Write an essay (6–8 typed, double-spaced pages or 1500–2000 words) answering one of the following questions with reference to two or more of the aforementioned works. Alternatively, you may write on a topic of your choice. The paper should cover the works that we discussed in this section of the course listed above.
The paper should offer critical analysis and close reading. You should provide examples from the works, using quotation or paraphrase to support your analysis. All sources should be cited according to the MLA 8th edition (in-text citation and a Works Cited). The Works Cited should include the primary sources (e.g. Men in the Sun or The Motorcycle Diaries and the film adaption). This is not a research paper, so you should not rely on secondary sources. I am more interested in your own analysis of the works.
There will be a penalty for late papers. Plagiarism will result in a “0” on the paper.
