Analyze one of the themes of the story (The Story of the Porter and the Three Ladiesfrom Arabaian Nights by Mahdi, Haddawy, Husnain), try to offer a new lens of reading it. You can search for more online papers/articles and resources (especially on JSTOR), and with proper in-text citations and bibliography, offer an argument/question, and follow it through the length of the essay. Also link the theme and stroy with other stories from Arabian Nights
The themes or ideas you can explore are the historical relation of this text with the Muslim society, orality, gender, sexuality, symbolism, enchantment, the use of magic and fantasy, the figure of genie/ifrit, violence, travel, and so on.
The first paragraph of the essay should be an intro para, followed by only one paragraph short summary of the story, after which you move on to your analysis. Try to move beyond the obvious plot and bring out a deeper theme/narrative out of the story.
