Use MLA guidelines for in-text citation as you answer these questions. I have modeled this for you throughout the questions, but you should read “Strategies for Documenting Sources (MLA Format)” in the textbook (begining on page 185). Focus on the MLA in-text citation section. You don’t have to create a Works Cited for this assignment. Failure to use in-text citations will result in a zero on this assignment.
Answer the following questions from Chapter 5.
- After reading Kadish’s story, “Letters Arrive from the Dead,” complete the writing exercise on page 95: “Do at least ten minutes of freewriting about Kadishs story, keeping it near so that you can consult it if you need to. In particular, try to raise questions about the story, and consider which of these may be worth addressing in a formal argument.” Ten minutes of freewriting should yield at least one full typed page. I won’t give credit for less than that.
