Screwtape Letter Interpretative Essay

[s@m]

hmmm...when your done writing your essay you could send it to me so that I can 'borrow' it for a little while...just until I get my essay written.

Seton has an example of an interpretive essay that they can give you, but it's not on the Screwtape letters, which is good so that you have to write your own paper yourself, but you still get the idea.

Dang, still back at square one...I have to write the essay myself.

I do not think that this is it, but here is something on Interpretive Essays:

I had a question...are quotes needed for the interpretive essay? Is it incomplete without them? I have a nice long paper without quotes...should I try and find some and add them in? Or is it ok without them?

Um..don't think you HAVE to have a quote in your essay as long as you proved your point well. In my Screwtape Letter Essay I had a quote in every middle paragraph which helped me give an example and prove my point.

it's the same thing with every other essay right? quotes help prove your point but i don't think you have to have them. i have them in my essay...i think it helps.

alrighty...it would probably make my paper that much better...but I can't seem to find my book at the moment...so I can't find any quotes!

I didn't use any quotes...hope I didn't need any

I don't think it's required to use quotes, but you are allowed to as long as it states or proves a point. And whenever you use a quote you have to explain what it means or the point it makes. I'm still working on my Interpretive Essay, and so far I didn't use any quotes, so...

It's been a year since I did interpretive essays, so I can't say off the top of my head if quotes are required, but I know for a fact that Seton likes when you use quotes. However, with interpretive essays when you quote, make sure to explain the quote!!

...and you have to footnote it too...right?
