Question: In a four- to five-page essay, examine how place influences the narrative arcs in Frankenstein and A Gathering of Old Men. Do Shelley and Gaines treat place in similar ways? If so, how? If not, what defines their different approaches to place within the larger stories? Between the two novels, which place (i.e., the University of Ingolstadt; Okrney; Geneva; the Arctic; the Marshall Plantation; Mount Zion Cemetery; the LSU campus; Tee Jack’s bar; etc.) has the most profound impact on storytelling and why?

Guidelines

Do not use outside sources. Only use the materials provided in our class. The paper must be submitted through the Turnitin tool, which is enabled here. I will be looking closely at AI usage. The paper is to consist of your words, thoughts, and analysis not those of others.

Your essay must have in-text citations based on your preferred style (MLA, APA, Chicago). See this resource for details and examples of in-text citations: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/resources.html Links to an external site.

Do not provide a title page or works cited page at the end of your essay. When I speak of MLA, APA, and Chicago styles, I am referring primarily to the use of citations within the paper.

Do not use first person. Write only in the third person.

Work diligently to stay in the active voice rather than devolving into excessive use of passive voice. To stay in the active voice as much as possible, use strong action verbs and make sparing use of forms of “to be” (was, were).

Use italics for titles of novels.
