Instruction
For your Research paper, you will present an analytical/critical essay that addresses this question: The door to Mrs. Mallard’s bedroom, the open window, and the front door of her husband’s house, each symbolizes a part of what happens to her in “The Story Of An Hour.” What is the significance of these three motifs/themes in the text? The body paragraphs should explain the three themes/motiffs in the story.
Introduction: The thesis statement (purpose of the paper) must be clearly stated. Your thesis must present a position – an interpretation that you will defend in the body of the essay. The thesis is therefore a direct response to your assignment question. It must also include three main points to support your argument.
Body Paragraphs: Begin each paragraph with a topic sentence that will support your thesis and end it with a transition sentence to lead to the next paragraph of the essay. The analytical point you are trying to make in the topic sentence should be supported by quotations and analysis of the primary source (literary work itself) and secondary sources. Along with your text, use two secondary sources for your paper.
Conclusion: Reinstate the thesis in different words and highlight the main points of the essay. Include an interesting take-away for the reader.
