Research Paper: Literary Analysis

Complete a five to seven page essay that will analyze one or analytically compare/contrast two of

the short stories (play or poems) discussed in class, formulate a thesis statement, and support your

own argument about the selections with research. A typed research abstract is due no later than

Thursday, November 18th. You need to cite at least five scholarly sources, which should include

both books and journal articles, and may include one quality internet source, in addition to the story

or poem. You must cite a biographical source on the author(s) and a piece of literary criticism for

each story; the other items are your choice. Consider using additional literary criticism or

information on the piece's historical period or subject matter (civil rights, clinical depression, etc.).

The essay must be formal, use an MLA format works cited page and parenthetical citations, and

use at least four library (not free Internet) sources for a total of five sources.
