fit some reference to what is coming up in the next paragraph, then that\u2019s great. If you cannot, then that is also great. Your paragraphs\u2019 goal is not actually to talk to each other. Their goal is to talk to your overall argument. Don\u2019t mangle clarity in pursuit of beauty.
\nConclusion
\nSummarize your topic sentences and repeat your argument. This should be pretty short, (about 150 words).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
