Write an analysis of a theme in the following short story:
Tillie Olsen I Stand Here Ironing
Your thesis should reflect three points (aspects of theme) that you are going to focus on in your paper. Another approach to thematic analysis is to illustrate three methods by which an author develops a theme.
Quote liberally from the short story (citing in-text MLA style). Look up how to quote short prose passages as well as how to block longer passages of prose. Remember to introduce each quote with an independent clause (followed by a colon); the introduction to a quote provides you with an opportunity to state an opinion and make clear why the quote is significant.
You will need a works cited page (MLA format) in which you cite the short story.
You are to use only TWO sources for this paperthe short story itself AND one peer-reviewed article from a scholarly database from the my school Library Databases (such as JSTOR Academic Search Complete or ProQuest). The article should be either a critique of the short story or a discussion of themes in the works of the writer of that short story.
The link to my school library databases will be provided below inside the zip raralong with the story and should include this citation to be placed at the end
