Literature, Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle Friendship.
In the NE (Ch 8) Aristotle explains that there are different types of friendship. Considering Aristotle’s definitions of friendship, how would you define the kind of friendship that Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite manifest for Job? (Analyze only two of his friends of your choice.) Discuss and make sure to include three-four pieces of evidence from the text(s) of analysis.
For the first paper you are NOT required to do some outside reading; however, if you choose to, please know that Wikipedia, answers.com, Cliff Notes, Sparknotes, Shmoop, enotes, gradesaver, or other similar internet sources DO NOT qualify. You may, however, search for secondary material either by going to a library, or by navigating through Jastor or Project Muse on the Queens College online Library Databases. If you need to define a term, please use: Dictionaries of Literary Terms, or Encyclopedias of Literary Themes and Motifs, Dictionaries of Symbolism, and other reputable dictionaries or encyclopedias. Internet dictionaries are usually very superficial and do not qualify for a college paper, however you may use the online Oxford English Dictionary (OED) available through QC library databases. Stay away from internet sites that are not associated with a university. Websites that end with .edu are acceptable.
Your paper should have an introduction with thesis, at least three pieces of evidence in support of your thesis, discussion, and conclusion.
Quotations are very important in a paper: including and discussing specific quotations from the primary, and, or the secondary text(s) helps you support your views. Also, make sure to refer to specific characters in the tales/poem of your discussion. Finally, please remember this is a Comparative Literature course; that means you should attempt to compare two to three characters, either of the same text, or from different texts discussed in this course.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON PLAGIARISM: Plagiarism means using someone else’s words or ideas, published (in the form of a book, magazine or Internet), or unpublished, as your own without giving him or her proper credit. If you do not know how to cite a particular source consult The MLA Handbook For Writers of Research Papers (LB 2369 .G53 1999) in your library. Anyone found to have committed plagiarism or anyone who buys a paper from Internet will automatically fail the course. For further information on Plagiarism please refer to Queens College’s Academic Integrity Policy.
Format: papers should be double space only, typed with Times New Roman font, 12 point (not 14-18 point font), and, one-inch margin all around (not two or three inch-margins). A double-spaced page contains roughly 22 lines. The Title page (containing your paper’s Title, your name, Prof.’s name, topic #, as well as time of class meeting) should be a separate page. Number all pages, except the title page. You should also have a Bibliography or Work Cited page on which you list in alphabetical order, all books and articles (or internet .edu sources) you consulted in order to write your paper.
