Only the 8 best quiz scores will be considered in assigning grades. Due Wednesday July 23 by 3 pm. at 8 Sanborn. This paper should be no longer than 5 double-spaced pages, including quotations. Your task is to explicate, in as much detail as you can, any speech or passage of speeches of 20-40 lines in length. The first question is relatively easy and may be satisfied with few summary sentences.
Characters often say more than they intend, so do authors.
Try to be precise about who intends whom to understand what. As you write answers to these questions, a thesis statement will emerge. No one expects that to emerge at the beginning of the process, but in the final version of your essay, please put the thesis statement at the beginning and follow it with the specific analyses that make it persuasive. When quoting smaller bits that cross line breaks, please indicate line breaks with a slash and cite parenthetically. The citation goes outside your quotation marks and before the period that marks the end of your sentence.
