Your first writing assignment is a fairly standard literary analysis paper; something to get us warmed up early in the semester.
Write a brief 5+ page critical analysis of a Faulkner text and topic of your choice. That it should be a well-organized, thoroughly-developed, appropriately titled, and thesis-driven argument for a particular understanding of the work in question should go without saying. Papers should be finely edited prose of the highest quality, and should be prepared in MLA manuscript format, including a Works Cited.
I am always happy to talk ideas, drafts, and other problems as they come up. If you can't meet me in person, a Skype session is great, too.
This assignment is due Friday, 2/8. Turn your paper in to me via your campus e-mail account.
