Compose an essay (introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion– about 3+ pages). Make sure that you have a clear thesis statement in your introduction and that you support your thesis. Essays should be in MLA format with proper in-text citations and a Works Cited page. Please research and include at least one scholarly source to support your thesis. Meaning- read the story, find a scholarly article (which you can find in the SCF Library databases-ask a librarian for help if you need it in-person or via the chat box on the library website) about that story/author, and write your essay to include references to the story and scholarly article.
You may chose to write about any of the fiction stories we have covered so far this semester. Please compose an essay that discusses the story in terms of historical context, writing style/elements of fiction, and/or that focuses on the motives/choices/evolution of a specific character.
I am leaving the exact topics somewhat open so that you may pick a story, author, and literary aspect that you find compelling and can write from a place of interest. Please remember that plagiarism is not tolerated. I expect these essays to be well-organized, in MLA style, and free of errors (proofread). Word docs only- no .pages please.
