Abstract
The abstract (in block format) begins on the line following the Abstract heading. The abstract is a one-paragraph, self-contained summary of the most important elements of the paper. Nothing should appear in the abstract that is not included in the body of the paper. Word limits for abstracts are set by individual journals. Most journals have word limits for abstracts between 150 and 250 words. All numbers in the abstract (except those beginning a sentence) should be typed as digits rather than words. The abstract (in block format) begins on the line following the Abstract heading. This is an example. This is an example of what 150 words looks like. This is an example of what 150 words looks like.

Title of Paper
The introduction of the paper begins here. Double-space throughout the paper, including the title page, abstract, body of the document, and references. The body of the paper begins on a new page (page 3). Subsections of the body of the paper do not begin on a new page. The title of the paper (in uppercase and lowercase letters) is centered on the first line below the running head. The introduction (which is not labeled) begins on the line following the paper title. Headings are used to organize the document and reflect the relative importance of sections. For example, many empirical research articles utilize Methods, Results, Discussion, and References headings. In turn, the Method section often has subheadings of Participants, Apparatus, and Procedure. Main headings (when the paper has either one or two levels of headings) use centered, boldface, uppercase and lowercase letters (e.g., Method, Results). Subheadings (when the paper has two levels of headings) use flush left, boldface, uppercase and lowercase letters (e.g., Participants, Apparatus).
Text citations. Source material must be documented in the body of the paper by citing the author(s) and date(s) of the sources. This is to give proper credit to the ideas and words of others. The reader can obtain the full source citation from the list of references that follows the body of the paper. When the names of the authors of a source are part of the formal structure of the sentence, the year of the publication appears in parenthesis following the identification of the authors, e.g., Eby (2001). When the authors of a source are not part of the formal structure of the sentence, both the authors and years of publication appear in parentheses, separated by semicolons, e.g. (Eby and Mitchell, 2001; Passerallo, Pearson, & Brock, 2000). When a source that has three, four, or five authors is cited, all authors are included the first time the source is cited. When that source is cited again, the first authors’ surname and “et al.” are used.
When a source that has two authors is cited, both authors are cited every time. If there are six or more authors to be cited, use the first authors’ surname and “et al.” the first and each subsequent time it is cited. When a direct quotation is used, always include the author, year, and page number as part of the citation. A quotation of fewer than 40 words should be enclosed in double quotation marks and should be incorporated into the formal structure of the sentence. A longer quote of 40 or more words should appear (without quotes) in block format with each line indented five spaces from the left margin.
The references section begins on a new page. The heading is centered on the first line below the manuscript page header. The references (with hanging indent) begin on the line following the references heading. Entries are organized alphabetically by surnames of first authors. Most reference entries have three components:
1. Authors: Authors are listed in the same order as specified in the source, using surnames and initials. Commas separate all authors.
2. Year of Publication: In parentheses following authors, with a period following the closing parenthesis. If no publication date is identified, use “n.d.” in parentheses following the authors.
3. Source Reference: Includes title, journal, volume, pages (for journal article) or title, city of publication, publisher (for book).

Essay 4—Cause and Effect/Argument Due Friday, 13 November by D2L email
Essay 4 should be approximately four pages long (word processed papers are required). You may write more, if necessary, in order to develop your ideas and content more fully. Do the best you can to proofread and correct the paper before turning it in to be graded. Use Spell Check and Grammar Check but do not trust them completely—if necessary neat, clear last minute corrections of any errors or mistakes are acceptable.
How to Write Anything, chapter 5, describes cause and effect, a writing strategy that explains what did or might occur, discovering and laying out the connections as clearly and accurately. The paper can be a story of why something happened (the causes) or what is going to happen (the effects). Remember that a good essay must include details and information and that cause and effect may examine the past or the future, you are not limited to any particular sequence of events or time frame.
Cause and effect lends itself to writing an argument, an essay that makes a case for or against some idea or takes a position on a question or issue. TBR, chapter 3, gives an example of an argument essay on pages 70-76 and another on 92-95. This is not be a research paper—whatever you argue for or against is to be based on your own knowledge and experience. Although they are different, both essays have some points in common: both are organized and develop their thesis and evidence clearly ad logically. Use the format on the course syllabus or the MLA template.
Whatever your subject, think about the cause and effect or definition for a while before writing, or do a rough draft of the paper and then revise it.

