Character Analysis Assignment (Essay # 2)
Write an essay (5 paragraphs min.) critically analyzing a character in a short story from the list below. After reading the story carefully, you should have several major impressions about the character youve chosen. A character is made up of many different characteristics, after all. Your job, however, is to choose ONE characteristic and craft an argument about it. To find your argument, think about why a character has a particular characteristic or how a characteristic is the cause of a character doing something (likely strange!), whether that be leaving home, killing a lover, living at the P.O., etc.
Your thesis must:
Identify one key characteristic/aspect of the characters personality AND ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
o Argue how that characteristic/aspect drives the character and/or impacts the outcome of the story
o OR, in some cases, argue what caused the character to have that particular personality trait
Text Options (Choose ONE of the stories.):
A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner (p. 99-105/10th ed.; 78-83/11th ed.)
**In addition to the story (your primary source), you must find at least ONE secondary source to help support your argument. That means youll have a total of at least TWO sources on your Works Cited page and in-text citations to match them all in the body of the paper.**
Note:
All semester, your online research should be conducted in Alabama Virtual Library. Since this is a college-level class, any summary/homework help/Cliffs Notes-type source = NOT acceptable, ever. Websites such as Sparknotes, Bartleby, Shmoop, Pink Monkey, GradeSaver, Wikipedia, Enotes, Answers.com, etc. are off-limits. Instead, find (within the librarys books or online databases) scholarly articles/books written by literary critics. You need to see quality writing and in-depth analysis, sans the dialect and frequently taken liberties with grammar and spelling that we find in literature and study guide websites. The more you read professional writing, the better you will be able to recognize good writing—and improve your own writing! Using college-level academic sources makes your paper look legit, too!
