The Monkey’s Paw by W.W Jacobs

This paper requires you to document the use of an outside source—the source of the literary work itself. You will use parenthetical references to identify the exact location of evidence in the literary work that supports your ideas. You will name the author and title of the literary work and the date of its publication in your opening paragraph. Any specific reference to the work itself in your paper will require a parenthetical reference with the page number and paragraph number. Look at the student essays included in your assigned reading this week. Notice that in the opening paragraphs, the essay’s authors include the name of the literary works and the name of the authors being analyzed, but publication dates are not included. If these writers were writing papers in APA style, they would put the story’s publication date in parentheses immediately after the title of the work. Please be sure to use APA formatting.
