Essay Topics

1. Susan Glaspell and Eugene O’Neill are credited with the creation of an authentic American drama. (McMichael & Leonard, 2011, p. 1708). Choose from The Hairy Ape and create a well-written essay arguing how the story or characters in the play are authentic to the American experience. What aspect of the American experience do they portray? You need only choose one aspect and argue it well with examples from the play. However, you should use multiple literary elements to support your argument.

Creating a Viable Thesis
The thesis will tell your reader what to expect in your essay. Keep in mind, your arguments in your essay must center on the literature you are studying. Rather than use a biographical focus, your essay must explore literary elements.
