This essay, as any academic essay, should have an introduction, thesis statement, body, and conclusion. It should be formal in tone, though it need not be written entirely in third person. You are expected to make reference to particular works we have read or ideas the class has discussed, but no additional research will be expected. Use Direct quotes and in-text citations to support your idea.
