The short story is O Xiangxue
After composing your first draft, give your essay an interesting title that includes the topic of your essay, the
short story’s title, and the author’s name. Example: “A Girl Comes of Age in “O Xiangxue” by Tie Ning.” (Tip:
Always put quotation marks around the titles of essays written by others but not around the titles of your own
essay that you are preparing to turn in).
Try to develop your essay using your own opinions and thoughts. if you do use outside sources, make sure to
create a proper formatted works cited page and include in-text citations–signal phrases or parenthetical
citations–in the body of your essay.
