A Mans Woman review
Order Description
Directions:
Develop your own argument (BELOW) about a single topic in the following American literature long works: a) Frank Norris’ A Man’s Woman; Your topic should be something that cannot be discerned from a first-time, surface reading of the novel; must be completely original; and must be focused, narrow and manageable.
The topic is male superiority for a "A Man's Woman", At first glance the novel seems to be a romantic love story but when you dig deeper and analyze the meaning, you see how Bennette's size, strength and brutal appearance is not only a physical attribute it is an emotional one. His pride and arrogance takes on its own plot with the relationship with Llyod.
A couple of requirements for this assignment are listed below. Your final grade will be deducted if any of these requirements aren’t fulfilled.
1) All references must be from the edition used in class A Man’s Woman: online via Project Gutenberg). The page numbers for quotations should match the exact edition
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/16096/16096-h/16096-h.htm
2) You must use at least one piece of direct textual evidence per body paragraph. That piece of evidence, in support of your argumentative claim, must be correctly cited and subsequently paraphrased.
(one grade penalty if not done).
3a) One secondary source must be incorporated into the essay. If you choose the Norris novel, use something from Ernest Marchand’s biography Frank Norris: A Study (1942). The book is a google e-book; you can either do a search on the lefthand side for “A Man’s Woman” or just use a general theoretical principle of Marchand’s in relation to the book.

don’t consult any): a) edition of your chosen novel, b) the first outside source (the required article)
