*Literary Analysis Research Essay: The literary analysis research essay (1000-1250 words), due towards the end of the course, will analyze an author’s collection of short stories that you choose. It should be a literary text (e.g., not genre writing such as young adult, horror, mystery, or romance) that has been influential, and has been the frequent subject of critical analysis – this will be evident when you check JStor or other library databases. The text you choose should not be so recent that its impact on literature has not yet been determined, or analyzed in critical texts. Using research to support your points, you will develop and write a literary argument about the collection as a whole, focusing on two or three key stories. Your analysis will be supported with the sources you find in your research (at least FIVE). This assignment is worth 200 points.NOTE: for your research, PLEASE use the NVCC library databases — such as JStor and Literature Resource Center (Gale) — all of which can be accessed online. This page http://libguides.nvcc.edu/c.php?g=360994&p=2438216 has a great set of links for finding articles on the databases in the category of literature and literary criticism.
