Story is “Piropo” (Leticia del Toro, 2011) [ch.5]

For this assignment, you will write a two-and-a-half-page draft (excluding the title and references page) of your Week 5 Literary Analysis Final Paper. The draft should contain the following:

• The writing prompt you chose to explore in your Proposal for Final Paper assignment in Week 1. You can copy and paste the writing prompt directly from your Week 1 assignment. Providing your writing prompt will help your instructor see if you focused well on the prompt.
• A working thesis. This working thesis should be a revised version (based on the feedback you have received) of the working thesis you submitted for the Week 1 assignment. Again, the thesis should offer a debatable claim in response to one of the prompts on the list and should be developed and supported by your research.
• An introduction.
• At least three body paragraphs. Be sure to include some paraphrases and quotations of the references from your Week 2 assignment. Do not summarize the plot. For support on writing your body paragraphs, read the Ashford Writing Center’s Body Paragraphs (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. web page.
• A conclusion.
• An annotated bibliography.

In your paper,

• Analyze the literary work from the approved list of prompts chosen in Week 1 that pertained to your selected topic.
• Apply your knowledge of literary elements and other concepts.

Review the feedback provided by your instructor on prior assignments as you begin drafting your literary analysis. You may use the Sample Literary Analysis in Chapter 3 of your course textbook as a reference, but do not re-use any information within this sample assignment.

• Professors feedback:
• We want to create a thesis statement that makes at least three debatable claims related to the character that we are analyzing in this piece.  These are the three claims, or more, that we are then going to develop and prove in the body paragraphs of the  paper using our sources that we will gather in Week 2.    We might consider coming up with three to four adjectives that describe the character.  We can then use these adjectives as a building block. As you continue to work on the project, focus on creating a thesis statement that contains at least three debatable claims related to the character that you are analyzing in this piece based on the prompt.  These are the claims that we are going to prove  in the body paragraphs of our week 3 draft by using the sources that we will gather in week 2.
