Paper Instructions:

Topic: 
Which text will you analyze?  Include the full bibliographic citation for the text.
“Winter Dreams” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

Thesis:
Include a tentative thesis. I understand that your thesis will change over the course of your work, but I want to see where you are planning to take your analysis. Remember that your thesis should be arguable and analytical rather than a statement of fact.
NOT a thesis: "The Beast in the Jungle" by Henry James is a psychological story about a failed life.
This is NOT a thesis because it is merely a short synopsis of the story rather than an analysis.
Thesis: In the story "The Beast in the Jungle" by Henry James, May Bartram is a more tragic character than John Marcher because she lives a failed life with full awareness that she is not fulfilling her soul's desire.
This is a thesis because it makes an arguable point that can be supported with textual evidence. In many critical interpretations, May Bartram is characterized as the one who lived a passionate and successful life in contrast with John Marcher who lead a short-sighted and egotistical life. I disagree with this interpretation and I will explain why in my paper.
Textual Evidence:

List at least three supporting points you will use to support your thesis. These points can come from primary or secondary sources.
Source Material:

The assignment requires you to use at least two scholarly sources in addition to the primary texts. List the bibliographic citation for the sources you might use. Under the citation, write a brief explanation of how each source will help you to support your thesis. You may find other sources as you move through the writing process, so you are not obligated to use the sources you list here. This section is designed to make sure you can find appropriate sources for your essay.
