Fiction Analysis Essay

Write an essay of 750-850 words in which you identify how the author of one of the assigned short stories uses three specific literary devices in order to convey his or her theme (or themes).

To help you, I am providing a sample thesis statement, which you are free to use, although it is not required.

 

Sample Thesis Statement:

In (Author’s Name)___’s short story, (Title)___, he/she uses (literary device 1)__, (literary device 2)___, and (literary device 3)___ in order to convey the theme(s) of (theme(s) of the story)__.

 

Of course, this provides you with the opportunity to focus on each literary device chosen in each of your three body paragraphs. 

So, your essay will look something like this:

I. Intro…

   Thesis Statement (final sentence of your Intro paragraph)

II. Body Paragraph 1 (discuss how 1st chosen literary device helps convey theme)

III. Body Paragraph 2 (discuss how 2nd chosen literary device helps convey theme)

IV. Body Paragraph 3 (discuss how 3rd chosen literary device helps convey theme)

V. Conclusion
