Audience: Your target audience is your teacher and other ENG 102 class members, so assume that your audience has already read the literary work in question – i.e. you do NOT have to give a lengthy detailed plot summary of the work.

Length: Your paper should be five paragraphs or more Times New Roman 12-point font. (800-1000 words length requirement.)

Advice: Focus your paper on a limited number of points – that is don’t try to discuss all the literary elements of the work–then proceed to explain, support, and illustrate these limited number of interpretive points in-depth, as clearly, effectively, and specifically as you can.

**As this is an analytical paper, you need to analyze the meaning of the drama by utilizing quotations or evidentiary facts from the text to back up your ideas. It is imperative that you use at least one citation in each paragraph to support your opinions and ideas. You may use additional quotations as needed, but please be sure to explain the connection of the evidence.

Avoid Summary: You must not simply summarize the events in the text. Assume your audience is an intelligent, college-level reader who has already read the work. At most, your summary should be limited to a paragraph or two–if it’s necessary at all. Pick one or two specific lines that you feel are pivotal in understanding one literary aspect of the work. This literary aspect might be connotation, diction, or any other rhetorical device (anything we‘ve discussed is fine). Fashion an argument explaining why these lines are vital to the work as a whole when it comes to understanding that literary aspect.

The fiber is a compound of several longitudinally glued and nailed wood fibers (Robbins, 2019). The arrangement ensures strength and durability. Notably, Europe is advancing in wood construction. They treat carbon12 as a new dawn for resolving the Carbon emission problem experienced with steel production and concrete use. Notably, Crabon12 fiber is, therefore, a strong material and a carbon sink. Carbon12 fiber will solve construction safety issues and environmental challenges.
