Please do not merely cut, paste, and attribute in the discussions. For
every idea you paraphrase or language you quote, you must have at least
two lines of your own original analysis, evaluation, or personal
connection. Learning the humanities is not about finding information,
but it is about engaging originally and authentically with what you are
reading.Guidelines for the Outline/Proposal: An
outline is a convenience to help you tack down the topics you hope to
cover in a Final Paper, and a proposal is the extended and full
description of your project (as best you know it at the time of
writing). Understand that you are making a best effort to describe your
project early on, but allow yourself to be open to growth and change as
you conduct research and focus your intentions.Following the annotations, you will be ready to plan your paper. An
outline (one and one half pages) and a proposal (two to three pages) of
your intended project are due. Quality proposals and outlines will not
merely describe or find information but will have a strong and original
point of view. The highest points are conferred for originality, the
locating and detailing of controversies, and for nuanced papers that
sensitively explore topics with deft subtlety.This is due Week 2.This
