Academic Writing: Assignment #5—Paraphrasing a Literary Analysis

*
*
For Assignment #5, please paraphrase “Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin: Language, Emotion and Marriage, a literary analysis (due December 15).

This assignment must be typed (not handwritten). You may submit this electronically, as an attached MSWord .doc or .docx file. IF you have access only to email (and no MS Word processing program), you may submit this in the body of the email, but I prefer an attached file because it makes much less technical work for me.

Please remember to put your name on your document.

Thanks!
