Critical Analysis Essay: You will write a 3 page critical analysis essay over one of the short stories we read for class. In the essay, you will identify an ethical and/or cultural problem or conflict that allows for different interpretive decisions. Your essay should present a clear, coherent, and well-written argument that draws on evidence from the story to support its claims. It should also show how the essential elements of short fiction (plot, character, theme, and setting) contribute to the meanings of the story. Finally, you must use at least one secondary source. This source should be an article-length work of literary criticism, history, or theory that helps you articulate your ideas and contextualize your argument. More detailed instructions will be provided as we progress through the course.
