“Two Beginnings”
Write the first page of a literary analysis essay on any aspect of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) that has caught your attention—you must then write a second, alternative beginning to that same essay.
In other words, this assignment challenges you to envision, organize, and begin writing the same essay, twice.
Each start is capped at one page (Times New Roman, 12 point, double spaced), should be carefully proofread, and follow MLA style in-text citation guidelines.
Each essay-start will share a main, argumentative claim that should be placed as the last sentence of your introductory paragraph. In other words, each essay-start will make the same argument, but introduce and present that argument differently.
Write the first page of a literary analysis essay on any aspect of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1818) that has caught your attention.
