Using First Person and Third Person
Most of the content you will write for humanities will be writing in the "third person" which means not using the term "I" in your papers. The reason for this is because you will not be using your ideas, but evidence from the stories. You will be implied in the reading and structure of the writing.

Using Present Tense Always use the present tense in your papers, as if it is happening currently in the story.

The first paragraph must hook the reader into your idea, but also must contain the main idea or thesis of your paper. Introduction

thesis is the main idea that is going to be discussed in the entire paper. In writing good body paragraphs you need to have clear topic sentences, then support.
Body Paragraphs Typically you lead with the topic sentence. Show a clear example or connection to the text. And then discuss it. It might be easier to remember as P.I.E.

P - stands for the point you are making in the topic sentence. The magical elements in the story are often diminished in the eyes of the villagers, making the magical turn quickly to realism. For example, the old man with wings is dressed "like a ragpicker. There were only a few faded hairs left on his bald skull and very few teeth in his mouth, and his pitiful condition of a drenched great-grandfather took away any sense of grandeur he might have had." The magical becomes normalized and accepted. Every possible insight into something extraordinary is then undercut with a healthy dose of reality. When they describe his being stuck in the chicken coup, he is seen "as if [he] weren't a supernatural creature but a circus animal."
I - stands for the information from text (quote, idea, theme). Don't forget about some of the other elements involved, like transition words and how each body paragraph might connect.
E - stand for the explanation. This is important piece because you have to connect to how you will connect your point to your information.
Never use the words, "In conclusion...." I will fail your paper. It is important that you show us how you used your paper to prove your point and then close with something relevant to your idea.
We will work on sources, embedding quotes, MLA citation and a few other elements in our next paper.

Conclusions
While working with a tutor, remember to bring things that you can work on. They can revise and help you clarify, but it is ultimately up to you to submit your own work.
Visual Map of Resources A note on plagiarism: while you may use resources, like advisers, tutors, friends, and family to help guide you with your paper, they cannot and should not be writing your paper.
