Write an essay in which you identify a significant idea about duality expressed in Carver’s short story “Cathedral”. The essay will follow the guidelines for academic writing and include an introduction with thesis, 3 body paragraphs with proofs, and a conclusion (total of 5 developed paragraphs). The essay will demonstrate correct MLA format and documentation (in-text citations and references in the end). Base the essay ONLY on your analysis of this short story and in-class discussions, NO other sources allowed. The thesis statement needs to express a specific idea about Duality, not just a restatement of the essay topic. You can focus writing on the story’s particular use of fictional elements and literary devices (USE LITERARY TERMS). It is expected that the reading of Carver’s story will be influenced by the context of texts and ideas and approaches we have studied this semester (in Oedipus the King, there was a blind prophet named Tiresias, you could write a connection paragraph to connect with the blind man in this short story). A one-page outline is required, outline form is included at the end of this document.
