How to get an A. (Anna Riley)

Aside from the obvious, don't plagiarize and follow the MLA style, we feel that an A worthy paper will start with a topic that was an educational experience for you.  We want to begin at the point of interest, and then revert back to the beginning. We want to make sure that the narrative is written with all events in order so it’s clear to the reader. Throughout the paper, we want to illustrate the story with plenty of detailed examples and dialogue. The only way we can do this is by using our own voice and applying our personality to the paper. In Feross Aboukhadiejeh’s story, he applies his sense of humor that makes the reader feel as if they can relate to it. We need to make sure that we apply the same sense of familiarity to a wide-ranged audience and not an exclusive age group. Due to the informality of the paper, we do not need an unnecessary thesis and can speak from first person. By following the above, one has the ability to achieve an A on this first paper.
