Please note below the attached instructions regarding the literary analysis essay that you are required to write as a concluding assessment of our study. The blank Google doc is where you will actually type and submit your essay. 

Following the short constructive response formula (TS / GE / TE / EP / Repeat GE, TE, and EP / Repeat GE, TE,  and EP / CS), answer the following question:

What evidence suggests that sharp divisions or conflicts exist among the people of Salem? Reference at least three divisions or conflicts amongst this Puritan sect. 

Please note: You will need a general explanation, textual evidence, and expansion of point for each of the three divisions that you note. This means that your short constructive response will be a minimum of 11 sentences if written properly. You are also expected to highlight and label each sentence to verify that you have each component of a thorough constructed response. I have noted the formula in the attached Google document and have also noted the colors you will highlight for your typed response to identify each component.
