Due Today:

Ex 2: Close Reading

3 pages.

Choose a passage from any of the literary works we have studied so far (even if we didn't say much about them in class).

Defend a non-obvious claim about that passage.  Be sure your claim is about the literary work, not about our world. ("People can be thoughtless. Mathilde is an example of such a thoughtless person, who...")

Remember to defend a claim about the literary work itself, supported with quotations from the work.  I'm not asking you to do any outside research into the author's life or current events that might have affected the creation and reception of the work; just focus on the words on the page.

3 pages (about 750 words), in MLA style. I will not actually record a grade until you upload your draft to Turnitin.com (and I will send out the login information in an e-mail).  Bring a copy of your submission to class for a peer-review session.
