Instructions: 
For your research paper due in week 7, you will write a literary analysis with a specific, creative thesis and opinionated argument. Your finished essay will meaningfully incorporate 1-2 of the assigned readings this quarter and make a unified argument with specific assertions and researched support. Your paper is expected to contain some focus on your chosen literature’s status as world literature and what can be learned by examining the author(s) or work(s) from cultural, historical, or sociological perspectives. In terms of content, the most effective essays will
Evaluate and apply diverse perspectives (such as cultural, disciplinary, and ethical) to complex global subjects
Articulate an understanding of cultural differences
Demonstrate sophisticated understanding of the complexity of elements important to members of another culture in relation to its history, values, politics, communication styles, economy, or beliefs and practices.
Explore complex questions about other cultures and articulate answers to these questions.
To support your analysis, you must use at least four secondary sources from the GMC Library in addition to the literary work(s) discussed in your paper. The final paper must be at least 1500 words in length (and no more than 2000).
Requirements:
Thesis/Analysis
Your research paper must be a cohesive literary analysis of 1-2 of the assigned readings.
Your thesis statement must be clear, debatable, assignment-appropriate, and supported throughout your paper.
Avoid irrelevant biographical information or extensive plot summary. Your paper should prioritize focused literary analysis.
Research
You must use at least 4 secondary sources (in addition to primary sources- the literature itself) that provide critical arguments about the reading you’ve chosen. Research must come from class-provided resources or relevant scholarly articles from GMC Library databases. 
You may quote, paraphrase, or summarize your sources, but don’t let your research dominate the paper- you are the primary writer and thinker here, not your sources.
Your paper must be formatted according to MLA style.
You must include proper in-text citations within the body of your paper when quoting or paraphrasing primary and secondary sources.
You must include a works cited page at the end of your paper. Your works cited should include entries for both your research sources as well as the assigned literature you’ve chosen to write about.

Grammar/Mechanics
All written assignments should be mechanically and grammatically correct, with proper punctuation.
Avoid first-person point-of-view formal academic writing.
Take time to edit and revise your paper as needed prior to submission.
Organization
The introduction should name all relevant authors/works involved, and include a clear, appropriate thesis statement.
Each body paragraph should have a clear topic sentence that relates back to the thesis. The information in each paragraph should relate to the topic sentence.
The conclusion should rephrase your thesis, summarize key supporting ideas, and offer your final impressions and observations on the topic. 
Bear in mind that the structure of a paper- the thesis statement, the introduction, and the conclusion- should all work together. Before you begin writing, write an outline to organize your ideas. Doing so should help you write a more well-organized essay.

Works from 18th Century to present
“The Metamorphosis” – Franz Kafka
James Joyce (read only “Araby” and “Eveline”)

Hi, I need help on my Latinx final. I’ll attach the prompt. Within the prompt I chose option 2 for my midterm so where it says final right next to it is what I’m supposed to do for my final paper. That being said, I’ll also attach my midterm paper as well which all you have to do is copy the essay with the revisions the professor made on the paper on to the new paper with the 3 extra pages of an additional text which I will also include.

The assignment I have been given is ″In a minimum of six paragraphs, you will write an essay that applies our studies of schools of literary theory/criticism to Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Please pick ONE of the four schools of theory that we have reviewed (Feminist Literary Theory, Psychoanalytic Literary Theory, Marxist Literary Theory, or Post-Colonial Literary Theory) and create a debatable thesis statement that is FRAMED by that lens.
Paragraph One- Introduction as you know it (Harvey 4-Step Introduction… five sentences min. that ends in your thesis statement)
***Paragraph Two- a definition and explanation of that school of literary theory; you must include outside research in this paragraph… use the LibGuide (discussed in class), the OWL @ Purdue websites, and/or the essays in the back of your edition of Wuthering Heights; start general and become more specific (i.e., if you were applying the Oedipus Complex to characters in the book, for example, you might start this paragraph with information about Freud, psychoanalysis, and some general information about the school of literary criticism… in your final sentences, you would hone in on what is meant by an Oedipal Complex)
Paragraphs Three, Four, and Five– Body paragraphs that show the foundations of TRIIC and utilize close reading techniques (just as you know it, but of course, the examples must be framed by that school of literary theory).
Paragraph Six- Conclusion. ″
I would like this assignment to be through a Feminist Criticism.
Things you should know:
The teacher is very keen on the idea that the actual writing stays the same. The only thing that changes is the interpretation. Do not use ″I.″ You can say ″Through a feminist Lens…″ One of the files you need to use is the Owl Purdue version of the Feminist School of Literary Criticism. In class we only used this spreadsheet to learn about Feminist Criticism. Try not to deter from this spreadsheet. The questions on the spreadsheet are your main focus.
Have a Work Cited page.
TRIIC format:
T- Topic Sentence
R- Restatement
I- Introduce Evidence
I- Interpret
C- Clincher
Sample Thesis: While watching Marlin′s journey to ″find Nemo,″ the audience learns that even though Marlin is overbearing and obsessive, his love for his son drives him to overcome his fears and become the paragon of parenting.
Sample TRIIC Body Paragraph: After the heartbreaking opening scene, Finding Nemo transitions to the title character’s first day of school. While Nemo is excited about this rite of passage, Marlin is nervous and worried for his son. Marlin states, “Are you sure you wanna go to school this year? ‘Cause there’s no problem if you don’t. You can wait five or six years.” The use of the question mark in this statement indicates Marlin’s uncertainty, and the phrase “five or six years” hyperbolizes the situation. For example, a child who might need extra time before starting his or her formal education could need an extra year, but the extreme suggestion of six additional years at home illustrates Marlin’s own anxiety and desire for his son to remain safely in his sight. Before heading to school, Marlin reminds Nemo of the protocol for entering the ocean. Marlin’s nervousness is on display in this scene when he states, “…. first we check to see that the coast is clear. We go back out and back in. And then we go out, and back in. And then one more time—out and back in. And sometimes if you want to do it four times–.” The repetition of the phrase “out and back in” represents Marlin’s obsession with safety. Specifically, the words “back in” show how he retreats home whenever there is any threat, and that he feels secure when he avoids the outside world. On Nemo’s first day of school, instead of joyful anticipation, Marlin tries to impose his own apprehensiveness on Nemo.
