CP English 12 Paper Assignment

The Quiet American Paper Assignment

For your final test grade, you will be required to write a 500-750 word paper addressing the following:

Trace the characterization and development of two characters in the novel as they relate to one another. How does this relationship help develop a major theme of the novel?

Your paper must follow the MLA format as outlined in the following web site:
http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/
While I do not expect you to have any sources beyond the text itself, if you find yourself using another source, create a works cited page and be sure to use in-text citation. Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism and will be met with a zero on the assignment and an office referral.

The scoring rubric will be as follows:

Thesis – 10 Introduction – 10 Character Development – 20
Theme – 20 Supporting Details – 20 Organization – 10
Usage and Grammar – 10 MLA Formatting – 10
