July 21st Assignment

MODULE: Complete peer edit and retype paper #2

READ: 1. In your Rules for Writers, read and study sections 52-56, on Writing MLA Papers, pages 411 – 475. Pay special attention to: supporting a thesis, avoiding plagiarism, integrating sources, documenting sources, the sample paper (467-475) and take note of the margin comments that explain what the writer is doing well.

2. BWLOW Chapter 4

3. Check out the passage on Latino Identity by author Ruben Martinez. This will come in handy later...believe me!

WRITE: As Journal #7: Throughout the novel, Spanish words and phrases appear unaccompanied by their English translations. What is the effect of this seamless blending of Spanish and English? How would the novel have been different if Díaz had stopped to provide English translations at every turn? Why does Díaz not italicize the Spanish words (the way foreign words are usually italicized in English-language text)?
