Theme essay

Write a short paper (3-5 typed pages) on the theme (choose ONE theme) of ONE of the following works in your text. No library research is necessary. This paper should include only YOUR ideas. If you do include another’s ideas, you MUST document them in order to avoid plagiarism. Make sure your paper includes a thesis statement! You will need to use evidence from the work in the form of examples and direct quotes to support your thesis. You may assume the reader of your essay has read the work you will write about, so no extensive plot summary is required. You will submit this assignment via Canvas. **If you wish to submit a draft to me for review (I recommend you do), you must do so one week before the official due date of the essay.
