Fiction Essay Directions

Compose an essay that has analyzed the topic below. The essay must be MLA styled and 4-6 pages (1000-1500 words). Your audience members have read the story, so do not summarize the plot. You are required to use research for this essay. You must not, however, use biographical information for the author. Your essay must follow the standard academic form: introduction with a “hook” and a specific thesis statement, body paragraphs that support the thesis, and a conclusion that offers final thoughts. Your title cannot be the same as the title of the story. Review the course syllabus for plagiarism reminders and policies.

Primary source(s): You must cite the literature using MLA styling. Literature entries must appear on the Works Cited page. In-text parenthetical citations must be properly used in the body of the essay.

Research: 3-5 sources from GALILEO and/or a reputable research source from the library (Google searches, Wikipedia, Schmoop, Cliffs Notes, etc. are not reputable sources). Additionally, the course textbook includes literary criticism for several stories. Research may not be limited to the story/stories you choose, rather it can focus on how the author uses a specific theme or literary device in his/her larger body of work. Literary criticism entries must appear on the Works Cited page. In-text parenthetical citations must be properly used in the body of the essay.

Topic:

• Explore the conflict, climax, and resolution of one story and how one or two main characters are affected by these elements. In order to avoid plot summary, you should consider the larger ramifications that the conflict, climax, and resolution have on the character(s).

Story:
