Pick a piece of literature that we’ve studied this semester. Continue to analyze and research that piece of literature. Also, research the author of the piece of literature. Learn as much as possible about the writer who wrote that piece of literature. In the paper, attempt to answer the question, how does the writer’s life appear in the work/literature? In this paper, you’re equally writing about both, the life and work, and attempting to answer the question, how does the life appear in the work? The answer to this will more than likely be the thesis statement and focus of the paper.
How many of the literary elements can you incorporate to help you get this done?
