Your essay should contain an argumentative thesis statement about the text(s) you have 
chosen. In your close reading and analysis, you should always rely on careful, “close” 
reading of the text to support your point alongside your engagement with other scholars 
writing about some element of the key topic and/or text(s)! Close reading specifically refers to the way we read and write to understand what a passage means. Close reading is 
detailed and thorough: you should not only summarize what you have read in support of 
your specific claim/question/observation, but also look at more subtle choices the author 
makes in a passage (tone, diction, imagery, etc.).
