Assignment:

In this five- to seven- page final paper, the student will present a compelling thesis regarding one of the course texts and craft a supporting argument that employs detailed close readings of the text and enters into dialogue with at least one critical source.

I wrote a 5 page essay about The Story of the Treasure Seekers by E. Nesbit. I discussed how Nesbit uses the text to challenge cultural ideologies of her time. This essay may be useful if you need to write about this book or if you need an example of how to close read a text and use critical sources.
