    MLA SAMPLE PAPER:
    MLA Sample Paper.pdfDownload MLA Sample Paper.pdf
    Write the essay in the following structure:
    Introduction: Your introduction — should open generally (with a quotation, anecdote, generalization), and lead into the thesis statement.
    All Comparisons (Art works 1 and 2):
    This section — which should consist of several paragraphs — should go through all similarities you find in the two works of art on which you are writing. There should be at least three comparisons (essentially at least three to four paragraphs) in which you give an example from both works of art being compared.
    Do not focus on just obvious comparisons, dig deeper. For example, both sculptures are made from bronze but also, compare the techniques, the surface texture of the material. The pose or movement of the figures can be compared, for example. You may also compare the meaning or content (the message) and the context in which they may been created, of both works of art.
    Michelangelo “David”               Bernini “David”
    All Contrasts (Art works 1 and 2)
    This section — which should consist of several paragraphs — should go through all differences you find in the two art works on which you are writing. There should be at least three contrasts -not obvious contrasts (essentially at least three to four paragraphs) in which you give an example from both works being contrasted.
    DO NOT USE THE EXAMPLES ABOVE OR BELOW, CHOOSE YOUR OWN.
    Do not focus on just obvious contrasts. For example, one sculpture is made from marble and the other sculpture is casted in bronze. Instead focus on the choice of materials and how the material will add meaning to the message, the type of stone chosen to depict a pharaoh may be based on the permanence of that type of stone, sandstone vs. diorite, as an example. Contrast the techniques, casting vs. carving, casting is an additive process while carving is a subtractive process. You may also contrast the meaning or content (the message) of both works of art as stated above.
    Thutmose III           King Tut
    Conclusion: This conclusion is wrapping up everything you have just proven in your paper. It should restate the thesis in a new, more official way, and you should feel quite confident in your writing.
    Here is a quick breakdown on how the Compare-Contrast Essay should appear:
    Paragraph 1: Introduction (with Thesis)
    Paragraph 2: Comparison A (Art works 1&2)
    Paragraph 3: Comparison B (Art works 1&2)
    Paragraph 4: Comparison C (Art works 1&2)
    Paragraph 5: Possible fourth comparison detail.
    Paragraph 6: Contrast A (Art works 1&2)
    Paragraph 7: Contrast B (Art works 1&2)

    Compare and Contrast Essay
    Most introductory art history classes will ask students to write a compare and contrast essay about two pieces – examples include comparing and contrasting a medieval to a renaissance painting. It is always best to start with smaller comparisons between the two works of art such as the medium of the piece. Then the comparison can include attention to detail so use of color, subject matter, or iconography. Do the same for contrasting the two pieces – start small. After the foundation is set move on to the analysis and what these comparisons or contrasting material mean – ‘what is the bigger picture here?’ Consider why one artist would wish to show the same subject matter in a different way, how, when, etc are all questions to ask in the compare and contrast essay. If during an exam it would be best to quickly outline the points to make before tackling writing the essay.
    Compare and Contrast Example:
    Stele of Hammurabi from Susa (modern Shush, Iran), ca. 1792 – 1750 BCE, Basalt, height of stele approx. 7’ height of relief 28’
    Compare:
    Stele, relief sculpture, Art as propaganda – Hammurabi shows that his law code is approved by the gods, depiction of land in background, Hammurabi on the same place of importance as the god, etc.
    Contrast:
    Top of this stele shows the relief image of Hammurabi receiving the law code from Shamash, god of justice, Code of Babylonian social law, only two figures shown, different area and time period, etc.
    Stele of Naram-sin, Sippar Found at Susa c. 2220 – 2184 bce. Limestone, height 6’6″
    Compare:
    Stele, relief sculpture, Example of propaganda because the ruler (like the Stele of Hammurabi) shows his power through divine authority, Naramsin is the main character due to his large size, depiction of land in background, etc.
    Contrast:
    Akkadian art, made of limestone, the stele commemorates a victory of Naramsin, multiple figures are shown specifically soldiers, different area and time period, etc.
    Iconography
    Regardless of what essay approach you take in class it is absolutely necessary to understand how to analyze the iconography of a work of art and to incorporate into your paper. Iconography is defined as subject matter, what the image means. For example, why do things such as a small dog in a painting in early Northern Renaissance paintings represent sexuality? Additionally, how can an individual perhaps identify these motifs that keep coming up?
    The following is a list of symbols and their meaning in Marriage a la Mode by William Hogarth (1743) that is a series of six paintings that show the story of marriage in Hogarth’s eyes.
    Man has pockets turned out symbolizing he has lost money and was recently in a fight by the state of his clothes.
    Lap dog shows loyalty but sniffs at woman’s hat in the husband’s pocket showing sexual exploits.
    Black dot on husband’s neck believed to be symbol of syphilis.
    Mantel full of ugly Chinese porcelain statues symbolizing that the couple has no class.
    Butler had to go pay bills, you can tell this by the distasteful look on his face and that his pockets are stuffed with bills and papers.
    Card game just finished up, women has directions to game under foot, shows her easily cheating nature.
    Paintings of saints line a wall of the background room, isolated from the living, shows the couple’s complete disregard to faith and religion.
    The dangers of sexual excess are underscored in the Hograth by placing Cupid among ruins, foreshadowing the inevitable ruin of the marriage.
    Eventually the series (other five paintings) shows that the woman has an affair, the men duel and die, the woman hangs herself and the father takes her ring off her finger symbolizing the one thing he could salvage from the marriage.
    Comparative Analysis:
    The comparative analysis starts with a formal analysis of two or more individual pieces, and then adds
    another level of discussion that evaluates relevant similarities and differences between the pieces. This added
    level is useful in revealing details about trends within historical periods, regional similarities, or growth of an
    individual artist over time.
    • In describing the individual pieces, keep to the same conventions used when doing an individual formal
    analysis.
    • Ask yourself why this comparison is relevant. There is a wealth of information in why your professor has
    asked for a comparison of two particular pieces.
    • Depending on the length and complexity of comparison, one of the two following basic structures will be
    more appropriate:
    • “Lumping” involves discussing all details of one work, and then all details of the second work. This
    method is preferred in lengthy or broad comparisons to avoid zipping back and forth between the works
    too quickly. Remember to compare the two works by referring back to the first work when discussing
    the second. This will ensure that you don’t simply write two descriptions.
    • “Splitting” involves discussing a particular point in both works before moving on to another point. This
    method is preferred in comparisons dealing with fine details instead of a broader look at each work as a
    whole. Remember to discuss each point evenly to maintain a clear, parallel structure

