Paper details:

Changes over time by Anne Bradstreet-To my dear and loving Husband in reference to her children. Compare with Anne Sexton-Her kind in celebration of my uterus. A literary analysis essay is your capstone project for this course and will demonstrate your mastery of the course outcomes. Read the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric carefully and ask questions of your instructor to make any clarifications, then proceed with this Proposal assignment. In this proposal, you need to identify your two primary texts and articulate a tentative thesis statement. While your thesis and other aspects may evolve over the writing process, your intent with this proposal should be to approach your ideas for the final project as they exist at this time. Your goal is to show that you have a well-defined starting point for your final project and a clear sense of direction to launch further into exploratory research and serious thinking and reading about your topic. Assignment Parameters (You must): Follow standard MLA 9th ed. formatting: Times New Roman font, 12 point, 1 inch margins, double-spaced, page numbers including your last name, plus required MLA title page information that contains your full name, the instructor’s name, the course, the date, and a creative essay title. This also applies to in-text citations. Purdue’s OWL (Links to an external site.) has accurate guiding information about MLA format and citations. Provide an Introduction with: Context: In traditional paragraph style, provide an overview of the two primary texts you are choosing for your final paper. Give a general view of how the two texts show change over time and what it means to be a woman writer. Main Claim: Plot out a working thesis statement that shows your interpretation of these two primary texts. Your tentative thesis may not be your final thesis, but use it to evaluate sources, assess relevant contexts, and develop your argument. Create a Research Plan that: Establishes a Schedule: Provide a clear research plan for the final project. Consider your school-work-life-play schedule for the remainder of the term, and describe a schedule that will break the research, drafting, revising, and proofreading into manageable steps. Feel free to break this down into a bulleted list or keep it in paragraph form. Annotate a Source: Include at least one scholarly secondary source you plan to use for support that you preferably found using the Elizabeth Sturm Library (Links to an external site.). Give the Work Cited bibliographic information (author, title, publisher, etc.), then briefly—yet accurately—describe the source and how it will play a role in your research. This description should be 100-200 words. An example follows: Candela Jr., Joseph L. “The Domestic Orientation of American Novels, 1893-1913.” American Literary Realism, 1870-1910, vol. 13, no. 1, University of Illinois Press, Spring 1980, pp. 1-18. Specifically in this peer-reviewed article’s section titled “Individualism and Society,” statements are made about the restrictions of women in achieving their individuality, which are discussed through the analysis of Edna’s character in The Awakening. Joseph L. Candela Jr., who has a Ph.d. in American history from the University of Chicago, writes to a scholarly audience in detail about women’s roles in society and how Kate Chopin was ultimately making a commentary about “the issues ultimately at stake in the feminist revolution” (5). Candela points out the symbolism used within the novella’s text, and how those were later used as tools to further Chopin’s themes of feminine freedom, responsibility, individuality, and family (Candela 7). Overall, this article supports my thesis statement in that it examines gender limitations within The Awakening. The background Candela gives on Chopin and other texts from the 1900s will provide a firm stance on which to do a thorough comparison of the two texts. 4. Craft a Conclusion that: Summarizes: Restate the key elements of your proposal by summarizing concepts that reflect your chosen texts’ identified values, ideals, and beliefs, and how those have changed or remained the same over time. 5. Include a Works Cited page that has the three total sources discussed in this proposal: your two primary texhkzts and the one secondary source.
