Literary Analysis Essay Prompt

In a 1,000-1,250 (4-5 page) fiction response essay, respond to the following prompt. Your essay should be in MLA format, make use of support from the story or stories chosen (using quotation, summary and/or paraphrase) and should include citations in-text and on a Works Cited page.

Remember to avoid summarizing a story instead, focus on answering the question(s) and explaining why the quotes and passages youve chosen are significant. You do not need to consult research or outside sources for this paper.

Prompt: Write an essay examining how a text (short story or poem) of your choosing makes a statement about a social issue (class, race, gender, ageism, cultural identity). What claim does the story seem to be making? How does it use literary devices to illustrate its point? Is the text speaking to a specific audience or society? How does the text show this?

Remember: Use professional writing. Do not use personal pronouns like “you”, “us”, “our”, etc. Instead, use “individuals” or “society”.

Notes: The Fiction Essay

Write a second, one-paragraph summary of a current, authoritative article that directly answers your research question. The source should be different from the one you used in Discussion 5, and it should focus on another answer to your question (not the same main idea or emphasis as your source in Discussion 5). Your paragraph should be 6-more sentences, including at least one quote, and correctly cited the source APA style.

In the first sentence of the summary paragraph, give the title, author(s), and date of publication along with a sentence in your own voice that paraphrases the thesis. In the remaining sentences, emphasize only the main ideas that apply to your topic, and do not include details from the study like the methodology, statistics, or any numbers. Focus only on ideas; don’t include details or specifics from the article.
