1. Read the attached short story and watch the video. You will write a mini-essay evaluating the two possible outcomes of the short story, “The Lady or the Tiger?” 2. Create an outline. (You do not need to post your outline this week.) Write down an objective list of arguments for BOTH sides (lady and tiger). I recommend creating a “T table” with reasons on one side why the princess might have sent her lover to the lady, and reasons on the other side why she might have sent him to the tiger. (You do not need to submit the outline to me.) 3. Your essay will be organized into the following sections: a) ONE introductory paragraph (6-10 sentences total): b) ONE body paragraph on the lady (8-10 sentences): c) ONE body paragraph on the tiger (8-10 sentences): d) ONE conclusion paragraph (6-10 sentences): 4. This literary analysis in MLA style (not APA this time) will be posted to Discussions. Your essay does not need a running head; you do need to add the standard heading in the top left corner of the first page (Name / Prof. Davis / English 100 / Date); below the heading, center your original essay title. 5. The total length will be FOUR paragraphs, as listed in a, b, c, d above. 6. In MLA style, when there is one source and everyone is using it, you need only put the page number at the end of a citation, so the citation would look like this: Stockton writes, “So I leave it with all of you” (4). |
