Mary rowlandson: a faithful narrative

Description

Write a 500-750 word essay and have a debatable thesis. A thesis is not a fact, a quote, or a question. It is your position on the topic. The reader already knows the story; you are to offer him a new perspective based on your observations.Aim for a 5-paragraph essay structure ( introduction with thesis, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion). 1.    Review Mary Rowlandson’s (a colonial American that wrote one of the first 17th-century captivity narratives, in which she told of her capture by Native Americans) narrative as a FAITHFUL NARRATIVE, instead of a capture narrative. If instead of viewing the work as an attempt to tell the true story of a capture, it is read as a reaffirmation of faith in God, how does that change the meaning?  essay should be formatted in MLA style, including double spacing throughout. All sources should be properly cited both in the text and on a works cited page. As with most academic writing, this essay should be written in third person. You should use scholarly sources that supplement your own position as clarified in the thesis.  Be careful that you don’t create a “cut and paste” paper of information from your various sources. Your ideas are to be new and freshly constructed. Also, take great care not to plagiarize. Since the reader is familiar with the story, summary is unnecessary. Rather than tell him what happened, tell him what specific portions of the story support your thesis.
