paper: similar to first<\/li>\n<li>Third paper: more like a long summary than an analysis, many quotes but not enough digging deep into them, seeking more opinions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>There is

papers: create titles, use footnotes, and utilize MLA style citations<\/li>\n<li>A good paper is one in which you believe in the abilities of the writer and completely believe the claims they
