Possible Topics:1. Walt Whitman/Emily DickinsonBoth Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman were experimental writers, and their writing reflected a breaking away from the strict poetic forms of the Old World. How did each author’s writings represent bold change, and how did they differ in tone, theme, and style from each other? 2. Mark Twain/Ambrose BierceLook at the two reading selections by Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce. First, review the definition of Literary Realism, and then how show how either story is an example of the genre of American Literary Realism. Use examples from the story you have chosen to illustrate your points. 3. Kate Chopin/Charlotte GilmanThis would be an easy one to organize and develop. Pick one of the two authors to write about. Please follow the following prompt if you choose this topic:”The theme of ____________________, in (Kate Chopin’s or Charlotte Gilman’s short story), is revealed through the author’s use of Setting, Narration, and Symbolism.” (Choose any three literary devices – setting, point-of view, narration, symbolism, characterization, irony, foreshadowing, etc.). Then, each body paragraph would focus on a different literary technique and how it reveals the theme.
Format:MLA Format500 – 600 wordsFive-paragraph essay format (Introduction, three supporting paragraphs, conclusion)
Organization:Introduction = Begin with an attention getter, or “hook”. The introduction should include the name of the author and the name of the short story, essays, or poems being discussed. The last sentence of the first paragraph should be your thesis statement, which expresses a strong opinion about a debatable point. The rest of your essay should go about proving this point with evidence from the stories or poems themselves. Body Paragraphs = Each of the three body paragraphs should begin with a topic sentence that relates back to the thesis. Each paragraph should be unified around a single topic. Each body paragraph should contain plenty of textual evidence (quotes or summaries from the poems or stories) to support your good ideas. I don’t want your essay to be just a collection of quotes, but I do want you to include enough supporting quotes or summaries to illustrate your ideas. Be sure to analyze (in your own words) the importance of the quotes you include. Conclusion = Should summarize your main points, relate back to the thesis, provide closure, and universalize your point, if possible.
