ASSIGNMENT
Novel: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass – Frederick Douglass
Step 1: Find, Identify, and Evaluate
In this assignment, you will write an expository essay in which you find, identify, and evaluate the chosen novel using a historical, cultural, or rhetorical standpoint in the analysis.
Choose one of these analyses and make a specific argument and main ideas and find evidence utilizing the novel and at least (3) outside scholarly resources to support the claims.
The essay should be a minimum of 400 words not counting the cover page, notes, footnotes, endnotes, or the bibliography page.
Using the novel you chose, write an expository essay in which you explain its historical, cultural, rhetorical context.
Note: Do not just summarize the novel’s events; the main focus should be analyzing your chosen method, making a claim, and supporting it with the novel and outside resources, then analyzing it in your own words.
