Are you building on another argument, offering additional substantiation? Or are you disagreeing with the argument and proposing an alternate reading?

Assignment Question

Make a thesis-driven argument about any of the texts we have discussed in class and use at least one critical source to do so. Like the close reading essay, you should pay attention to narrative, tone, rhythm, imagery, word choice, characterization, symbolism, and anything else that strikes you as notable. Unlike the close reading essay, you will be responding to past scholarship. Are you building on another argument, offering additional substantiation? Or are you disagreeing with the argument and proposing an alternate reading? Perhaps your essay adjusts or amends your critical source without entirely discrediting it.
