Take as many of the works that we have studied after the midterm into account as possible when addressing the prompt. It is not only important to discuss the work itself, but equally critical to discuss authorship, patronage and audience. Please make sure to include an MLA works cited page.

Necessarily, you will discuss how the content of their work aligns with their style as well.
