Read the article. What did it say? What was it point of view? Was the author complete in the analysis? What needs to be done? How did it make you feel?
So in the paper, describe the article, answer the above questions...

Generally, you don't need a cover page.

Here is a site for a "Proper Manuscript Format:"

To answer the first part of your question on how to describe the article and its point of view, you will need to read the article carefully. Look for the main ideas and arguments presented by the author. Identify the tone and style of writing, as these elements can give you clues about the author's perspective. Take note of any biases or personal opinions that the author may have expressed.
To determine whether the author was complete in their analysis, you need to consider if they addressed all relevant aspects of the topic. Did they provide enough evidence, examples, and supporting details to back up their arguments? Were there any gaps or omissions in their analysis? Consider if the author provided a balanced viewpoint or if they were biased in favor of a particular perspective.
As for what needs to be done, this is a subjective question that depends on your own interpretation of the article. Consider if the author made a compelling argument or if there are additional areas that could be explored or analyzed further. Think about any potential implications or actions that could result from the article's conclusions.
Lastly, how the article made you feel is a personal response that can vary from person to person. Reflect on your emotional reactions to the article and consider what aspects of the writing or content elicited those feelings.
Regarding the question about whether there should be a cover page for your paper, it is generally not necessary unless specifically instructed by your instructor or following a specific writing style guide. However, you should always follow the specific guidelines provided by your instructor or institution.
If you need more detailed information on proper manuscript formatting, you can refer to the resources I provided earlier. The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) offers guidance on various writing styles, including MLA formatting. Additionally, the Writer's Write website provides a detailed guide on the proper format for manuscripts.
I hope this helps you understand how to approach describing the article, answering the questions posed, and providing additional information for your paper.
