ROAR!!! oh, and that paper...
Last thoughts about the paper...
1: The overarching question is whether to teach Huck Finn. But, your paper must address whether the book, or the narrator, or the author is racist. This is why RASH is so important. By understanding the RASH, we can evaluate the book.
2: Works Cited. MLA all day. You should have at least 5 sources that are cited.
3: quotations? Each body paragraph should have a direct quotation. Thus, each paragraph must have a citation. If there is no page number, then just list the author's name.
Happy writing.
