Read Frankenstein, 34-65

Blog post (due Monday at 11:59 p.m.; approx. 300 words; please include your name and the post number [#7] in your subject line):

Review the assignment sheet for the paper proposal for your final paper.
Choose the literary text that you would like to write about. Then, using what you learned about “reading with a focus” during last Thursday’s class, start browsing to get a sense of what’s been said about that text. (Our class research guide is a great place to start. You might also want to look through your old posts to see what topics you’ve already been writing about.)

For your post:
1. Choose one scholarly source that you find particularly interesting and include a link to it in your post.
2. In your own words, provide a summary of the author’s argument.
3. Choose one critic that the author uses. Does she/he extend or refute the critic’s claims?
4. How might you use the article to develop an angle for your own paper?

Note: You don’t necessarily have to commit to a paper topic for this post. The goal here is for you to get a sense of what the conversation is and start to think about how you might jump into the conversation.
