Paper details
1. Write a literary analysis convincing the public that the book, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde should/should not be
removed from the school’s reading list and public library shelves. Accurately incorporate evidence from the
text in MLA format for support. (Do not just summarize. A summary should be a very small part of this
analysis. Think about what the book does for readers. What value does it hold, or what value is it missing?
)
DO NOT SUMMARIZE. You will need to use direct quotes to craft a strongly written essay. This means you
will need in-text citations and a work cited page. In order to do this correctly, see the example below. We
soon see Dr. Jekyll mingling with friends again: “Now that the evil influence had been withdrawn, a new life
began for Dr. Jekyll” (Stevenson). Hyde is seemingly out of the picture at this time, which allows Jekyll to
recover his former life.
