Your Assignment:

Compare and contrast "The Home and The World" and "The Death of Ivan Ilyich." Explain how they had an emotional impact on war. How are the literary works similar and/or different? Be sure to include direct quotes from the works to support your analysis.

For the research you complete, you must include at least two sources on each literary work. Do not simply repeat what someone else has concluded; instead, offer your own commentary or insight on what you have learned from your outside sources. You must also properly quote or paraphrase, including citations in MLA form.

Your essay should present a clear, insightful central idea, should have a clear sense of order and logic, should be well developed with specific details to support your assertions, and should use effective language that is free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Avoid plot summaries and provide quotations from the text to support your ideas. Also, it is suggested that you spend ample time writing and revising your essay.
