The 4-6 page research paper will be a study of “A good man is hard to find” By Flannery O’connor. You are writing to prove a point about the piece of literature, not to be informative. If you write an informative paper, you will fail. Your paper should have a thesis and 4 sources, including the story itself (your primary
source). All sources should be academic or scholarly in nature (i.e. no Cliff Notes, Wikipedia, Spark Notes, Monkey Notes, etc). You will need to identify all sources properly on the Works Cited page and credit them within the paper using in-text citations. We will be using MLA style only. Please make sure not to have too many quotations from outside sources. The paper should be comprised of mostly your own writing using the sources to
back up your own thoughts.
