What is a literary research essay:
For this essay you should incorporate outside sources to add to the conversation about some aspect of one of the plays, either Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or Sweat.
You can write about only one literary work and an element, or you may do a comparative analysis (looking at two texts and talking about some theoretical or elemental similarity).
You can also consider comparing adaptations of this play or speculating on what would happen if X element was altered.
There is no one way to write this; I recommend seeing what other people have said about it as well considering your own outside interests.
in text citations and bibliography
Outside research: 1 scholarly source, 1 reliable source (2 sources minimum)
