Write
an essay of at least 750 words (3 pages) in which you analyze a some
aspect of the story like character, setting, point of view, issue, or
theme. Use the techniques from Writing Analytically, Chapters 1-4,8 in
order to generate your significant details from the text and your
interpretation of them. Your approach should be analytical. More
effective essays will have sufficient evidence from the text being
analyzed. Use the Method described in Chapter 2, WA to generate
significant details from the text to analyze.
Focus your analysis on only one
story. Note that the audience for your essay is someone who has not
read the text that you are analyzing; therefore you should include
enough background, description and summary of the text that you are
analyzing so that one can understand what you are trying to analyze.
At
the end of your essay write at least one healthy paragraph describing
what you attempted to do in your essay and a description of your
thinking and writing process for coming up with the topic and approach
the writing task ( a reflection of your writing process).
