I think some people found the last assignment a little two complicated, so we're going in a simpler direction for next week. Ask questions earlier, rather than later!
Make an argument addressing this question: is true change possible in The House of the Seven Gables? The question is simple; here's the complicated part. You must display detailed knowledge of the text, both citing numerous passages in defense of your position and, just as importantly, imagining and responding to at least one counterargument to your position.
Your concept of "change" should be clearly defined and focused: for instance, you might focus on cultural or political change, or you might mean something even more precise.
Finally - and here's the catch - you should give some indication as to why, as readers of The House of the Seven Gables we should care about the answer you give - how does it effect our understanding of the book (so far) as a whole?
