Assignment XX

1: Write a 200 word response on why you picked the literature that you chose. This can be in first person and informal.

d. Another idea you can contrast. Create a topic sentence that can be supported by a full paragraph of analysis and or examples or quotes from the textbook or your research.

In the endings of “The story of an Hour” and “The Necklace,” obviously they are not identical but these two stories are assured to bring about a reaction or stir to the reader.
5. Post your introductory paragraph below. Make sure you catch the reader’s attention, list the titles of the literature and the authors’ names. Your introduction should end with your thesis
