Assignment Question

Structure for the paper is based on Chapter 8 Basic Features and evaluative thesis—asserting an overall judgment Topics/Content based on two short stories, The “Tell-Tale Heart, Edgar Allen Poe, and “Graveyard Shift,” Stephen King Tips/Guidelines

Your essay should provide • a short introduction to your evaluative thesis • well-organized support using evidence from the stories (two main supports are fine for this final exam), • an effective response to objections and alternative judgments (refutation) • a brief conclusion that offers the reader something to think about (a takeaway/food for thought) instead of summarizing what the writer already said. Do not summarize plot or describe characters unless these ideas are relevant to the point you are making about your thesis. • The response to objections/refutation may be part of the supporting points, or may be presented before the conclusion. • This means that the essay would be a minimum of five well-written paragraphs, with topic sentences that connect to the thesis. However, your use of evidence from the stories does not have to be equal. You do not need to cite pages.

Topics: Choose topic below for the essay 1. Whether we are talking icky eyes, throbbing hearts, rats and bones, employee/employer conflicts, justify your evaluation of how well or poorly each story’s characters capture the nature of human obsession via the use of horrific and criminal images and elements.
