Write your analysis focusing on one of the following elements from one of the assigned short stories:

*Character
*Theme
*Symbolism
*Imagery
*Setting
*Point of view

Write an in-depth analytical essay using your own ideas plus supporting evidence from the text, such as quotations, paraphrases, and summaries, remembering that quoted material should never exceed 25% of the essay.

Next, develop an introduction that states your original thesis (main claim) and briefly describes the story and author you will be discussing.

The body of your essay should support and defend this thesis with specific evidence taken from the text that you discuss thoroughly and thoughtfully. Remember that no more than 25% of the essay can consist of direct quotations.

Your essay should end with a concluding paragraph or two, summarizing the key points of your paper and explaining the significance of your interpretation.

Apply APA rules of style to source citations as well as the overall formatting of your essay. Be sure to include a title page and a References page.
