Essay #3
Since you have probably already written a number of essays on assigned topics in other English courses, and since many of you have brought up provocative ideas in our discussions, I would like each of you to develop your own topic. I have only one restriction- that you focus on one or two of the the last three works: Crimes of the Heart, ‘night, Mother, and Driving Miss Daisy.

4. Do not fell that you have to stick to my interests or that have to rely on lecture and discussion notes for the content of your paper.
5. Organize your material effectively and make sure that your main point is a point worth making-that it is clear, strong, and adequately developed in your paper. Recall that a of who, what, when, where.

7. Use the present tense. Also, give your paper a little that reflects your central concern-e.g. "The legacy of Suicide in Beth Henley's Crimes of the Heart
