Pick ONE of the essay topics
below for your paper. USE TWO OUTSIDE SOURCES!!!
1)
Discuss the role of PTSD in “A Perfect Day for
Bananafish.” This would require some research into PTSD and comparing it to
what we see from Seymour in the story. Use examples from the texts along with
outside sources to support your thesis.
2)
How does Nawabdin change over the course of his
story? What is like in the first half of the story and what/why does he change
in the second half? How does this complicate your view of him as a character?
Use examples from the texts along with outside sources to support your thesis.
3)
Explain how the main character from at least two of
the stories: “Nawabdin,” “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” and The Castaway change over the course of their respective
stories. Use examples from the texts along with outside sources to support your
thesis.
AVOID USING DIRECT QUOTES IN YOUR INTRODUCTION OR
CONCLUSION.
Do not retell the story! Analyze and explain your
thesis (which is your main point).
Quote the stories we read and your two outside
sources/
Read over your work. Have someone else read over
