Literary Research project work

This week and next, you should have laser focus on your paper. I have sent you three examples on Google for introductions and body paragraphs, as well as a sample paper on Stephen Crane. In addition, I sent you the rubric a few weeks ago. Please review.

I am including three more links here, as well as the Steinbeck paper which is on the blog already. The American Dream is much longer than the requirement, but it offers a very complex insight. The first two papers in the list discuss multiple authors, but one is on Jane Austen and has a thematic focus. I think the thematic focus is the way to go, as my individual conferences with you suggest. I hope these are helpful.

American Dream exemplar

European dystopia exemplar

Austen exemplar

Steinbeck exemplar


Deadlines: Three pages (minimum) and an outline due Friday
Final draft due: Monday, April 28. This is a firm deadline. Even if you are not in school, I expect the paper to be turned in on Google docs. Late penalties of 10 points per day will apply.
