1/30/07 World Lit. Agenda and Reminder
I noticed that many of you used generic definitions from dictionaries to introduce your topic of choice --i.e. Incest is defined as sexual relations between persons so closely related that they are forbidden by law or religion to marry (Webster’s Dictionary 2002).
If you do this, be sure to cite correctly-refer to manual. the above is cited incorrectly. By the way, this is generic and boring. That's OK for now, but later you are expected to use something else.
Stick to the requirements:
1.MLA Formatted-refer to manual and 2 examples starting on p. 151
2.Times New Roman 12 pt.
3.Use transitions with each paragraph except for introduction.
4.No contractions
5.No personal pronouns
6.2 pages maximum, unless you have the OK from me to submit more.
7.Final submission- Friday, February 2, 2007 11:59 PM to Turnitin.com
Class ID:1791236 Password:bowie
This only check for plagiarism.
8.Submit another electronic copy to my gmail account--chiang.vickie@gmail.com

Be sure it is an attached document and not just another cut and paste.

B.What's in the bag?
Ruminate about the idea of fate and free will. How much control do you really have in your life and the decisions you make. This question may seem simple, but think about the large and tiny decisions that you make on a day to day basis. Are you in control?
