The Yellow Wall-Paper

For this paper, you will write 3-5 pages about a text that we have read this semester. Identify a theme from the text, and analyze how the author expresses that theme through various methods, such as character, setting, structure, diction, imagery, point of view, etc.

Your paper should develop an argument, have an arguable thesis statement, and be supported by evidence from the text through summary, paraphrase, and direct quotes. You must use in-text citations and include a work-cited sheet.

While you are allowed to bring in outside sources, the majority of your text should be focused on YOUR analysis. All analysis and ideas should be yours. Outside sources would mostly be used to reference historical context, explain an allusion, or for context about the author.

Your paper should be in MLA format (double-spaced, 12 pt. font, 1-inch margins, Time New Roman font) and include a header, title, and page numbers.
