According to the research ( articles you read) How much of our happiness is pre -determined (genetic and not within our control ) OR how much of it is suggested by disposition, perpetuation and perspective ?

- A THESIS IS DEVELOPED and Specific - Ideas can be broken down into Main Points
- The Assignment is asking for THREE Main POINTS otherwise known as Topic Sentences

- I PROVIDED A WORKS CITED PAGE
How do I quote a source???? When you quote from an article be sure to provide the authors name or the name of the article if the author is not clear and the page number in which you extracted the quote. For Example; " Another approach to happiness and society focuses on the situations and the uses of variety as an activity in its own right" (Sutton 1).
The period is after SUTTON and the parentheses because Sutton is the one who said it.
OR .. According to Newman in the article How Much of Your Happiness Is In Your Control
NOTE: Do not use I or me. Rather , try to write in the third person. Some examples include- One might suggest that... In essence, an individual's overall identity when it relates to language is that...
Use your transitional phrase sheet to guide you through paragraphs and topic sentences.
