Done Last Friday's Instructions: You should have a working Thesis Statement for me to look at. This Thesis applies your understanding of Montaigne's and Etinson's articles about ethnocentricity to "The Tempest", specifically to Prospero and Caliban's relationship. Remember what a Thesis is: it is the main idea, or contention, that directs your entire essay. It is what you are showing, proving.  It must be important, true,  and well-written.  You may want to build your Introductory Paragraph in full. Your Thesis is the last sentence (or two) of your Introduction.

Number your paragraphs on your articles so you can cite your integrated quotes properly, and cite your quotes from the script. 

ie. Caliban declares that the "island's mine, by Sycorax my mother," and therefore, he should not be imprisoned and enslaved by Prospero (Act 1, Scene 2, line 331).

ie. Michel de Montaigne is impressed by the natives of New World, as they "are still ruled by natural laws" and live "in a state of purity" ("On Cannibals", paragraph 2).

1. Apply Michel de Montaigne's essay "On Cannibals," and Adam Etinson's article "Of Cannibals, Kings and Culture: The Problem of Ethnocentricity" to Prospero and Caliban's relationship, in Act 1, Scene 2, lines 305 to "So, slave; hence! (Exit Caliban).

This will be an essay, word-processed, 12 pt. ft., Times New Roman, double-spaced, 2 pages (or a bit more).

**You must include a Glossary of all the words you had to look up and used in your essay.

You need to understand the two Articles very well, and the section of the text in "The Tempest," in order to do this well. So reread these sections of the text in the play, and the two Articles, as many times as you need to understand them and use them.
