Write a 3-4 page comparative essay
Write a 3-4 page comparative essay that discusses key similarities and/or differences between the following texts: Your paper is not to be an objective presentation of all of the major similarities and differences between the texts. Rather, your essay must have a thesis that expresses a central argument about the works. “The Story of an Hour,” Kate Chopin and “The Astronomer’s Wife,” Kaye Boyle *You will note that each grouping is made up of one reading that has been discussed in class and one reading that has not been assigned previously. The readings that have not been discussed in class are available on Blackboard under “Course Documents.” Your paper should be formatted according to MLA guidelines, which we will discuss. Do not use sources outside of the original text. Important note: A note on Quoting When quoting from a piece of literature, be sure, of course, to include quotation marks around the entire quote and include an in-text citation that notes only the page number where the quote can be found in our reader.
