PROJECT: "THE FALLACY OF SUCCESS" - ANNOTATION AND ANALYSIS ESSAY

Your first task is to re-read “The Fallacy of Success,” this time annotating the text as you go.

By the time you finish your reading and annotations, you should be able to clearly summarize the essay and the claims Chesterton makes. Use the original text of the article, your annotations, and your summary notes to identify two claims that G. K. Chesterton makes in his essay. Now that you have identified two claims to focus on, re-read the text and your annotations a final time, specifically focusing on exactly how Chesterton develops each claim (to focus your attention even more, you may wish to re-read the article twice: one for each claim).

After you have completed the above tasks, you are ready to write your essay. Write an analytical essay of at least 750 words, in which you identify two central claims in "The Fallacy of Success," detailing how the author develops these claims. Your essay should include strong textual support, specific details, and a clear introduction and conclusion. Additionally, you should follow MLA guidelines for in-text citations and a works cited page. Click here to view the MLA Style Guide.
