Attached below is an Outline Assignment I completed which is a precursor to this essay. The topic should follow that outline while holding these instructions from the professor as most important.
2,000 words, double-spaced Incorporating the feedback from the previous writing assignments, complete a polished final draft of the research paper, articulating an issue of interpretation about the chosen literary work, making a claim in the form of a thesis, and providing evidence from the literary work with support from at least five appropriate secondary sources. Assume that your audience is familiar with the literary work (so do not summarize the plot). Quotations should be carefully integrated into your own writing and properly cited (along with any paraphrases or ideas that are not your own).
