Description
Using the essay “On Being a Cripple” (p. 161) as a basis, write a definition essay explaining the term ‘cripple’. Do not use the Webster’s dictionary definition for this assignment. Remember: a definition essay moves beyond a strict, dictionary definition and uses other methods such as examples, personal narrative, and comparisons. For more information on writing a definition essay, visit Developing a Definition, part of the Guide to Grammar & Writing Web site at Capital Community College. Your paper must be 750-800 words in length (including the works cited page). The paper should be double-spaced. You must use at least two sources for this paper. Any resources you use (including your text book) must be cited within your essay and at the end of the paper according to MLA standards. Because the English department does not recognize Wikipedia as a valid source, do not use it for this assignment. --
