A farewell to arms

You are to write a paper that specifically explores Hemingway’s use of your choice of literary element within his novel, “A Farewell to Arms.” Be aware that the research paper explores what scholars and critics say about the author’s use of the literary element and from those insights take the reader to a new and deeper understanding of the text itself and in the writer’s use of the literary element as a writing tool.

You must go beyond just telling the reader where the literary element took place and explore why the writer used that tool, analyze whether his use of the tool was effective, tell the reader what the scholars and critics have said about Hemingway’s use of the literary element, etc.

Literary element choices:

Symbolism

Realism

Conflict

Imagery

Irony

The paper must also have title page, outline, and Works Cited pages. (These pages are NOT considered as part of the body page count.) You will find a sample research paper, including a sample Works Cited page in Chapter 16 of The St. Martin’s Handbook. Information about formal outlines is in Chapter 3. The order of pages in the paper is title page, outline, body of paper, works cited. These are all to be saved and sent to me as one document.

The final Works Cited page will contain seven to eight (7-8) sources. The sources will be derived from appropriate books, periodicals, etc., to denote variety of sources used. Cliffs Notes, Masterplots, Monarch, Wikipedia are NOT appropriate sources. Each of the sources used in the Works Cited must be used at least once in the research paper.

You are to follow MLA format and documentation as described in your handbook.

Use direct quotations sparingly (no more than 25% of the paper).

Be sure topic is sufficiently limited.

All words should be spelled correctly and errors in sentence structure eliminated.

The level of diction should be formal (no slang, contractions, jargon, or technical terms without definition).

The paper should be well written and scholarly.

All borrowed information must be noted whether quoted or not
