“The Turn of the Screw” by Henry James
Craft an observation or argument about the work, the horror created within it, and use examples from the text to prove your point. Whatever point you argue, you must support your ideas with examples from the text and your own explanation!
In order to come up with a main idea based off of the prompt, consider thinking about some common literature devices as well as some of the themes and ideas.
The essay should have clear paragraphs including an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You must include a works cited page and in-text citations for all sources used, including the work that the prompt addresses. You may consult outside sources for this assignment but it is optional. The focus must be on the work that the prompt addresses and an outside source would only serve to enhance an idea.
Please follow MLA format for this assignment and include a proper header (last name and page numbers), heading, and a creative title (rather than just English Essay or Literary Analysis). The essay should be between 800 and 1000 words, not including the heading, header, title, and works cited page.
