Americаn Literаture 251 / Midterm: Pаyne/SP/2026 Grade Weight: 20% оf оverall cоurse grade Assignment: Write a literary analysis essay using one of the prompts listed below. A literary analysis looks at the literary text and analyzes it based on a specific writing prompt. It is not simply a book report or a retelling of the literary work. The following heading should appear on the top right of your document; follow all other aspects of MLA such as using formal language and avoiding the use of "you" or other personal pronouns, unless they are used in quotations. Your Name Dr. Mary Payne ENG 251 Xx February 2026 Observe a paper length of a minimum of 500 words; you may have more, but not less. Write at least five paragraphs or more, but not less. You should have an introduction of your ideas, a thesis statement in the last sentence of the introduction, at least three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You may use first person (I) or third (he, she, it). Avoid using you, your, we, us, our, ours, etc. (unless used in quotes from the textbook). Creatively title your paper. End the introductory paragraph with your thesis statement. You may not simply summarize the content of the text; this writing requires textual analysis (in other words, avoid plot summary or writing a book report). Each body paragraph of the essay should advance one main point that supports the thesis, and ideally that point should be mentioned in the topic sentence of the paragraph. You may not use any outside sources in your paper. The only source you should include is the primary source, which is the literary text you are analyzing. Use the source text to support the points you make in the paper (remember: analysis involves you making a point, supporting it with evidence from the text, and then analyzing/explaining how the text proves the point). Discuss textual features in the present tense even if quotations from the text are in another tense. Describe the historical context of the setting in the past tense. (Rowlandson suggests... -or- Crevecoeur argues…) When quoting or paraphrasing, be sure to introduce the quote/ paraphrase with a signal phrase (Rowlandson writes, “that night…”) and place quoted words in quotation marks with the page number parenthetically listed at the end of the sentence or section quoted. For example: (Rowlandson, 286). Quotes should not exceed 10% of the total paper.Signal phrases help the reader distinguish between your words/ideas and those of the text you’re analyzing. Your essay should not contain more than 10% text in the form of quotations. Canvas tips: The slanted line with arrows at the top and bottom, located at the bottom right of the text entry box (where you type your essay) will open the window to fullscreen, if you prefer. Also, do not worry about double spacing the document or centering anything--Canvas won't allow you to do this in this window. Simply double line space ("return" twice) between paragraphs. Prompts (select one): Using Jonathan Edwards' sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" (395), write an essay that argues for the main theme of this sermon. Be sure to use passages from the text to prove your points of argument. Using Mary Rowlandson’s “A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson" (262), write an essay that characterizes the various perspectives Rowlandson presented of the Natives. Be sure to use passages from the text to support your points of argument. Using John Winthrop's "A Model of Christian Charity" (173), write an essay that discusses Winthrop's rhetorical strategies: How does he appeal to ethos, logos, and pathos as they relate to his audience? Be sure to use passage from the test to prove your points of argument.
