Drawing on our discussion of Chesnutt and your developing understanding of theme, I’d like you to write a short essay (1.5–2 double-spaced pages) in which you answer the following 2-part question: What role does dialect play in characterization within Chesnutt’s “The Wife of His Youth,” and how does this contribute to the larger thematic message of the work?
Note: Yes, I’m aware we discussed aspects of this question within your Perusall discussion, and yes, you are welcome to echo some our collective insights. The purpose of this assignment is to help you practice stating and defending a claim about literature in writing–since you’ll need to do so in a longer essay later in the term.
Regardless of your particular answer, be sure to complete the following:
Analysis (40%)
State and defend a clear thesis statement that answers the above question;
Offer specific textual evidence to support each of your claims;
Avoid summarizing the text.
Source Integration & Citation (20%)
Integrate quotations effectively. You may need to review the difference between summary, paraphrase, and quotation before you begin drafting;
Cite the selected work of literature following the 2016 MLA guidelines.
NOTE: This is your analysis of one text. You may not use and/or refer to any outside sources–not formal scholarship, not e-guides on the text, and certainly not other students’ essays. Please be sure to review the university’s statement on plagiarism in the UNCP Honor Code, as you are bound to it throughout the semester.
Organization (20%)
Include argument-driven topic sentences that forecast the content of each paragraph while also clearly referring back to and directly furthering the thesis;
Provide clear transitions between and within paragraphs.
Introduction (5%)
Compose a 2-sentence introduction: the first sentence should “hook” your reader; the second sentence should relay your thesis.
Conclusion (5%)
In 1-2 sentences state the importance of your argument/insight.
Style/Grammar (10%)
Maintain an academic tone;
Revise your essay to eliminate awkward/wordy phrasing, grammatical errors, and typos;
Format your document according to 2016 MLA guidelines (1-inch margins, Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, proper heading and header, etc.).
NOTE:  Essays that do not adhere to the length requirement (within 3 double-spaced lines of the min./max.) will lose half a letter grade. Be sure to review the full policy regarding late work in Course Policies.
This assignment is due at 11:59PM, as I want to give you sufficient time to complete it as well as prep the new reading.
