Now to your final paper. You must follow the guidelines (on Canvas since the start of the semester): 1) in no more than one page, explain what groups are fighting, when, and when, who leads them, and what each group is fighting for — one presumably to defend a nation-state and another to establish some form of political autonomy or independence for an ethnic group. Begin with “In this conflict, the …. fight/fought the ….” — do not write generalities about how people have been fighting each other since the beginning of time, which is not helpful. In fact, it is so unhelpful, I will deduct points if you do that.
2) in more more than one page, give me historical background, which may include colonialism, the collapse of the Soviet Union, a civil war in a neighboring country, a previous peace deal that went bad, etc. Make sure you limit your historical background to ONE PAGE, because this is not a history class. 3) these 3-4 pages are the most important part of your paper where you will gain most points. In order to do well, I suggest that you compile a levels of analysis grid first. Make sure you know ALL the actors and what they did to cause or to solve the conflict, before you start writing this section. Spend one page each on the individual, domestic, and international level. OR, if the conflict you study is best explained on just two levels, focus on those two and tell me briefly why the third does not matter much. Then you have more room to write about actors on just two levels. This section must be at least 3 pages long.
PLEASE NOTE: you can write out each level of analysis is clear English prose, the way you would expect to do in a final paper, OR you can submit this entire segment 3) in grid form, using the same format you used in your grid submissions previously. I recommend the grid option for those of you who feel the strict organization into columns helps sorting through all the data. In prose narratives, students sometimes get stuck writing about one or two actors only, or they forget to focus on causes of conflict and (attempts at) resolutions to the conflict. The grid can help with that. So, the grid is an OPTION for section 3). You decide what works best for you.
4) in no more than one page, in the end, engage with Lee Ann Fujii and Jesse and Williams. Here I want you to demonstrate that you understand Lee Ann Fujii’s contributions to ethnic conflict studies and I am looking, yet again, for terms like primordialism, instrumentalism, ethnic outbidding, spoilers, ethnic security dilemmas, diasporas, irredentism, etc. Tell me which of the Jesse and Williams terms explains your conflict best. What would Lee Ann Fujii and Jesse and Williams say about your paper if they read it?
Sections 3) and 4) determine, if you get an A in this assignment. Chicago style, I have also attached the formal guide of the paper and I attached the topic proposal which will help you understand what we are writing about. No AI or chatgpt

You must write a critical response paper based on the reading I will attach as a file document. The paper should be 4-5 pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font,
1 inch margins).
I wrote an rough draft research paper and it needs major work. I want you to use my same thesis and first sentence. I would like you to fix it based off of the instructions/rubric, and personal feedback that my teacher gave me.
You can delete ideas if they aren’t supported enough or are not needed. Just make sure it is between 1800 and 2000 words and has specific quotes from The Picture of Dorian Gray to support the argument.. Do not use AI.
I will attach my research paper and the rubric.
This is the feedback my teacher gave me:
Overall argument needs far more specificity and focus
NEEDS more evidence and close reading from The Picture of Dorian Gray (with quotes from the text)
Review essay organization to ensure that different paragraphs are saying different things because it is very repetitive.
add at least 2 secondary sources to propel argument forward rather than remain static
These were the original instructions:
This draft must meet the expectations of the assignment:
1800-2000 words
3 scholarly sources (i.e. academic articles or book chapters)
Full MLA citations and Works Cited page at the end
An original argument about The Picture of Dorian Gray
a) supported by ample close-reading of passages in the text, and
b) advanced in conversation with your scholarly sources
Things your Final Draft should also include (check off the boxes as you write):
FORMATTING:
Proper MLA formatting (see here for further instructions):
Times New Roman, 12 point, double spaced, 1-inch margins
A proper MLA style header on the first page (Purdue OWL: “list your name, your instructor’s name, the course, and the date”)
Your last name and the page number in the top right corner of *every page except the first page* (e.g. Margini 2)
A complete, perfectly formatted MLA Works Cited page
A good, non-boring title!
STRUCTURE:
An intro with:
a good hook and
a clearly articulated thesis statement (Note: it’s a good idea to phrase your thesis with Author or Title of Text as the subject, which emphasizes what the author/novel is up to)
Well-constructed body paragraphs. Each paragraph should be designed to make one big *point* that advances your overall argument.
Each body paragraph should have a topic sentence that clearly states the claim you’re making in that paragraph, builds on the previous paragraph, and clearly connects back to the overall thesis
A conclusion that sums up your argument but also contemplates the larger significance of what you’ve uncovered
QUOTES:
Quotations from the text. With each one, do the following (the ICE method):
Introduce the quote and integrate it into your own sentence
Cite the quote with an MLA-style parenthetical citation (the information you provide in the citation depends on what you provide in the sentence. E.g., if the author name is clear in the sentence, you just need to cite page #)
Explain the quote with at least one line of analysis per line of quoted material (note: just restating what the quote says does not count as analysis. With literary material, analyze the quote’s LANGUAGE!)
Paraphrasing of ideas from your secondary sources. You should bring in ideas/arguments from your secondary sources quite often, but explain them in your own words–and then include a citation of the source at the end of the sentence.
Quotations from your secondary sources. Use direct quotes from your sources to illustrate and emphasize the arguments you present in your own words (i.e. paraphrase). Note: you do not need to close-read, i.e. analyze, quotes from sources–just the novel.
STYLE:
Zero grammar and spelling errors!
Zero passive voice or meta-discourse! (pv)
Phrasing *in the present tense* anytime you’re talking about what happens in a book or what the author does
A maximum of 2 “to be” verbs per paragraph! (is, are, were, etc.)
