1. You should demonstrate your engaged reading of the text, The Man Awakened from Dreams
2. You should cite the text properly. Even if you review essay is based entirely on the single text assigned, you have to indicate the page number you refer to by using a format of (page number) at the end of the sentence.
3. Do not use any random online source such as writings on personal blogs, articles published in online magazines, or online encyclopedia entries.
4. You will have to organize your essay. 1) The first paragraph will be the introduction in which you will clarify your paper topic and introduce your thesis (the main argument you will develop throughout your paper). You are expected to discuss how the meaning of Confucianism had gone through historical changes in China since the beginning of the so-called modernization. 2) Then you will write the paper body to advance your thesis coherently and effectively. You need to provide evidence to support your argument. 3) Write the last paragraph of your paper as a conclusion in which you can re-emphasize your main argument.
5. Your review essay needs to be rather “analytical” than a simple summary of the book.
