Throughout Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, there are many allusions to religion, specifically,
Christianity. How would the inclusion of Christianity have affected the audience that Harriet
Beecher Stowe was writing for? In what other ways does Stowe portray slavery and Christianity as
incompatible?
1. Use the past tense consistently when discussing historical events.
2. Do not use first or second person in your paper. In other words, don’t use the pronouns: I, me, my, you,
your, our, ours, us, etc. So, instead of: “I think Tom considered himself to be…” Just write, “Tom
considered himself to be….”
4. Proof-read carefully. Even if your paper has no misspellings, that does not satisfy your need to proofread.
Spell checker will occasionally correct your spelling, but insert a different word than you intended.
5. Do not use contractions. (didn’t should be did not, etc).
6. Your paper should adopt a more formal, authoritative tone. Do not use slang, clichés, or profanity.
7. Use active, not passive voice.
8. Staple the paper
9. Do not use outside sources (internet, etc.)…Wikipedia is not always the best place to get information.
Organization- Does the paper have an introduction, body, and conclusion? Does the paper have a
central argument (thesis) that appears in the introduction and conclusion?
Grammar, punctuation, and style- For example, does the writer use the past tense consistently? See
“additional considerations” below.
Use of the text- Does the paper successfully incorporate specific examples from the book? Do the
examples support the paper’s thesis? Since this is still a relatively short paper, avoid long block
quotes. Be succinct. In addition, avoid long summaries of the book. Your paper should be built
around examples that support your thesis.
You must, however, cite the books to support your claims. In each instance that you draw specific
information from the book, you should insert the page number from which the idea or quote
originated at the end of the sentence.
