One story you have not written about that we have discussed, or one poem we read/will read
I chose La Migra which is attached here.
One literary element (NOT to be confused with literary theories), such as
Theme (specify the theme)
Symbolism (specify the symbol)
Conflict (specify which kind–see conflict comic from my prior notes)
Setting
Tone
Allusion
Any element from the plot (see plot graph), such as Climax or Inciting Incident
Irony (specify which of the four kinds)
Point of view (specify which POV, or unreliable narrator)
Imagery (specify which kind)
Any element related to characterization, such as
epiphany,
fatal flaw,
foil,
flat v. round character,
static v. dynamic character
motivation (explicit or implicit)
Flashback, flash forward, foreshadowing, or falseshadowing
NO OUTSIDE SOURCES – only you, the story/poem, and a literary element
Analysis over summary
Quote strong lines / passages in the body to support thesis
Thesis should integrate literary element to make argument about HOW or WHY it manifests in the story / poem
Organize body by mains point derived from thesis
