What It Is to Be a Woman

This week, you will complete your final research paper.

Topic Instructions:

Write an analysis of a certain theme (or other element) that you find in the work of two or more poets. It is probable that in your conclusion you will want to set the poets’ works side by side, comparing or contrasting them, and perhaps making some evaluation. Here is the sample topic you will be looking at:
WHAT  IT IS TO BE A WOMAN: THE SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OF SYLVIA PLATH, ANNE SEXTON, AND ADRIENNE RICH.

This paper will be based on the research resources you compiled for your bibliography in week 7.

Your paper should have a clear claim about the literature you have read this term.

You must use MLA format and include a works cited page.
