For your final, 1500-word, paper, you will choose an author we have discussed in class and research his or her biography. Develop and prove how or why the author’s biography influenced his or her writing. Demonstrate how the economic, social, political or familial world the in which the author lived is reflected in the style, setting, language symbolism, characters and tone of his or her written work. The focus should be on the work and showing how this biographical material is demonstrated there; just providing a biographical is not adequate for this assignment.
