In The Shipping News, one will take notice of the author’s central theme and plot. Consider one of these topics, while paying attention to the writer’s development of character or place. Write a four to six page essay that analyzes Annie Proulx’s lasting piece of literature with special attention to the use of literary devices. For this essay, three pages of actual writing is enough work. Make sure to include no less than 2 sources from the book. The fourth page can be your works cited page, which might only include reference to the book we’ve been reading in class. If you feel like you have more to say, go on. Write more. But be certain to use MLA standards for your paper, citing pages from the text when you quote or reference the work. Your paper should be typed and double-spaced. Your cited works section will make up the final page of this essay.
