Description

For this topic, you need to devise a clear thesis that makes an argument based on specific details from the story that specifically support and develop your thesis. Do not discuss the author or the author’s biography. This information is not relevant for any of the topics and including it will result in a lower grade. Although you do need, of course, to clearly introduce the story by title and mention the author’s name, following that you will need to get right to the argument about the story you are presenting and to the evidence taken directly from the story that supports that argument.

Topic:
In the short story “Bernice Bobs her Hair” and the movie “The Great Gatsby,” the protagonists seem to be obsessed with making distinctions between people based on appearances and social class. Discuss the relationship of these obsessions to the experiences they undergo.

URGENT: MUST WATCH GREAT GATSBY AND READ BERNICE BOBS HER HAIR.
ONLY LITERARY ESSAY, NO PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE AND NO OPINION BASED ESSAY.
WRITER SHOULD FOCUS ON.

1. SYMBOLS AND SETTINGS
2. CHARACTER ANALYSIS (dialogue, hidden irony, foreshadowing)
3. CONFLICT (internal/external)
   4.. either compare or contrast (for example: the great gatsby was poor and bernice was rich)
