The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Earnest Gaines

Read The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Earnest Gaines and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. After reading both novels, choose one of the following themes or issues:

• Loneliness
• Hopes and Dreams
• Dignity and Pride

• The American Dream
• Develop your own theme which you see in both works
After choosing a theme to discuss, find an event from history that relates to your theme. Obvious choices would be the pursuit of the American Dream and the frustration slaves would have endured in not being able to pursue the American Dream. Dig deeper than the obvious. For example, you might find a specific group of immigrants and relate their frustrated American Dream to that of the characters in the novels.

In a five-paragraph essay you should discuss your conclusions about the connections between the two novels and your historical example. You should have an introductory paragraph that introduces the novels, the theme that will be discussed, and the historical connection. The last sentence of this paragraph should be your thesis that ties together the three concepts. Each of the three body paragraphs should discuss ONE of the novels OR the historical event. Each body paragraph that discusses one of the novels should include at least two quotes. The conclusion should bring the paper to a close and make your final arguments about how these three concepts work together.

Your essay should be in 12-point Times New Roman, be double-spaced, and include an MLA heading.
