ENGL 1302
Literary Analysis Essay
Explore a literary text or texts (poems or short stories on the class list) and analyze how the literary elements work to emphasize or contradict possible interpretations. You will not simply make an observation about how the author uses an element in the text, but tell why the element is interesting, revealing, significant, or strange. Remember analysis is not about “one right answer” but an exploration of multiple meanings and implications.
