HIS 242
Solzhenitsyn Paper Assignment

Answer the following question in a one-page paper:

Citing specific evidence from Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (not from the textbook), how was Ivan Denisovich able to resist the dehumanizing aspects of camp routine?

• typed using a word processor (font size 10 or 12 only)
• one-inch margins
• double-spaced
• page number citations for your quoted evidence
• not to exceed one (1) page
• name, date and HIS 242 at the top left
• must have a brief introduction and conclusion (each not to exceed two sentences)
• You may consider submitting drafts of your assignment to your instructor for feedback before submitting the assignment for a grade. Please send some specific questions that you would like answered about your draft. The questions can be general (Is my introduction clear?) or specific (Is the phrase, "Chardin was jeweller," written correctly?).  You can send in multiple drafts (within reason) of an assignment before you submit for a grade.
• At times, you may be asked to rewrite your essay before it is graded.  This is done for your own benefit and will result in an improved grade.
