ENG317 Week 3 Assignment 

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the instructions for the Week 5 - Final Paper. For your final paper, you will analyze how one of the five themes discussed during the course is explored in at least two works from different writers read during the course and in at least one non-literary work (e.g., painting, sculpture, mixed media, music, dance, film, graphic novel, etc.; you may choose a non-literary work found in the course, or one found on your own that is not referenced in the course).

For this assignment, you will create a formal, detailed outline of your paper. You must integrate a minimum of two scholarly (secondary) sources into the draft, (you will integrate a minimum of three scholarly sources into the final paper for Week 5).

In your paper,

• Compose an introductory paragraph that presents your topic or theme and the three works you will discuss in the paper.
