write a persuasive analysis essay that demonstrates the ability to organize a valid argument, integrate scholarly sources, and probably objection.
Instructions
The purpose of this essay is to develop an original argument about a literary work (short story, group of poems, or play from our reading list or from a primary source approved by the instructor) that can successfully persuade the reader towards a less than obvious thesis that requires persuasion. It is presumed that the argument is not one discussed in class and is not simply a plot summary, but a less than obvious take on a character or some aspect of the literary technique. The goal is to persuade the reader that the thesis has been proven. For example, it’s possible to persuade: Although she is arguably a murderer and necrophiliac, Miss Emily possesses characteristics of the tragic hero in William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”. You will want to locate literary criticism that both supports and contradicts your thesis.
You will write a 5-7 page persuasive essay that demonstrates the ability to do the following:
organize and support a valid argument,
define essential terms,
support the analysis with reference to credible, scholarly sources, and
answer probable objections without resorting to distortion or logical fallacies.
This assignment requires at least one primary source and secondary sources from literary critics to be cited in MLA style. This assignment requires use of both primary and secondary quotations to be cited in MLA style. Websites can be helpful, but they should not be the only source of information. Never refer to Wikipedia or other rudimentary sources, such as SparkNotes or Cliff’s Notes. We must support our essays with scholarly sources that specifically address the primary source.
I attached an introduction that I did myself and in it you can also find the different sources I would like to use for this essay.
