Describe the hierarchy in the Muscovite household. Describe the economy of the Muscovite household. Also, understand that further reading in secondary sources will not substitute for a thorough analysis of The Domostroi .
Style matters a great deal in paper-writing.
Organize your material carefully, so that you make a coherent and convincing statement. Begin with an introduction that states your topic and indicates your slant on it. In the body of the paper, balance factual data and interpretation. For each example, provide a passage of equal length elucidating it and setting it in context. Expect to include numerous quotations from Domostroi and the other primary sources assigned for this course.
