The purpose of this assignment is for you to interpret a literary work. The rhetorical mode is argument. You must clearly explain your interpretation and convince your audience that your interpretation has merit.
The main tool to write convincingly is to use primary and secondary evidence to back up your point. Primary evidence is from the literary text you are interpreting; secondary evidence is authoritative, college-level source material about the text.
One major component of the research paper is proper documentation. This class requires excellent use of MLA documentation format and style.
I will approve your thesis.
3-5 pages.
Minimum 4 authoritative, college-level sources. NB: your primary text is in addition to these secondary sources; therefore, the total for each essay is 5 sources.
