Assignment Task:
For this assignment, choose a scholarly critical article from one of the school Library databases (Use: Bloom's Literature - Gilgamesh and the Hero's Journey) that makes a clear argument about any one of the stories you've read for class so far. The article you choose must provide more than basic biographical information and plot summary alone- it must make an opinionated argument about some aspect of the literary work you've read for class. Please summarize the article's main ideas, then evaluate your article's merits-- is the author's thesis interesting? Did you agree with its ideas? Did the author do an effective job proving their argument- why or why not?
Your complete summary/evaluation should be at least 300 words in length and fully address all requirements.
Structure:
- Clearly identify the author's thesis and main points in a brief summary of the article.
- You should then provide an evaluation of these main points and explain how this article's argument is relevant or convincing to you (or not), and why.
