Assignment

It is 4 FULL pages, double-spaced, 1inch margins, close-reading of "Harriet Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" in pages 910-931 in

The Norton Anthology American Literature 9th Edition 1820-1865 and examine how it reveals the work's larger thematic concerns. The purpose is to show detail-oriented, evidence-based analysis that does more than merely summarize the events occurring on the page. You might

consider and include information garnered from the textbook's author biographies, or your own research. Most importantly, you should quote the texts you're writing about and offer thorough analysis in your own words. In addition, you should mention which page and what line number have you been quote.

Essay should do the following:

· Introduce the text they're discussing in a clear manner

· Provide detailed analysis of a specific scene or stanza and explain how it relates to the larger themes or messages of the text in question

· Avoid too much summary; assume that your audience has knowledge of the text in question, and instead focus on analyzing the scene

· Cite specific descriptions and lines of dialogue from the text Guidelines

· Essay should be double-spaced throughout, with 1 inch margins (NOTE: the Microsoft Word default is 1.25 inches. You will need to change this).

· Your essay needs a title that relates to the subject matter (so, not "Essay 2" or "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.")
