Synthesis essay

Many of the texts we have discussed this year in English class address the idea of social hierarchy (whether it be gender, class, race, or even within a family dynamic). 

How do these social hierarchies present themselves in relationships in the texts and support the meaning of the work as a whole? 

Issues to explore may include but are not limited to, parent child relationships, greed, power and love.

Your thesis-driven essay must synthesize a total of THREE of the texts we have read this year. 
ONE text must be from the first semester 
and ONE must be Jane Eyre. 
The third text can be chosen from either semester.
