Pick TWO of the following texts: Comfort Woman, M. Butterfly, Fun Home
For this research paper, you will use the library database to find at least 3 scholarly
articles on the texts. Remember that the sources MUST be scholarly sources from
the database and should engage literary criticism specifically about the literary
texts.
Again, you are NOT writing a paper that delves into biography or time period or
history nor are you writing a sociology or political science paper; your objective is
literary analysis of the text.
1. Your essay MUST be a full 5 pages at minimum to pass (that is with 1-inch
margins, no additional spaces, TNR 12-point font, etc.); this is NOT including the
works cited page.
2. Your essay MUST be MLA compliant and free of mechanical/grammatical errors.
3. You want to be sure to avoid plagiarism. (Remember that this includes
“borrowing” ideas.)
4. Review the rubric; you are expected to engage in analysis (which means you do
not want to summarize the texts).
Remember you must participate in the process (in addition to meeting all the
requirements listed here and on the rubric) to pass the paper. (Discussion board
posts regarding the thesis and summaries, peer reviews, drafts, etc.)
ALSO, when you upload the Research Paper under COURSE MATERIALS, please
