Hi so this assignment is a bit complicated but basically, I have attached the directions and a student sample below as well as what I have done for this assignment so far. This assignment is part of a larger research project/ essay I am working on where I am talking about Marlowe’s depiction of Faustus’s damnation. I will be researching whether Faustus’s fall from grace resulted from predestination or if he had any “free will” contributing to this phenomenon. I have also attached my research prospectus which gives you a good idea of what my paper is focused on. FOLLOW TTHE STUDENT SAMPLE AND NOTE THAT 2 OF THESE ACADEMIC ARTICLES CAN BE REFERENCE (the first and only article I wrote about already is one reference) HOWEVER THE REST MUST BE ARGUMENTATIVE. follow the same format as the student example and this must be in MLA 9 (use purdue owl). Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions and concerns and if you could keep me updated as your going I would really appreciate it.
THIS IS THE ONLY SOURCE YOU CAN USE TO FIND RESOURCES. https://utopia.ut.edu/
I would search things like “Faustus predestination” “Faustus free will” etc
