Literary Analysis 2 Final Paper Instructions (Due in Week 8)
Write and submit a five- to eight-page literary analysis on any of the texts we’ve read this term, excluding A Raisin in the Sun. In addition to the close-reading skills you’ve used to develop your essay in weeks 1 and 2, you will be incorporating sources into your assignment. A minimum of three intelligent sources must be used to develop your idea in this paper. The source can be about your text directly, or it can be about the idea you are writing about (such as water/ice, murder, siblings, money, etc.). You may use a source you have already employed in DFs of week 6 or 7. If needed, see OWLL: Researching on how to locate and evaluate a good source. You might also want to visit the library Comp II lib guide. It may help you remember some of the work you did with locating sources in Comp II. Remember, you will need to include an APA or Turabian Reference page since you are using sources in this paper.
Additionally, please review “How to Write a Literary Analysis” to help explain what the assignment is, how to complete it, and how it will be graded via the rubric.
