Essay Requirements
A one- to two-sentence thesis statement directly stated in your introduction
At least 1,000 words (approximately 3-4 pages)
MLA style conventions for in-text citation of any sources (we will review how to find and cite sources in Week 3)
At least 3 instances of direct textual evidence from the story or stories you&x27;re analyzing in the form of direct quotation (you can also use paraphrases or summaries of material from the story, but you need to include at least 3 direct quotations).
Don&x27;t use "I" in the paper–see model papers in Week 3 and in the book for examples of how to avoid first person in literary analysis.
Write an analysis of a character you found particularly interesting in our reading. This character does not necessarily have to be the story&x27;s protagonist.
Is their name significant or meaningful in some fashion? What does the character&x27;s physical description tell us? What do their thoughts (if we have access to them) reveal about their nature? If the character is the protagonist of the story, what conflict do they face? Does the character change over the course of the story and if so, how and why?
Character of choice to analysis is Connie from "Where are you going, Where have you been" by Joyce Oates Carol.
