write a formal literary analysis that delves into one aspect of an assigned work(s) in order to offer a unique interpretation of the story(ies) or narrative(s) (the topic i had chosen is Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson and how religion played a major role during her captivity). You may decide to explore how an author uses various literary devices (such as characterization, plot, setting, an unreliable narrator, allegory, a foil, etc.) to convey meaning.
Because this is a research paper, you are required to use ten outside sources (in addition to your anthology).
Throughout this project, you’ll develop a thesis and offer an analysis of your topic, supporting your claims with published, authoritative information.
Also, since you will be using direct quotes from the anthology and your outside sources in this essay, you must correctly cite these quotes within the text and include the work(s) on your Works Cited page. Please contact your instructor if you need help with MLA format (eighth or ninth editions) and guidelines.You will need to use each source at least once within in your paper as a direct quote, summary, or paraphrase.
