TASK:

You will write a multicultural research essay that compares a cultural aspect of a novel to the real culture portrayed. As your focus, you should choose a specific cultural aspect depicted in the novel you have chosen. Your essay will determine the accuracy of the novel’s portrayal of your chosen cultural aspect. The length requirement for this essay is 2300-2800 words, not including the endorsement or works cited page. Your works cited page should include the multicultural novel you have chosen and five additional scholarly sources to support your claim about the novel. That means you should have at least six authoritative sources on your works cited page. You must adequately quote and paraphrase from all sources with correct documentation. A good number of source uses is 6-10 significant uses from the novel and 1-2 significant uses for each of the scholarly sources. That is a minimum of eleven source uses (quotes, paraphrases, or summaries) in your essay.

When discussing the novel, use literary present tense. When you discuss historical aspects, these points should be made in past tense. In your introduction, you should identify the novel, author, and setting. You may give a short summary of the novel in your introduction to set up your thesis. Your thesis should judge the accuracy of the depiction of a particular cultural aspect in your chosen novel. You may give background of your author if it pertains to the topic of your essay. Do not include irrelevant aspects of your author’s biography. Your topic sentences should be support points for your thesis. Each body paragraph should use illustrations from the novel and/or scholarly sources to support its topic sentence. You may restate your main points briefly, but remember to discuss the importance of your essay. Only repeating your main points is not a complete conclusion. You should also leave your audience with a strong conclusion and psychological closure.

Late essays will not be accepted. Failure to meet the length/source requirements will result in a non-passing grade. If your essay is not turned in correctly or on time, your essay may receive a grade of zero. Please follow all requirements on the policies for assignments document.

1. Choose a non-American novel from the provided list by week 4. Novels on this list are written by non-American authors and focus on non-American cultures.
