Compare Indiana Jones and the raiders of the last ark to The Epic of Gilgamesh


Paper instructions:
VII. Your essay should consist of at least five (5) paragraphs:
            (1) introductory paragraph (with thesis)
            (2) first supporting paragraph
            (3) second supporting paragraph
(4) third supporting paragraph
            (5) concluding paragraph 
             
More than three supporting paragraphs, however, are possible.

VIII. Each paragraph of your essay must have at least five (5) sentences (although you will usually want to have more than five sentences in a paragraph).

IX. Each supporting paragraph must begin with its own subthesis statement, which supports the overall thesis or argument of your essay.

X. The easiest way to come up with a subthesis statement is to state a similarity and/or difference between the myths that you will be discussing in that paragraph.

XI. Each subthesis statement must mention both works that you are discussing in your essay.

XII. Therefore, each supporting paragraph must discuss both works that you are discussing in your essay.

XIII. Important: Each supporting paragraph must have at least two direct quotations from the assigned readings, one from each of the literary works discussed in that paragraph.
