Your literary analysis essay will be on the novel Sula by Toni Morrison.
Your literary analysis should be 2 ½ pages not including the Works Cited page and must include:
- A clearly articulated thesis that states, somewhere in your introduction, the assertion (position, interpretation) that your paper will prove
- An introduction, a minimum of 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion
- At least two quotes from the novel itself that are integrated into your discussion
- At least two citations of outside peer reviewed sources
- Examples, details, explanations in the body paragraphs that clearly support your thesis
- Clear connections between ideas from paragraph to paragraph and within paragraphs
TOPIC:
Analyze the ending of the novel. What are the “circles of sorrow” that Nel experiences? Is the ending pessimistic, optimistic, or something else altogether?
