What is enlightment, Paper Prospectus assignment help
The prospectus should include the following:
1. A list of the three primary texts you’re going to analyze and which of the three topics you’re going to tackle in the paper.
2. A working thesis for the paper that clearly sets out your argument and interpretation of the three works. This thesis may change as you finish the paper, but I want to see your direction and how you’re going to approach your topic.
3. Annotations for four potential sources drawn from the MLA Bibliography. Each annotation should include the full MLA-style bibliographic information and a paragraph of several sentences that includes a summary of the source and a sense of how it might be useful for your paper.
See attached assignment for full details.
