  • “Exploring Themes of Modern Literature Through a Comparison of ‘Wuthering Heights’”

    This project will utilize your prior knowledge, your analysis paper, research, and previous reading. Objective: Learn to utilize prior work within a larger project, such as a master’s thesis or end of coursework exam/essay.
    Using your novel/poetry paper you will be adding in other information and reorganizing your material to become a longer-length analysis comparing modern literature to the novel “Wuthering Heights”
    -you may select any previous text you have read before
    -you will research other analysis papers to support your claims
    Select three of the following: Symbolism
    Nature and seasons
    Duality
    Social Class
    Gender Roles
    Motifs
    Outline example:
    Introduction – introduces the three texts and connects them with similarities
    Body – Utilizes several points from your previous paper with reference to modern day literature – take into account any of the topics that you have already mentioned and insert more information to compare or contrast. For example: Where your original paper mentions the foils of the two women, this would be a prime place to further discuss gender roles, and start a new section/paragraph. Conclusion – Don’t just restate your original thesis, but tell me something substantial about what these readings have actually taught you.