  • “The Foundation of American Democracy: Principles, Cases, and Impact” Avoiding Plagiarism and Using References in MLA Style: A Guide for College Students

    Instructions:
    you must write an essay (1000 words minimum) in which you address the following two questions or topics:
    The fundamental values that inform how our democratic government is legitimated and organized are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution of the United States.
    Identify and discuss the basic ideals and principles of American democracy and how they are applied in our republican form of government.
    Those ideals and principles are discussed in the first and second chapters of your textbook. You can also visit the following websites to read the original document in which these fundamental values were first stated and how they were later incorporated in the American Constitution:
    The Declaration of IndependenceLinks to an external site.
    The Constitution of the United StatesLinks to an external site.: 
    Identify the most important Supreme Court cases and executive actions and their impact on law and on our society.
    The history of the United States has been marked by the progressive expansion of voting rights and the protection of its citizens through legislation and Supreme Court decisions. At the same time, executive orders, particularly in periods of crisis led to the violation of individual rights. Throughout this module, these issues are covered. In chapters 3 and 4 you will find the information you need to answer this question. You are also encouraged to visit the following websites for further details.

    Instructions for Writing Your Essay:
    All essays must be written using proper English grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Points will be deducted for grammatical, punctuation, syntax, capitalization, etc. errors. Essays are automatically submitted to Turnitin. Work that Turnitin identifies as having more than a 10% rate of similarity (plagiarism) after quoted material and small matches (10 words or less) are excluded will not be read and will receive a grade of 0.
    NOTE: Read your answers and use spell check before submitting your work. You can only submit this assignment once.
    Submit the paper by the deadline in the Calendar. This assignment will open from the start of the term so that you have time to submit your paper, review the originality report, and resubmit your paper if necessary until you have a plagiarism score of under 10%. Be sure to use the Turnitin Grammar Checker to ensure that your paper is well written and ensure that you have spell-checked everything. If you resubmit your paper, note that it takes 24 – 48 hours for your new score to show up for this assignment.
    Submitting Your Assignment and Turnitin
    The Turnitin Assignment is in Canvas. You do NOT have to go to Turnitin to submit your paper. Turnitin is plagiarism-checking software. It checks to see if your work is original. I have set the Turnitin Assignment so you can submit your paper as many times as you want until the due date. That will allow you to check your plagiarism score and see where your work is not original. You can then rephrase that section and put it into your own words. The expectation in this course is that your paper scores no more than 10% in plagiarism (90% original work). You will be able to resubmit your paper as many times as you need to in order to get it right until the Due Date (see the link below to a video showing you how to resubmit). You will NOT be able to resubmit after the Due Date. Note that it takes 24 hours to see your new plagiarism score after resubmission. No more than 2 or 3 quotes in the entire paper, please.
    Avoiding Plagiarism
    You must be careful not to copy someone else’s ideas and not to copy and paste ideas from the sources you find. Copying and pasting from someone else’s work are considered plagiarism. You may use other people’s ideas, but you have to put them in your own words and reference the source. Putting things in your own words is called “paraphrasing.” And you must put the reference right after the idea. Needless to say, submitting plagiarized papers, including those copied from one of the Web sites that have “free” papers or even papers you can buy, will result in a penalty. That penalty in this course is that your grade will be reduced by the percentage of plagiarism over 10%. In other words, the less plagiarism, the higher your score is likely to be; the more plagiarism, the lower your score will be. The paper is worth 10% of your grade in this course. Don’t risk it!
    MLA Style and References
    One thing you will need to do in college is to learn how to find and use references. References support your ideas. College-level work must be supported by research. You are expected to do that for this paper. You will research, locate, and use one reputable source from the literature on the topic of stress and stress-related illnesses. The “literature” is composed of studies that have been conducted in a scholarly way to support ideas. Scholarly sources can be found in journals or on some Web sites, especially those that come from .edu domains (.edu is short for “educational” Web sites) or .gov domains (.gov are government sites). The College Libraries have dozens of good journals you can use. You will be using the College Library for this paper. You may do the research in person or use the Web to access our library. See your librarian for more information on finding credible sources.
    The title of the source should follow the author’s name. Depending upon the type of source, it should be listed in italics or quotation marks. 
    MLA Tutorial
    There are multiple tutorials and other training sources on MLA style at the OWL – Purdue University Writing LabLinks to an external site.. You do NOT have to buy the MLA Manual to do this paper.

