Final Essay For this assignment, you must develop a five to seven page, thesis-driven interpretation of a text that you have read during the semester or a comparison of two or more texts.

Papers could include explorations of the text’s culture, history, form, religion, gender/sexuality, authorship, theme, setting, literary techniques, etc. As you prepare for the final essay, you should choose one aspect of the text that troubles or interests you, and examine the ways in which that element adds to or changes the meaning of the whole.

This is a formal literary analysis, so avoid first person. Do not use contractions, and PROOFREAD!!! You should have a clear and arguable thesis statement that is supported throughout your thesis, and you should have an insightful conclusion. Thesis statements such as “ The Epic of Gilgamesh and Beowulf are similar” is NOT arguable. While you only have to incorporate two outside sources in this essay, you are encouraged to examine a wide variety of resources, including, and especially, any sources that may contradict your own interpretations of the text. In addition to outside research, you will also use examples from the text (and if doing a comparison – examples from both texts).

I highly encourage you to submit a rough draft for feedback well before the paper is due. Requirements: 5-7 pages in length The essay must be on a work or works that we have read and discussed at any time throughout the semester MLA formatting, including a separate “Works Cited” page. A minimum of two secondary sources (They MUST be reliable sources) Due Date: 6/21
