The final paper is an analytical paper in which you compare two of the required texts read in class.
The final paper should be 6 to 8 pages long, double-spaced, paginated and have a bibliography at the end.
Your topic should be limited enough to provide a specific thesis and a close analysis of the texts; repeating broad, obvious generalities or ideas we have discussed in class will not be sufficient. You will want to use secondary sources (i.e. literary criticism). The purpose of the final paper is to present an argument about texts we have read about and discussed over the semester, and to register the importance of the world we have encountered there. Alternatively, you can address one of the theoretical issues covered in the course.
The final paper should demonstrate your ability to choose a significant, appropriately limited topic; to carry out basic research; to devise, investigate and support a thesis; to analyse with skill and insight evidence from specific literary works; to analyse and evaluate arguments from secondary sources; and to present the whole in a clearly organized, well-written fashion. Content is very important, but good organization, sentence structure, and editing skills are also important. Citations and the Works Cited page should follow MLA format.
Here is my outline:
Introduction:
Thesis Statement I havent come out with a clear thesis yet but I would like to write something with symbolism because those two stories are both known for the use of symbolism. Both Chopin and Leebron use symbolism to (This is just for now)
Body Paragraph:
I. Ripe Figs
Basic plot of the story
Introduce authors background
Point out the symbolism used within the story and examine it.
Kate Chopins background and how her background has affected her writing style
I would like to include a literary criticism. I found a website named katechopin.org, it shows articles and book chapters about the story. So I may find some useful secondary sources on this website. Its operated by The Kate Chopin International Society, so it will provide reliable sources.
II. Water
Basic plot of the story
Introduce authors background
Point out the symbolism used within the story and examine it.
Kate Chopins background and how her background has affected her writing style
There is an interview I found online with Fred Leebron. He talked from classic literary story to suspension in disbelief. This is a useful interview for me to examine his work.
III. Compare and contrast
Compare and contrast the symbolism used in the stories. Is there any difference? If so, why? (might be the time they were born) Do these two articles impact the audience differently? What are the general reactions by the audience?
Conclusion:
Synthesize all the ideas I write in my body paragraph. Leave some space for the audience to think on their own.
