<\/p>\n

As an initial (or review) of analyzing character and citing sources and using in-text<\/span><\/p>\n

citations, this 500-word AT LEAST (song lyrics and works cited not included) essay<\/span><\/p>\n

means to be your foray into the world of writing about literature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why? This is a loopy prompt, but this first paper is designed to practice research<\/span><\/p>\n

skills, structuring an essay, as well as an introduction to writing literary analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be samples available to get the idea as well as prep assignments to<\/span><\/p>\n

draft to final draft, also a practice of the writing process from idea to product.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assignment:<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose a character (literature, television, film) to analyze by creating the perfect<\/span><\/p>\n

mixed-tape for that character. It can be popular music from any time period<\/span><\/p>\n

and\/or genre.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lyrics should prove as evidence to your specific insights into the character and<\/span><\/p>\n

should adhere to MLA requirements for citing sourced material (al la lyrics). Your<\/span><\/p>\n

reasons for connecting the songs\/lyrics to the character should be explained and<\/span><\/p>\n

evident to the reader.<\/span><\/p>\n

Introductions and conclusions should be free of the lyrics and should rather be<\/span><\/p>\n

introduction to the qualities of the character and conclusions or insights about<\/span><\/p>\n

the character.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Paper should, of course, adhere to transitions between topics and ideas, should<\/span><\/p>\n

include engaging hook to start the conversation, and should use proper grammar<\/span><\/p>\n

and usage. Draft notes will be provided; however, at this point, you should be<\/span><\/p>\n

more focused on content help than proofreading and formatting issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have fun with and choose a character you know well!<\/span><\/p>\n
