Paper List

Choose from the following list for FINAL TERM PAPER

    Your final paper will be a thematic overview of the chosen author's work using the selected work or works as examples of those themes you see. You must employ at least five distinct critical approaches. If you choose a dramatized work you must of course quote from primary text, which means if it was a movie, you need the script.
