Short Response 2

Now that you have practiced writing summary of a primary source, it’s time to practice some other skills – paraphrasing, direct quote and citation.

1) Find something someone else has written on your favorite narrative. Ideally, it should be something written by an expert in their field (a literary scholar, a film critic, etc.) Provide a full MLA/APA citation for your secondary source.

2) Paraphrase their main ideas in your own words. Provide at least one direct quote which you feel best illustrates their argument. Provide parenthetical references in text where applicable.
