Paper

:  Character Analysis Essay

For this assignment, you must address one of the following options:

1)  Choose one character from a short story or drama read thus far and analyze that person’s growth and development.  NOTE:  YOU MAY NOT CHOOSE TO WRITE ABOUT AYLMER FROM "THE BIRTHMARK" BECAUSE A SAMPLE ESSAY ABOUT HIM IS INCLUDED BELOW.

Be sure that your response is thesis driven (see pages 31+ in text) and that it cites and discusses specific passages of the text in question.  While class discussion and lectures should serve as a catalyst to your own thinking, be sure your paper is not simply a rehash of what happens during class; be sure your response is uniquely yours.  You are not required to use outside sources—in fact it is best that you don’t.
