You will write a 1250-1750 critical essay exploring one of the texts we have read so far from either unit. Your paper will focus on one work, but you may bring in other texts briefly if you like, for example, if you want to compare one author’s use of setting or perspective with another. You may use any of the formats for critical essays we will be talking about in class.

You will use the primary source(s), providing examples from the text to illuminate your discussion, and to guide your reader through the essay. You will also use one or more secondary sources.  Therefore, you will have both in-text citations and a works cited page.
