The reading is ‘The Waste Land’ by T.S. Elliot
Each close reading essay should be thesis-driven with a thesis statement that is specific,
arguable, and provocative. Your essays should include any historical, cultural, literary, or textual
context that might be useful for understanding your overall argument. The majority of the
evidence, however, should be taken from the text that you are analyzing; choose something
small to analyze: an image; a metaphor; an instance of repetition; a word; a phrase; a clause; a
sentence or sentence.
Be sure to consistently contextualize and analyze (a.k.a. explicate) all textual evidence. Essays
should follow MLA format, and should be 3-4 pages in length.
