series of questions provided below. Format: A paper should be double spaced 12-point font Times New
Roman. Sources should be cited using footnotes and a bibliography in the MLA Style format. A
bibliography does not count towards your three pages. The only pages that will count involve addressing
the questions on the source. A bibliography SHOULD be its own separate page entirely. Students should
use sources when appropriate to help answer questions regarding their primary source. Wikipedia is not a
source. Use the following questions to type your paper. Do not copy/paste these questions into your paper.

not use informal language in your paper when answering questions. “I think” or “In my opinion” are
unnecessary phrases for this assignment. I know it is you already. Introduction – Your introduction should
