Project Summary: SHORT ESSAY 2 Short Essay Assignment: 2-3 pages, typed, double spaced, 12 point font, 1 inch margins. Choose any one or two reading assignments from the syllabus covered so far in class (that you are not researching). Discuss how the work(s) reflect social/historical issues from its period, and analyze how the writing style or major themes reflects these concerns. Make sure you use specific examples from the text, with some (about 3) direct quotations. Do not summarize the work, and do not use sources outside of your textbook and class notes. This is not a research paper. This is to be primarily an analysis/close reading focused on the work itself. Use MLA style for in-text citations. No works cited page is needed, since I know the citations originate from our textbook.
