Making introductions

By the start of class on Tuesday, please finish drafting an introduction to Essay 1:

• Revise your summary paragraph until it is a thing of great depth and beauty.
• Compose a thesis paragraph that aims to make an argument of genuine insight.

Please do not create new docs for this. Just keep working in your "Essay 1" doc (which should, by now, be properly shared with me).

A few words of advice: (1) Be adventurous. We're trying to develop genuinely original, surprising, even startling interpretations. So push Lynn Hunt's concepts as far as you can take them. It's better to be bold, than safe. (2) Make sure you're analyzing an actual, concrete , specific artifact. You want something you can hold in your hand and/or see with your eyes and/or hear with your eyes, i.e., an actual poem, not the idea of poetry; a particular painting, not the abstract notion of the visual arts.

Good luck!