Augustinian vs Beowulf
When compared to Augustine, Beowulf is rather more aggressive and prouder and always attached to what he believes as right in the eyes of the public. He appears to be deeply rooted in the life of perfection that he believes is the driver to do good and remain in harmony with his peers. While Augustine is driven by the belief that good is always the right energy and path to life, Beowulf shows mixed traits that are the key to his traits and behavior. Beowulf takes little regard of what the result of his action could bring and only shows concern when he achieves what he wants by claiming to be the hero in times of need. Beowulf’s on the other side believes in pushing his way and this has made him deviate from the real course of a hero who should be brave and still show the good side. Beowulf transform himself into a man who is in pursuit of recognition and this fills his mind as well as controlling every decision he made.
In his defense, Beowulf claimed that his actions and aggressive tactics were meant to keep his spirit alive and strong in fight for the survival of the society. One of the key traits portrayed by Beowulf was self-drive and he always acted alone in the search for what would bring fulfilment in his heart (Chance 55). He accuses those who stand in his way as the source of the problems that he faced as well as that of the society. In addition, Beowulf believes that he is not only strong and wise but the only hero who can redirect the community to its destination. “Anyone with gumption and a sharp mind will take the measure of two things: what’s said and what’s done.” ― Seamus Heaney, Beowulf One of the defining traits showed by Beowulf is the inclusive value for a life of self-drive but he cares less about how he affects and annoys those around him. In most occasions, Beowulf laments the many years he had wasted in living a double life that would have bene committed to realizing his dreams. There is a great contact between Augustine and Beowulf as they both behave and portray unique traits.
While Augustine takes a humble life and commits to realizing his own potential in seeking God, Beowulf is full of pride and believes that he is the foretold hero of the society. Tied to bis past and in search for self-realization, Beowulf is full of vigor to ensure he lives to be a hero. He is often blinded by his past and still his pursuit and drive for heroic recognition overshadows his own self. The behavior portrays the hidden behavior where he acts in solitary world to build what he views as the right angle to living his dream (Chance 63). The contrast between Augustine and Beowulf reveals in many areas both in behavior, emotional control, and the way they interact with their peers. “In the end each clan on the outlying coasts beyond the whale-road had to yield to him and begin to pay tribute. That was one good king.” One of the main ways Beowulf shows his trait is when confronted with challenges and forced to go out of his way to reveal what can achieve. In line this, Beowulf is sure that he has to fulfil his dream and thus acts in very mischievous ways as he tries to build a life that can accommodate what he believes as true and happy for him and those he loves (Chance 88). Augustine seeks to derive the right energy into making the best of his last days by seeking God’s guidance and repentance. Beowulf’s success and perceived heroic journey are the source of his pride that hinders his full capacity and humility.
Augustine is humble and seeks to regain his good deeds and make the right move in a bid to make things. In most instances, Beowulf acts in selfish ways that contradicts what most people perceive him to be including when his friends refer him as very calm and honest man. In this line, Beowulf is thus living a life where he contradicts his personality and this is mainly being driven by his search for a title. In contrast, Augustine makes a decision to live a life of humility as he searches for the truth and relief for what he perceives as a life of loss and pride. In self recollection, Augustine peruses peace and love and he is always seeking forgiveness and repentance from God. The traits showed by Beowulf and Augustine thus vary in their finals days as the both take a different view of life. One of the underlying and defining traits of Augustine is that he is tired of living a life of sin and arrogance and decides to seek repentance (Chance 76). On the other hand, Beowulf is still blinded by his past and now believes that he is still near to realizing his true heroic status. The behavior, actions, and decisions made by Beowulf are thus a reflection of what he is after as well as his life of selfishness and pride. In fact, Beowulf believes that he is in control of his life and so far, no one can shape what he thinks or change his destiny.
