There is no cap on how long the essay should be. You may write as much as you need to, but the essay should be a minimum of 1500 words. Your response should be in essay format (meaning it has paragraphs and is not simply an outline or list of bullet points). Use 12-point, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with one-inch margins. For quotes, simply put the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence like so (37).
