Topic A.  Interpretation of one assigned late 19th or 20^th-century literary work
Write an in-depth literary analysis of one literary work assigned since Midterm: i.e. by Chopin, Dostoevsky, Conrad, Yeats, Woolf, Akhmatova, Wiesel, Takenishi, Kafka, or Garcia Marquez.  In your essay, use three main approaches to developing your interpretation, by addressing the work’s *thematic content (i.e. what it says), *literary form (i.e. how it says it, e.g. as genre and/or literary terms), and relevant *biographical-literary-historical background information about the literary work and/or its author.  Be sure to illustrate and support your points by citing and analyzing specific passages from the literary work, as well as source/s of background information that you cite, following directions and models for MLA-style citation.

Topic B.  Single Character Analysis
Analyze a significant character--e.g. Louise Mallard, the Grand Inquisitor, Charlie Marlow, Aki, Gregor Samsa--from an assigned literary work that we have studied since Midterm. Focus your discussion on identifying and illustrating two or three important keys to understanding this character and how s/he acts, and explain how your character analysis contributes to understanding the theme or impact of the literary work as a whole. Be sure to illustrate your points by citing and interpreting well-selected specific passages/lines from the literary work.   Be sure to cite your sources, following MLA-style citation models.  You are encouraged and will be rewarded for applying other relevant knowledge or concepts (e.g. relevant literary terms, biographical or literary-historical background information, critical views expressed in handouts or seminars, etc.) that you have gained from ENG 109 study.

Topic C.  Comparative Analysis of Two Characters
Choose two characters--either from the same literary work or from two different literary works--for a comparative analysis of two or three significant similarities and/or differences. At least one of the characters you choose must be from a literary work assigned since Midterm.  As you discuss each point of similarity/difference, be sure to illustrate each point of similarity/difference with specific passages/lines from the literary work/s, and be sure to explain why each of point of similarity/difference is significant to understanding the characters and  literary work/s. Be sure to cite your sources, following relevant MLA-style guidelines.

Various literary terms and concepts--e.g. theme, speaker, imagery, narrator, narrative frame story, foreshadowing, protagonist,  dynamic vs. static character, setting, plot conflict, climax or epiphany, etc.--have been introduced in class relevant to our study of literary works this term.  Define and illustrate at least two such literary terms/concepts that you have found helpful in understanding one or more of the assigned  literary works we have studied since Midterm. Illustrate your definitions by citing and interpreting well-selected specific examples from the selected literary work/s.  Explain why understanding these literary terms/concepts is helpful to better understanding the literary work/s. Be sure to cite your sources, including relevant guidelines for citing literary works.

Topic E.  Analysis of Group or Theme in Two or more Literary Works

(Groups or themes could be women rewriting world literature, family or gender relationships, attitudes toward religion, existential responsibility, alienation from society, responses to crisis or war, etc.)   Examine and illustrate specific examples of these representations from the literary works to demonstrate significant messages, and dominant or changing attitudes.  You are encouraged and will be rewarded for applying relevant knowledge or concepts that you have gained from ENG 109 study.
