“Compare and contrast the role of Americans in foreign countries as depicted in the two works mentioned above. This essay should provide a sense of the similarities and/or differences in the experiences of Americans living in different times and in different places. Make a clear and concise argument as to how and why the points you make are relevant to the overall idea of Americans living overseas in the Twentieth Century”
TWO BOOK: THE QUIET AMERICAN AND FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
In making your arguments, you must provide examples from the texts for support. Rather than using formal footnotes/endnotes, follow these instructions. At the end of a citation–either a complete quotation or a paraphrase (putting the author’s ideas into your own words)–place the author’s name and the page numbers in parentheses. For example, a quotation: “I really like to teach history.” (HHA, 21); a paraphrase: Some people like to teach history. (HAA, 21) These methods are used to teach you about the issue of plagiarism, and to show you that historians always try to attribute properly their sources. This is the idea: You cannot claim another’s ideas as your own. In addition, avoid quoting from the Introductions of the three works. The information contained in them is provided as background material only. Make your arguments from the texts themselves–there is more than enough information present for you to make realistic conclusions about the works.
