Below are the instructions for the essay assigned in my American Literature course. I selected Kate Chopin’s Novel “The Awakening”, published in 1899, and can be found free online in pdf form. Entire paper length should be 1000 words or more and cohesive.
1. Identify the title and author of the novel and remember that the titles of novels are enclosed in italics. Write a 100 word summary of main events of novel in chronological order. Do not go into detail or analyze in the summary; tell the first thing that happened, the second thing that happened, etc.
