You will be working on an essay that involves a statement that you will relate to any of the characters in the stories we have read thus far. You must decide if you agree or disagree with the statement, then use information from the stories as evidence. You will need to explore other sources, such as psychological or sociological sources to support your opinion. These outside sources, with the literature, will support your initial opinion of the statement. Please keep in mind that the focus is the literature as it applies to the statement. The outside sources will serve as additional support.
Select one of the following statements and agree or disagree, based on the literature we have read thus far. You may select several characters to use as support for your opinion or use fewer if you go into more depth. You may even choose to analyze one character, but you will have to go in-depth with the analysis.