    A. Directions
    Step 1: Choose a Topic
    Choose a topic that enables you to tell a short, interesting personal narrative essay. Your narrative can be funny, suspenseful, meaningful, or exciting, but it must focus on one event. 
    EXAMPLE
    If you decide to write about traveling to Washington DC, you should not write about the entire trip. Choose one event (e.g., an afternoon you spent visiting the National Portrait Gallery, or shopping in Georgetown, or taking a tour of the White House) and tell a detailed story that focuses on that single event.
    The following are some ideas that can help you to select a topic for your story:
    Firsts: Think of a “first” in your life and describe that moment in detail.
    Proud moment: Choose a moment when you felt proud about an accomplishment.
    Adversity: Describe a time when you had to think or act quickly to overcome a challenge.
    Travel: Recall a memorable experience you had while visiting an interesting place. 
    HINT
    Topic Choice Guidance: We encourage you to choose any one event from your life that you feel comfortable sharing in an academic context with a classroom audience in mind.
    Step 2. Write a Narrative Essay
    Write a narrative essay that meets the following criteria: 
    Presents a focused, meaningful narrative: The composition is consistently focused, and details are relevant and specific.
    Tells the story using a logical, smooth sequence of events: The sequence of events and details is logical and easy to follow throughout the composition.
    Develops a clear beginning, middle, and end: The composition has a clear and well-developed beginning, middle, and end. The opening paragraph(s) thoroughly introduce the setting, characters, and situation. The middle paragraphs thoroughly describe the progression of events. The closing paragraph(s) provide a thorough resolution to the narrative.
    Uses narrative language and techniques competently: Uses narrative language and techniques (e.g., concrete and sensory details, figurative language, vivid description, dialogue, pacing, and plot development) effectively throughout the composition.
    Demonstrates command of standard English grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and usage: There are few, if any, negligible errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, formatting, and usage.
    Step 3. Think About Your Writing
    Below your completed narrative, include answers to all of the following reflection questions: 
    Which narrative techniques did you use to bring your narrative to life? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Did you use vivid description, sensory details, and/or dialogue to engage readers? Provide two examples from your essay in which you “show” readers rather than “tell” them. EXAMPLE: A sentence such as “I glanced at the clock, grabbed my briefcase, and sprinted for the elevator” uses more descriptive language than simply saying, “I was running late for the meeting.”
    How did your purpose and audience shape the way in which you wrote your narrative? (3-4 sentences) Sophia says: Your hypothetical audience extends beyond the people who will evaluate your narrative. Which individuals or groups were you addressing when you wrote your narrative, and how did consideration of your audience and your purpose influence the way in which you wrote it?
    Provide a concrete example from your narrative that shows how you have written specifically for this audience and purpose. (3-5 sentences) Sophia says: Consider including a quotation from your essay and explaining how it was written to appeal to your audience and to accomplish your purpose. Alternatively, you might describe a theme, tone, or narrative technique that you used and explain how it was intended to appeal to your audience and achieve your purpose.
    Step 4. Review Rubric and Checklist
    Your composition and reflection will be scored according to the Touchstone 1 Rubric, which evaluates the narrative focus, narrative flow, narrative structure, narrative language and techniques, use of conventions (grammar, punctuation, etc.), and your answers to the “Think About your Writing” questions above.
    Refer to the checklist below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines.
