Final Literature Project Scope

The scope for the course project is to show evidence of careful and thoughtful development of the subject with attention to appropriate depth and detail. The project should be clear, coherent, and well organized. It should be free of errors that hinder meaning and free of plagiarized material. Note:  In spite of good work in some of these areas, a paper can be so deficient in others as to make it unsuccessful overall. PowerPoint options should have at least twenty screens and 1,000 to 1,500 words (and pictures obviously). Do not cut and paste information into screens as even PowerPoints will be run through Turnitin.com. With any option, you should write 80% of the material yourself and quote, cite, and provide a Works Cited for the unoriginal content.

Course Project Description

For your project, choose one of the following options:

1.    Prose to Prose: Read another literary piece from an author of your choice that we have studied throughout the course. Write a detailed comparison of the two literary pieces, using specific details from each.  Your paper should be 1,000-1,500 words at least with proper use of quotations and citations.  You may decide to limit your focus to character, plot, setting, symbolism, conflict, point of view, or theme. For example, you may choose Edgar Allan Poe. We have read “Premature Death” and “The Masque of the Red Death.” So, you would select another of Poe’s repertoire that best suits your project’s direction. Be sure to write only in third person narrative voice.

I would like for you to use Edgar Allan Poe and write the comparison between The Masque of the Red Death and The Raven.
