Now that you have written a thesis statement and created an outline for your paper, you will use the critical reading skills practiced in this course to defend your interpretation of the literary text you have chosen to analyze. Keep in mind the importance of “close reading” or “reading between the lines.”

Your paper must include the following:

• An introduction that provides relevant background information and ends with your thesis statement
• A minimum of six body paragraphs that defend your thesis statement 
• A minimum of three references from reliable sources; one must be a scholarly, academic article, and all must be cited at least once in the paper
• A conclusion that reaffirms your thesis statement and addresses wider implications
• Formatting, citations, and references must all adhere to APA style

This week, you will begin working on your second paper for the course – an analytical paper. You will develop an outline and a thesis statement for your analytical paper.

In order to analyze effectively, you will need to engage in close reading, or reading “between the lines.” This means that you will be choosing representative passages and carefully deconstructing them, highlighting connotations that may not be immediately obvious to fellow readers.
