ENG 125 Week 2

ENG 125 Week 2 Assignment Theme and Narrative Elements

a. Describe what the theme of the short story is, using Chapter Seven of the text as a reference.

b. Identify at least two of the literary elements in the short story that contribute to the theme (e.g., plot, point of view, tone, setting, character, symbolism, etc.), providing an example of each element.

c. Explain how the selected literary elements affect the narrative theme

Your paper should be organized around a thesis statement that focuses on how the literary elements contribute to the larger narrative theme.

The paper must be two to four pages in length (excluding the title and reference page), and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least two scholarly resources (at least one of which can be found in the Ashford Online Library) other than the textbook to support your claims and subclaims. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page.

Discussion Questions

Analyzing Point of View.

Chapter Five discusses the importance of point of view in literature and, more specifically, in the short story. Choose one short story from the course text about which you have not yet written, and analyze it in terms of point of view. When writing your post, consider the following questions

a. How would you categorize the point of view [e.g., first-person, second-person (i.e., you), third-person limited, third-person omniscient]?

b. Is the point of view consistent throughout the story (told from the same perspective), or does it shift at any points in the narrative? (If so, make note of when and how those changes occur.)

c. How does point of view shape your reading of the work? In what ways does it contribute to or detract from your reading of the work?

d. How does point of view relate to the storys themes or content?

Symbolism in the Short Story.

Chapter Seven explores the role of symbols in conveying literary themes. Themes are abundant in literary works (though they are at some times more obvious than at others). Select one short story from the reading assignments (from either Week One or Week Two) to examine more closely in relation to symbolism. Consider the storys overall theme(s) and use of images as well as how these two relate to one another. You may choose to explore one single recurring symbol, or you may discuss multiple symbols and how they relate to one another.

At the beginning of your post, identify (a) the literary work that you will analyze and (b) the theme(s) that is/are most relevant to the symbolism you will explore.
