The reflection paper and project (if a written text) must be in proper MLA format and style, and include citations and Works Cited page. Please combine both components or upload both files to this link. — 1) The project itself can, more or less, take on whatever form you wish as long as it relates to the texts we covered in this unit (i.e., specific stories, characters, locations, the novel Red Dragon, concepts, and media from this unit). Here are some possible ideas (please note that any required papers will be in addition to the reflection paper): Complete a short (2-3 pages) “traditional” literary analysis research paper in which you analyze literary devices such as theme, characterization, symbolism, etc).
