Analysis Essay
Project instructions:
For this essay, you will choose a character from one of the stories we have read thus far and compare that character?s life, as depicted in the story, to your own. First, however, you will provide a brief summary of the story. Then you will identify the character you will be analyzing. The thesis of the paper should reflect your idea of how the character changes in the course of the story. To measure how the character changes, you will need to identify the major conflict in the character?s life and whether these are internal or external conflicts (of course, they can be both or a mix of both). Likewise, you will identify what obstacles stand in the way of the character getting what he or she wants, that is how the writer provides complication in the plot. Finally, you will write about how the character resolves the conflict, if such a resolution occurs by the end of the story. Throughout, you will use quotations and paraphrases from the story to support your argument.
The above will comprise approximately the first half of your paper. For the second half, you will compare the character?s story to your own, or to some story you are familiar with in your life. In other words, if it is not your story, it might be the story of a family member or friend that reminds you of the character?s story. For this portion of the paper, you can go into as much detail as you wish, but please do not feel as if you must divulge things you do not wish to divulge. If the two stories do not overlap in every way, that is fine. In other words, if the resolution of the character?s story and the resolution of the story from your life do not compare, then talk about why. The conclusion of the paper should reflect something you have learned or taken away from the comparison.
Three hard copies of the first draft of the paper are due on Tuesday, August 5th. These should be brought to class and they should be between three and four pages in length. A copy of the rough draft should also be uploaded to Blackboard by class time. By uploading the rough draft to Blackboard, you will receive full credit. The final draft of the paper is due by midnight on August 8th.
As always the late policy outlined on the syllabus applies. Your essay should be a Microsoft Word document in 12 point Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1? margins.
Also, you must cite in APA style and include a Reference page.
