essay over the book the brothers karamazov.

You are to write a paper (seven to ten pages) on a literary topic related to your novel in some way.  Begin reading your novel on the first day of class and complete reading by midterm. Do not wait till the final days of class to write your research paper. Be sure to check due dates on the Syllabus.

Think about questions like this:

• Does the novel contain a great deal of symbolism?  Perhaps you could write a paper that deals with the author's use of symbolism in that novel.
• How does realism play into the meaning of the novel?
• How does the change in setting affect the development of the plot?

You may choose to address standard fiction elements such as theme, characterization, symbolism, allegory, irony, realism, or settings.  History papers and biographical papers are not acceptable for this assignment.  Begin planning your literary research paper now.  This is an ongoing project that you will work on while you do other lessons in this course.
