1. The questions require a short analytical essay of approximately 700 words. Each essay must contain: (1) an introduction with a thesis statement that takes an intellectual position; (2) a logical argument in support of your thesis statement; (3) referenced evidence that indicates the EXACT page or line number from the approved version of the text for all major points of argumentation; (4) a conclusion; (5) a word count; (6) proper bibliography in Chicago Manual of Style. 

For the page line its not a big deal if u don’t know what it is will try to figure that out later
