Choose a short story that we’ve read (or will read) from the anthology used in class (with the exception of those used in sample papers) and write a critical analysis of that particular work. Be careful not to summarize the story or only offer a biography of the author. Focus instead on analytical aspects (literary elements, such as characterization and symbolism) and explain ideas clearly. What elements seem to dominate the story? How do these elements affect the story? Remember to find a story that you enjoyed or that caught your attention in some way. Use brief quotes from the work to support your comments.
The Requirements:
Do not use research. This assignment needs to be focused on your analysis of the work, not someone else’s. The essay needs to be 4-6 pages in length, typed, double-spaced, following MLA format. The essay will be due Week 7, March 22, 2018.
