Honors Essays

All HONORS students have a paper due on THURSDAY, October 14th. Your assignment, as discussed in class, is to focus on one of the following:
  • A character analysis -- tracing the development of a central character, or discussing specific character traits (whether positive or negative)
  • A thematic analysis -- discussing the development of a central theme
  • An historical analysis -- placing the work in its historical context
In any of the above, you must have a clear thesis (central purpose) and developed support, citing evidence from the work. The paper should be at least two pages, formatted according to MLA.
