Essay+2

Thematic Analysis: What Does It Mean?
Choose any story we have read this semester (as long as you did not write about it for Essay 1) and **make an argument about its theme**, analyzing how that theme is developed in the story. For example, how do character, conflict, point of view, symbolism, imagery, or any recurring word or phrase contribute to the development of the theme? Do you think the story's theme can be expressed in a strong, clear statement, or is it more indeterminate and ambiguous?

Requirements
3-4 pages, typed, MLA format with works cited page. You must support your argument with evidence from the story, including quotations.
