• Discuss how those parts contribute to the text’s overall significance or aesthetic value.
• Specific evidence in the form of quotations from the literary text are necessary to support the interpretive argument.
• This essay should focus solely on the literary text, so refrain from making personal connections or integrating research on the author’s biography or the text’s historical context
o This paper is worth 150 points: 25 points for conferences (minimum of two); 25 points for completed draft; 25 points for peer review; 75 points for completed, polished, final essay, written using MLA conventions.
o Essay length (not including heading or works cited page) is 800 words minimum to around 1,250 words.
• Please note: While writing about more than one literary element is allowed, you’ll likely be surprised about how much information you have and about how much you can discuss regarding just one element. Often when two or more elements are mentioned in an essay, it is due to one major element, such as theme, needs other elements, such as tone or setting, to help the theme be made known.
