Write a paper analyzing BOTH plays through the lens of that prompt
Incorporate a minimum of three library sources, and at least two must be peer-reviewed
You may use a peer reviewed psychological or historical article instead for one of the two peer-reviewed articles; however, you must also use at least one work of literary criticism. BOOKS written by scholars are a peer-reviewed source that counts.
All sources must come from the Sbcc college library (though you may find interesting references from a Google search for introduction and/or conclusion). You may, however, ADD to your sources with interesting alternatives. For example, you might find a great podcast or documentary or interview that helps a lot. By all means, use those sources, too!
Most of your analysis should come from the plays themselves; the research will support the plays. Most of your body paragraphs should have quotes or summaries from the plays themselves.
An “A” paper will use no fewer than four relevant quotes or paraphrases from critical studies or production reviews, especially creative use of sources.
Promt: 
The Hairy Ape centers on a man who no longer knows how to belong. The dominance of capitalism, the place immigrants inhabit, the changing world in which Yank no longer has a place: these are forces Yank is up against. Similarly, in A Doll’s House, several characters, men and women, struggle to belong in the patriarchal world. Nora herself belongs, but only insofar as she subscribes to her husband’s dictates; does she belong when her fortunes reverse? Or what about Nils Krogstad; will he ever belong? Does Kristine Linde, or Anne-Marie find belonging, and, if so, under whose rules? Write a research paper in which you explore the dynamics of belonging. You might consider even researching the psychology of belonging. Focus specifically on who gets to decide who belongs and on what basis as portrayed in both plays. Is there any intersection, such as laws and economic dominance? What do the endings of both plays suggest about the possibility of change? To what extent has the world changed relative to belonging in the world we inhabit today? Responding to this prompt may well be enriched with research on historical contexts embedded in either play, particularly The Hairy Ape.
Length: 2000-2200 words (not including Works Cited page)
Content: Thesis-driven argument/interpretation paper. Assume your reader has a general understanding of the story (so do not provide a summary or overview)
Format: Standard academic form with MLA citations–Include separate Works Cited page
Sources: At least three sources from the college library; two must be peer-reviewed (and at least one of those must be a work of literary criticism).  Physical (or online) books are GREAT sources, and they will count as a peer-reviewed source BUT only if it is written/edited by a scholar (in other words, books such as self-help books do not count). And remember that when you use a book you usually only find 1-2 chapter of the book helpful.
In class, we have explored two contemporary theater pieces. Theater is not only a written text; it is a genre to be viewed and performed. Therefore, I ask that you combine elements of theater, elements of live production, and feminist theory if appropriate to respond to one of two prompts.

and i have also attached the essay prompt 

Revise Article Analysis (Essay One)
Your first option is to substantially revise your Article Analysis Essay (Essay One). These revisions must go beyond merely fixing formatting, grammatical, and/or organizational issues we identified in your earlier versions. In addition to addressing those issues, you will also generate a strong thesis statement about your article, that includes a call to action, and uses new evidence from an additional article and from Capital to support your analysis.
For example, if your Article Analysis posited that
“the housing crisis in the Bay Area demonstrates the inherent contradictions between use-value and exchange value in the commodity form”
then your revised, argumentative thesis might argue something like
“the housing crisis in the Bay Area demonstrates the inherent contradictions between use-value and exchange value in the commodity form, and demonstrates that working people and tenants must “put their heads together… and compel the passing of a law” (Marx 416) that establishes rent control, just like tenant organizers did in the City of Pasadena (Zahra).”
In this example, you’re moving beyond a theoretical analysis of the issue you researched and using new evidence from new research (for this example I used this article) and new evidence from Capital to support your call to action (passing rent control).
This essay should follow MLA formatting guidelines, and include in-text citations and a Works Cited page
1750 word revision of your Film Analysis (Essay 2).
Your new draft must have an argumentative thesis.
Option One requires a call to action: What do we do to address the issues you uncover in your Article Analysis?
Option Two requires an argument for the efficacy/inefficacy of the film’s portrayal of Marx’s concepts. How well does the film depict these concepts? Why? What problems arise from the film’s depiction?
In addition to evidence from your earlier draft, your new thesis must be supported by at least two new pieces of evidence from the film/article

Example: 
I
can personally relate to a moment in the story “Born Bad” by Sandra Cisneros.
The narrator says, “My mother says I was born on an evil day and prays for me”
(Cisneros, 1983, p.32). I can recall when my mother told me I was evil for
pretending to be someone who had already passed away. Although the
circumstances differ between myself and the narrator, these words always stayed
with me. In many ways, it prevented me from continuing the same actions. In
fact, there were times that I felt that if I continued to play such games, I
would be haunted by the dead.
STORY : Born Bad
Most likely I will go
to hell and most likely I deserve to be there. My mother says I was born on an
evil day and prays for me. Lucy and Rachel pray too. For ourselves and for each
other … because of what we did to Aunt Lupe. Her name was Guadalupe and she
was pretty like my mother. Dark. Good to look at. In her Joan Crawford dress
and swimmer’s legs. Aunt Lupe of the photographs. But I knew her sick from the
disease that would not go, her legs bunched under the yellow sheets, the bones
gone limp as worms. The yellow pillow, the yellow smell, the bottles and
spoons. Her head thrown back like a thirsty lady. My aunt, the swimmer.
