For this paper, you will write a research paper analyzing at least two of the following short stories:
undefined
- “The Yellow Wall-Paper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
- “Alicia” by Gabrielle Roy
- “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allen Poe
undefined
To complete the paper, choose one of the following questions to answer:
undefined
How do the stories represent mental health/mental illness similarly or differently?
undefined
How do the stories represent different views of mental health based on biological sex or gender?
undefined
How do the stories use their narrators/narration? How are their narrators used to represent the conflict between the individual and society surrounding mental health issues?
undefined
undefined
The paper should offer a clear thesis that directly answers the research question, and then it should develop that answer using at least four secondary sources and concrete passages from the stories in the body paragraphs. Though the Internet may offer some research, you will want to explore the Literature Resource Center database, as well as some of the library’s other resources, for credible scholarly sources.
