Write on short (300-500 word) literary analysis essay based on one of our course readings so far.
When writing a literary analysis, your job is to explore the way literature works, what it means, or how and why it has the emotional impact it does.
To be more specific: for a short essay, focus on one specific attribute of your text — i.e., character, theme, setting, point of view, alliteration, symbols, imagery, figurative language, and so forth. When discussing these attributes, make sure that you state a specific, arguable point (thesis) about them.
You should demonstrate this point with reasons and evidence drawn from the text.
