Second writing assignment due June 30th midnight

For the next assignment, you will be required to write an essay in which you explore connections and points of departure between the works of two of the authors we have discussed so far. Choose ONE of the following topics and come up with your own thesis/argument statement, considering not only plot and theme but also the form the books take, the way they are written, the narrative method (form and content):

1. Authorial Identity

2. Female Friendship

3.  Cultural Hybridity 

I would suggest framing your introduction around the topic of contemporary women writers. Also, as in the first paper, give a brief summary of the author and her oeuvre, and orient the reader as far as historical context. 

Your essay should be 5-6 pages, double-spaced, with an MLA Works Cited Page. It should also engage with at least three scholarly sources…. no ass-kissing allowed, but piggybacking is welcome.

Please bring a synopsis of your argument to our next class.  I will give you some ideas.
