 <\/span>We are going to take these essays and use them as a foundation for connecting them to contemporary issues in society. So, like you did with your Informative Paper, we are going to research and find examples of current events and conversations that relate to the message of each of these narratives to show how the themes introduced in each resonate today.<\/span><\/p>\n

This week, you will begin working on your second paper for the course \u2013 an analytical paper. You will develop an outline and a thesis statement for your analytical paper.<\/p>\n

Using the critical reading skills practiced during this course, you will formulate a thesis statement that presents a unique and specific interpretation of a literary text. In order to analyze effectively, you will need to engage in close reading, or reading \u201cbetween the lines.\u201d This means that you will be choosing representative passages and carefully deconstructing them, highlighting connotations that may not be immediately obvious to fellow readers.<\/p>\n

This week’s assignment:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Develop a thesis statement in which you present your interpretation of a literary text. Note: Your instructor will provide further details on your text options and other requirements in announcements.<\/li>\n
  2. Develop an outline using the provided template to help you organize your points to support your thesis statement. Think of it as a skeleton that you will \u201cflesh out\u201d when you write your paper. You must write full sentences for the thesis statement, the topic\/transition sentences, the passages, and the restatement of thesis.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    • Note: The passages will be direct quotes from the text, so include quotation marks and a citation in APA style.<\/li>\n
    • Do not include any information from research yet. You first want to make sure that you have enough evidence from the text itself to defend your thesis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
