In a 1200 1300 word essay, present an argument/thesis about TWO of the works we have read. ONE work must be a play, and ONE work must be a short story. You will have to compare/contrast how each work use literary elements to address the same topic. The following works are recommended for analysis: Oedipus the King by Sophocles (pg 941 986) As You Like It by William Shakespeare (pg 987 1074) A Doll House by Henrik Ibsen (pg 1075 1136) HOWEVER, you are allowed to use any work from our textbook, or even another short story or drama of your choice, AS LONG AS YOU GET MY APPROVAL. For Unit 2, you will need a Play and a short story. On top of two primary sources, you will also need to use TWO secondary sources. Before we find our own sources (though if you feel confident, you are encouraged to do), you are required to use two of the following sources: Oedipus Lesser, Simon O.
