In this rolling assignment (which we can consider as your CA2, should it make the mark), we are actually looking to craft your creative ‘proposal’ into a proper academic essay. I have shaped your essay question in such a way to provoke a response that justifies your stylistic choice. For instance, a pair that made Cecil an undercover assassin is likely to argue that Forster presents Cecil as essentially ‘cold blooded’, unfeeling but ultimately capable of ‘developing’ into a ‘more human’ character.

Relevant readings and notes for your consideration. There’s probably more tucked away in the recesses of this blog:

• Notes on Characters
• Notes on Style / Concerns

I would suggest a first draft or outline be completed by Week 5 or the start of Week 6; this will allow me to provide you feedback – written or face-to-face consultation – and you to improve your piece. The deadline I am setting for your  final draft by 17th Feb, Fri (Week 7). Stay tuned because I will be uploading the final essays. I know I can’t wait. Let’s make it worth our while.
