Take any concept from Thomas Foster’s Book and apply it to a Dubliner’s Story in an analytic, thesis centered essay. Get at a central meaning of the story as revealed through the particular literary technique you’ve selected from Foster’s book.
Cite all sources in MLA style. Minimum 3 sources beyond primary texts of Joyce and Foster. If you do not cite sources properly and consistently utilizing MLA in-text citations and a proper Works Cited table, you may fail for plagiarism. Submission of papers generated by CHAT GPT are surprisingly easy to detect –
Thesis example: Thomas Foster writes “Weather is never just weather. It’s never just rain” (70) and this is true of James Joyce’s use of snow in his short story “The Dead,” where Gabriel Conroy realizes the snow falling all over Ireland is a metaphor for the death that eventually will equalize all his relatives, himself, his friends and all Irish citizens, past and present.
