Essay Analyzing Literary Elements
Choose a text different from the one you wrote about in your other essay. For this essay you will analyze a literary element or elements in a text or compare the way an element or elements work in two texts. For example, you could analyze Edna as a character in The Awakening or compare Edna & Blanche as characters in The Awakening and A Streetcar Named Desire. You could analyze the relation of setting to plot, point of view in any of the fiction, or compare the way different writers present New Orleans. You may choose what you would like to analyze. I suggest beginning with a question about the element or elements you plan to analyze and read again passages that are pertinent to your question, then draw a conclusion from your analysis of the passages, which will be your thesis. Decide how to organize your essay to support your thesis and write your essay. Your essay should have a clear thesis, based on your analysis of the text, and any research you do. You should include examples from the text to support your thesis, and, if you choose, research to help you support your thesis. If you use research, cite sources that you researched according to MLA style. You should organize your essay clearly and effectively. You should proofread your essay to make sure that your writing is clear and correct. Your essay should be 3-4 pages long.[unique_solution]
