Single Character Analysis

Single Character Analysis
Now that you have observed the attributes of the characters in the short
stories “A&P” and “Greasy Lake,” write a character-analysis essay in which
you analyze one major or minor character from any short story in Chapter 21: “Fiction
for further reading.” Use specific language from Chapters 14 and 17 when
crafting your analysis. What “type” of character are you analyzing? How
are language and the style/tone of the story used to formulate the
character? Is the story reflective of the character, or the character of
the story? How would a reader from another country or culture potential draw
different conclusions about the characters in these stories? Your response
should be 3-4 pages.
For a successful paper:
·
Have a strong
thesis statement at the end of your introduction paragraph.
·
Use a “hook” in
the introduction paragraph to grab your readers’ attention.
·
Use specific
textual support from the short story in the body of your paper.
·
Finish with a
strong conclusion that summarizes your main points, restates the thesis in some
way, and possibly returns to the initial “hook.”
·
Proofread for
errors in spelling, grammar, and writing mechanics. Vary sentence structure and
sentence length to add interest.
·
Use APA
formatting
·
Use APA when citing
the text; include a reference page citation at the end of the paper for the
short story in the anthology
