Prompt: Select one (The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe) to analyze. In your analysis, identify at least one (but could be up to three) Gothic techniques that are used in the story (see the link on Bb, unit 4, to Donna M. Campbell’s brief breakdown of the tradition)(http://public.wsu.edu/~campbelld/amlit/novel.htm) . Then offer an analysis of how the technique advances the meaning of the story (or stories).
Remember that the critical approaches to literature as described in chapter 44 (1444) and the literary terms defined throughout our anthology are there to help deepen your analysis. In addition, for this assignment, you will use research to advance your argument. Your final essay needs to be thesis-driven (debatable with thesis as the final sentence of the introduction) and be a complete five pages, but no more than eight. Include an annotated works cited at the end of your essay (these pages do not count toward your page requirements).
Requirements:
Thesis-driven with a debatable thesis at the end of the introduction
Summary used only in the introduction or as context setting up evidence
Exact quotes as evidence

An annotated works cited is first a works cited. Beneath each source, offer a summary followed by at least two sentences explaining how you will plan on using the source (for DQs) or how you used the source (final draft); end your annotation with at least two sentences explaining why you selected this source over other sources. Your entire document should be double spaced and be in MLA format.
5-8 pages (not including the works cited)
Incorporate research to advance your thesis: Use at least four scholarly, peer-reviewed sources; you may use other sources as needed
