Essay Instructions:

Submit an outline of your Final Paper by Friday, May 28, at 11:59 p.m. If you do so, you will receive extra credit on your overall course grade. Yay!!!
The outline should include a thesis statement, topic sentences / potential evidence for your body paragraphs, and a couple sentences suggesting how you’ll conclude. I'll provide some feedback so that you can feel more confident when you sit down to write the Final Paper.
There is no prompt for the Final Paper. You are expected to choose your own topic and develop your own argument. You are not allowed to expand upon / revise your first paper. The Final Paper must be original work, and it must bring at least two memoirs / films into dialogue with each other, including at least one memoir / film from the second half of class.
A good essay will be thesis-driven and argumentative. It will not be summary (which should be limited to a few sentences), but an in-depth analysis that relates the works to each other and the worlds in which they were produced.
A good essay could explore any number of themes touched on this quarter – shifting identities, religious beliefs, remembering, forgetting, metaphors, symbolism, narrative techniques, selfhood, psychology, families, cities, spaces, theories of trauma, etc. etc. Just make sure always to relate your arguments to the French Jewish experience / experiences as communicated by the memoirs, films, and secondary sources.
