How do the metaphors used in Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 73” contribute to that poem’s argument, central idea, or theme?
Description
Write an 800-900-word essay. No secondary sources are necessary for this essay.
This essay must be properly formatted according to MLA standards. As this calls for an argumentative essay, it should contain a few important features:
1) your first paragraph should put forward a central argumentative point in the form of a thesis statement;
2) body paragraphs should argue in support of premises that work to reinforce your central argumentative claim;
3) body paragraphs should include quotations from the primary text (the film, novel, or essay you have been asked a question about) that are analyzed to show how they reinforce the argumentative claims you are making.
In the case of words directly taken from other sources, these must:
a) be presented in quotation marks,
b) followed by a complete MLA formatted citation indicating the origin of the words, and c) a work cited list giving all of the required information for an MLA Work Cited entry.
In the case of ideas taken from other sources, you must do ALL of the following: a) use signal phases to indicate where ideas originate with others,
b) provide MLA formatted citations that give the required information about where the ideas originate,
c) provide a corresponding Work Cited List entry at the end of the essay that gives all of the information required in MLA format for the cited source, and
d) ensure that none of the phrasing from the original occurs. Taking any words or ideas from other sources without fulfilling all of the applicable above requirements would constitute plagiarism.
