I’m working on a english writing question and need an explanation to help me study.

Reflection Paper One

Indian Horse

By Richard Wagamese

For your first reflection paper this semester, you will write a two page paper on Richard Wagamese’s novel, Indian Horse. In your paper, you should write about some aspect of the book that stood out to you enough to develop your paper around it.

Some examples of what you might choose to focus your paper on:

• You might write about the use of violence in the book.
• You might write about how religion is used as a tool of control in the book.
• You might write about how the main character used hockey to escape from his dismal existence (escapism).
• You might write about the different kinds of escape in the book (suicide and madness would be a kind of escape), showing how the novel’s characters chose to escape at St. Jerome’s school.
• You might write about the way that Wagamese shows injustice, and the damage done when trying to wipe away a person’s identity.
• You might write about how deep an individual’s identity is (and how Wagamese shows that a person’s identity is not easily stripped away, and also shows the devastating effects of what can happen when it is attempted).

You do not have to use these examples. These are just ideas of what you might write about in your reflection paper. However, feel free to use one of the examples.

Every paragraph of your reflection paper should contain support (a quote) from the text (with the exception of your introduction, and maybe your conclusion). You should introduce each paragraph with a topic sentence, you should also signal before you quote (use a signal phrase), you should provide brief context for what’s happening at that moment, which characters are involved, etc.; present quote (citing with MLA Format). Importantly, your quote should be followed by an analysis/interpretation explaining how the quote specifically supports your argument.

For your paper, you should use MLA documentation/citation: 12 pt. Times New Roman Font: 1 inch margins.
