3. Bring a hard copy of your narrative re-write for credit.
4. Formal Essay #4: Literary Analysis Paper: 3 -5 pages. Have HARD COPY & digital copy available for class Wednesday night (November 2nd).
BEFORE beginning this paper, please read these two sources on writing literary analysis. The first is from Harvard. The second is just a "self-help" website. Both are valid.
Also, check out these info-graphics for some perspective on the ubiquity of sexual assault.
I will provide your thesis for this paper:
Though the circumstances are much different, both the narrator of Heels and the protagonist of The Rhett Butlers embody traits common to victims of sexual assault.
In a well-developed, well-researched (at least two sources, one scholarly) paper, analyze some commonalities among these victims. Use textual references to both stories to draw your comparisons. Then take those comparisons, and use them to draw broader connections to real life circumstances of sexual assault. Think outside the box. Draw comparisons and connections. Do research that enlightens this often shrouded topic. E-mail me if you have questions.
