User talk:Atcovi/ENG225/Term Paper Dec 2023

Requirements

 * Write a 5-7 page (not counting the works cited page) essay analyzing a certain aspect of the piece you’ve chosen.
 * This paper should deeply analyze the text, which means summary should be kept to a minimum.
 * You will be required to use a minimum of THREE sources.
 * One of these sources will be the primary source (your work of literature).
 * These sources can be popular or scholarly, but they must ALL BE CREDIBLE. Sources from Wiki sites, CliffsNotes sites, etc. can be consulted on your own time if you wish, but they can not be listed as academic sources. The library database of academic databases is a great resource.
 * One of these sources must be another work of literary analysis (preferably by a scholar). Trust me, this will really help bolster and support your own depth of analysis. You may use the supplemental reading I provide as one of your sources if it works for your thesis.
 * Overall, this paper will be focused on interpretation of text through whatever lens or context you see fit. This, however, does not mean it has to be dry or boring. This is still your paper with your own assertions. You can draw your own conclusions, make your own connections and build your OWN PAPER out of credible research and direct reference to the primary source material.
 * Please refrain from making any wild claims if you can’t back them with clear and concrete evidence from the text or an expert source.
