IMPORTANT: Below are the exact same instructions provided in the Information document for the final exam. I’m simply repeating the instructions here for your reference. Identify one assigned author from Unit 3, The Restoration and the 18th Century, whose ideas about social problems and/or societal reform you believe are still relevant today. You may discuss multiple assigned texts by this author, or you may focus on one assigned text. Write a literary argument that thoughtfully and thoroughly answers these three questions: How do the author’s texts engage with a specific social issue or societal problem of his or her time period? How does the author demonstrate or define social responsibility within his or her historical context? How are the author’s themes/arguments about social responsibility or societal reform still relevant to readers today? In addition to answering the above questions, your essay should follow these guidelines: Analyze the literature; don’t just summarize it. State your thesis at the end of the introduction paragraph. Write two or three well-developed body paragraphs. For this essay, the introduction and conclusion paragraphs may be fairly brief. Provide textual evidence to support all of your claims. Cite all quotations and paraphrases with in-text citations in correct MLA style. However, for this essay only, you do not need a Works Cited page. Present your own ideas. All secondary source material is prohibited (as is all use of AI). Edit your essay for clarity. However, I understand in-class writing will not be perfect. The essay should be approximately 600 to 800 words in length. Believe in yourself: You have practiced this all semester. You are capable of writing this essay!
