Essay Instructions: This paper is for my final and is due by 1915 tomorrow evening. I need the paper to outline, discuss, and satisfy author Tim O' Brien's requirements for a TRUE war story stated in his works "Going After Cacciato" and "The Things They Carried". Its ok to use some of his own history and combat experience in relation to his novel's meaning but I need it to focus around the two novels I have named. This is for ENG 125 so it does not need to be extremely complex, just well written in MLA. I am going to type the directions I received below. I have been burnt on sites like this before so I pray that you guys are legit..if so I have 2 years left of school and I promise to be a return customer. Thank You So Much in advance..




Directions per instructor:

Your research paper for this course should be an "argumentative" paper of 1000-1250 words (4-5 pages) not counting any title pages or works cited page.
By "argumentative" I mean you should be advocating a thesis (opinion) about some aspect of literature related to this course, as opposed to simply a "report" on the life of an author, for example.

Remember to use the MLA format for the text of the paper and documentation of your references. Please use at least 3 different sources and cite them in your text as well as on the Works Cited page. I suggest a direct quotation, a block quotation ( more than 40 words) and an indirect reference.
