Introduction:

This final assignment represents an opportunity for you to expand on the literary concepts that you have been exposed to in this course. Further, it will allow you to analyze, comparatively and in depth, two of the novels from our syllabus.

Requirements:

Choose two novels from our syllabus and write a comparative paper that addresses one or more central themes present in both novels. Your paper should have introductory and concluding paragraphs, a clear argumentative thesis, at least four paragraphs of development, and proper MLA in-text citation and a Works Cited page. (See the Orientation Module for MLA guidelines.) As this is a research paper, your work should be supported not only with relevant textual details from both novels but also with a minimum of four secondary sources, two of which may be scholarly articles from the lesson content. Please use the Sheridan Library Database—not Google—for your research. Your paper should be between 2,000 and 2,500 words. Be sure to consult the rubric for this assignment prior to submitting to the Dropbox.
