For this assignment, you are to choose a literary text from volume A of the Norton Anthology of American Literature-one that we have not extensively discussed and analyzed in class- and write a thesis-driven”close reading.” Thus far, we have sampled various, captivity narratives, poetry, autobiographies and drama, and we have also examined a variety of themes/issues that shape the consciousnesses and experiences of representative colonial American writers. Choose a text that interests you (based on either your leaning toward a particular genre, or toward a particular them), identy some salient, important connection with reading/analysis that we have already done in class, and then compose a paper that concentrates on a specific angle or aspect of the text under scrutiny. Make sure that you ground your analysis in textual explication, and that you demonstrate your interpretive argument to your reader.
