Remember that essay 2 is due Tuesday, November 15th, and that you need to hand in both drafts. Here are a few general comments.
- Synthesis! Make at least two texts prove the same points. In order to help you with this you may want to consider a point-by-point essay structure versus a subject-by-subject one. In other words, instead of organizing your essay around the texts (the essays you are analyzing), organize the essay around your points and use the texts as examples.
- Give the most details around the elements that support your thesis. A few of the essays spent a long time setting up the examples, but only spent a sentence or two discussing the part of the example that really proved the thesis.
- MLA citation. Remember to cite specific evidence, even if you are paraphrasing. Don't forget a works cited list.
