The Works Cited page contains sources.  Sources just means the place from which you get your animal information, such as a website on the Internet, or a database from the Dallas College (DC) library, and eventually you will put sentences from your sources into the body of your paper (those sentences will be quotes and paraphrases — explanation on those is forthcoming).  For now in this assignment, you must find five sources, usually from the Internet or a database, to complete this assignment.  I say “usually” from the Internet because books may also be used when the library is open.  So for now gather sources from the Internet and at least one source from the DC library database.
Please be sure to alphabetize sources by the first letter that appears once it is listed in the correct form in your WC (Works Cited) page.  If you have more than one source with the same first letter, such as The Snow Leopard, alphabetize by the next available different letter that is different.  It is true that sources from the Internet often don’t have authors and that is ok.  Whether you have an author or not, alphabetize by the first letter.  Alphabetization mistakes are penalized.

To reorganize a first paper into an argumentative paper, you will need a new introduction with a thesis that clarifies the topic. You may also need to add/change topic sentences and transitions. Do not use more than two long quotes; they should be 20 percent of the paper.

Consider the introductions and conclusions of “In Defense of Writing Letters” and “An Ancient Remedy Reexamined.” (Note that Hasler’s introduction begins after his abstract.) What strategies do these writers use to get their readers’ attention at the beginning of their composition? How do they wrap things up? Are these effective introductions and conclusions? If so, what can we learn from them? If not, what should we do differently?
Chapters 35-36 (Norton Field Guide text)
Essays: “In Defense of Writing Letters,” p.805 and “An Ancient Remedy Reexamined,” p.757 (Norton Field Guide text)
Chapter 4, “Punctuation” (APA Style text)

I need this rewritten in your own words in mla essay format. If I can have the introduction stretched out to a page possibility that would be nice. I’ve attached my paper I want re written and a screemshot of an example of another person’s analysis.
