Literary essay ideas in American and Gothic Literature
Quite often, a student is left to evaluate a piece of literature and then choose a topic for an essay. That essay is dependent upon the class in which the piece of literature is taught. Essays can range from women's issues, both past and present, as it relates from the literary text to an essay that is targeted to a specific, generic topic such as characterization, plot, theme, or setting. A literary text that contains many topics for essay writing in the area of American literature is William Faulkner's "A Rose For Emily."
