Read <\/span>Frankenstein <\/span>by Mary Shelley. A free version of the text can be found on the Project Gutenberg
\nwebsite but you are welcome to use any standard edition if you prefer. Note that you should not use
\nan abridged version \u2013 it will not provide you with enough detail to complete this assignment. Using
\nan audiobook is not prohibited (as long as it is the full text) but you will likely find it more difficult
\nto work with (transcribing quotations can be cumbersome &c). Movie adaptations and summaries of
\nthe story are not acceptable.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Write an essay in which you evaluate whether \u201cthe creature\u201d should be defined as having
\nrights\/liabilities in private law. Your essay must explicitly address the issue of personhood (that is,
\nshould \u201cthe creature\u201d be seen as a person in law?) and at least one of the three legal categories
\ncovered in this course (that is, should \u201cthe creature\u201d be able to own property? Make contracts? Sue
\nor be sued for tort?). Note that this assignment is not asking you to consider the issue of criminal
\nliability.

Specific Essay Requirements
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Your essay must be <\/span>12-15 pages in length <\/span>(8.5\u201d x 11\u201d\/letter size pages; Times New Roman 12
\npoint font; 1\u201d\/2.5 cm margins; double-spaced text with single-spaced notes). Footnotes or endnotes
\nare included in this page count; a title page and a bibliography must be provided but do not count
\ntowards the page requirements. Number your pages (note that a title page is not numbered and the
\nfirst page of your essay begins on page 1). These are standard conventions for academic writing.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Your essay <\/span>must be your own work<\/span>. Unauthorized use of artificial intelligence will be considered
\nacademic misconduct. Examples of artificial intelligence applications include but are not limited to
\nChatGPT, Quillbot, Bard, DeepL, Google Translate. You may not work collaboratively with any
\nmember of the class. You may not submit a paper for this course that you have also submitted for
\nany other course at any time in your academic career. You may not purchase an essay from any
\nsource. You may not hand in a paper you have found for free on-line. You may not copy passages of
\nany length from any source (print or electronic) without properly acknowledging your use of that
\nsource; this includes using quotation marks (or block formatting for long quotations) as well as
\nfootnotes\/endnotes. You may not use ideas and arguments from any source (print or electronic)
\nwithout properly acknowledging your use of that source, even if you are not directly copying the
\nwords in which the idea or argument is presented elsewhere. You may not copy the structure or
\norganization of any source (print or electronic) even if you rewrite every sentence in your own
\nwords. You may seek assistance from the Learning Centre, the Writing Lab, or the course instructor.
\nYou may ask someone (a friend, a parent, etc.) to proof-read your paper \u2013 that means they can read
\nit over and tell you whether it makes sense, or identify typos and spelling mistakes; having someone
\nmake significant changes to your paper for you is not \u201cproofreading\u201d.

You must use at least three peer-reviewed secondary sources by different authors about the
\nissue of personhood and at least three peer-reviewed secondary sources by different authors
\nabout each substantive legal issue you discuss in your essay<\/span>. You may use materials assigned
\nfor this course in your essay, but they do not count towards these minimum research requirements.
\nYou may use academic writings about the novel in your essay, but they do not count towards these
\nminimum research requirements.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

You must acknowledge all uses of all your sources, even when you do not quote directly
\nfrom them. <\/span>You must provide an appropriate reference every time you refer to a fact, idea,
\nargument, etc. that you have taken from any source. This includes providing a reference when you
\nmention things that happen in the novel. This must include the <\/span>specific page or range of pages
\n<\/span>(or chapter number, if you are using an e-book that does not have page numbers) where the
\ninformation you are using can be found within the source.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

All references must be provided in <\/span>either footnotes or endnotes <\/span>(you may choose which of these
\nyou prefer, but you must choose one of these and use it consistently \u2013 you should not have both
\nfootnotes and endnotes in your paper). <\/span>The use of imbedded or parenthetical references is not
\nallowed for this assignment<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

All references must be formatted either <\/span>in Chicago Style <\/span>(a short version of this is available in A
\nManual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations by Kate L. Turabian) <\/span>or <\/span>in the
\nstyle outlined in The Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (<\/span>McGill Guide<\/span>). Both of the style
\nguides are available in the University library and can be purchased in the University bookstore or on-
\nline. These are the two citation styles that are commonly used in legal studies in Canada. <\/span>No other
\ncitation style may be used for this assignment<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Your essay must be structured as a formal academic essay, with an introduction, body, and
\nconclusion. <\/span>Your essay must make a real argument that is expressed in a clear thesis
\nstatement contained in your introduction<\/span>. The argument must be supported by relevant evidence
\ndrawn from scholarly sources. If you are unsure what any of this means, you are strongly advised to
\nconsult with the course instructor and\/or with the Writing Lab as soon as possible. Other good
\nresources include The Lively Art of Writing by Lucile Vaughan Payne and this on-line resource:
\nhttp:\/\/owl.english.purdue.edu\/owl\/<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Your essay must be written in formal academic English. Slang, text-messaging abbreviations, and
\ncontractions are not appropriate in this context. Your paper will be evaluated on the basis of how
\nsuccessfully you address your topic, which includes consideration of how your paper is structured,
\nargued, evidenced, and written. Your paper is not expected to be perfect, but significant problems
\nwith grammar and spelling will affect how understandable and how persuasive your argument is. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
