Write a 2 page essay comparing the speaker in the poem "Invictus" with Equality, the narrator of Anthem. You can use the following as a template or as your thesis statement:
The speaker in Henley's poem "Invictus" and the narrator of Rand's Anthem overcome the obstacles of life to become heroic conquerors.
(If you do not want to use this exact thesis, replace the vivid verbs, adjectives, or nouns to better fit your analysis.)
This is a draft. I know we are working to gain the skills of literary analysis. Try to use embedded quotes-remember quotation sandwiches: provide context, quote your material, offer interpretation. Make sure each body paragraph has a topic sentence. Include an introduction and conclusion. I will grade this draft and return it to you for corrections. This will be a working document.
Try to stay within a 500 word limit. That is about 2 or 2 1/2 pages. You should expect to spend about an hour or, maybe, an hour and a half on this draft.
