answer the following question:
“When looking at the Chinese Dynastic histories we read in DeBary and the account of Tokugawa Japan written by Kaempfer, how are these texts similar or different?”
Some tips:
· This is a short paper (550-800 words) – probably space for no more than a 2-4 sentence introduction, 2 (maybe 3) body paragraphs, and a 2-4 sentence conclusion
· Make sure your thesis statement is an answer to the “how” question
· Focus on your body paragraphs. Each topic sentence should prove a piece of your thesis statement, and each paragraph should provide the evidence that proves the topic sentence
· Most (if not all) papers will cite DeBARY and KAEMPFER, but feel free to bring in other ideas from other readings (be sure to cite them in footnotes or parenthetical citations with page numbers)
