Propose and get approval by your instructor for a coming-of-age novel
This assignment is worth 50 points.
For your final paper topic proposal, your job is to propose and get approval by your instructor for a coming-of-age novel for which you will then need to acquire a copy,
read and create a “Reader’s Resource Guide” (due Week 6)
and write a literary analysis about for your final paper (due Week 7).
Because this is a 300-level English course, I want you to concentrate on choosing a literary subject.
For suggestions, click the links provided with the assignment or do a web search.
Also, be sure to look through the list of prohibited titles (ones not allowed), also included with the assignment.
These are prohibited, not because they are inadequate in any way,
but because students always pick them, and I want to push you all to look a little harder to find something beyond these tried and true titles.
Your Topic Proposal should be approximately one full page in length and include the standard MLA heading and title.
In the body of your proposal, submit the title and author of the book you have in mind, as well as a brief synopsis of the plot and provide an explanation of why this is a suitable choice for the assignment.
MAKE SURE TO USE QUOTATION MARKS AROUND ANY BORROWED WORDING AND TO INCLUDE A CITATION FOR ANY BORROWED LANGUAGE OR IDEAS TAKEN FROM SECONDARY SOURCES SOURCES.
Not to do so is evidence of plagiarism which carries the standard penalty of earning a zero for the assignment.
Submit your topic proposal to the assignment link under Week 3.
