(You may also analyze antagonist characters and supporting characters, if you wish to focus on someone other than the protagonist). Compare \/ contrast the characters, considering their personality, choices, and outcomes. You may wish to analyze each story\u2019s use of one or more literary elements (for example: hubris, climax, symbolism, or epiphany).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Argue whether or not readers can gain any valuable \u201clife lessons.&#8221; Should readers embrace or reject the message(s) from each story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typed \/ Double Spaced \/ MLA Format<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the upcoming Drama Analysis, students&nbsp;<strong>WILL NOT<\/strong>&nbsp;include research. For this paper, I am more interested in your interpretation, rather than the opinions of critics, scholars, and Sparknotes. Generate original interpretations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Length: 2000 words (minimum)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Be academic in tone &amp; style: Do not use personalized phrases such as: &#8220;I think,&#8221; &#8220;I believe,&#8221; or &#8220;In my opinion&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Those phrases minimize the persuasiveness of your argument.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Investigate the little things. Analyze the more subtle moments and character choices, and you might discover fascinating ways to interpret each story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Don&#8217;t over summarize. You are not retelling the story. Assume your reader has read the material. Now, you will persuade the reader to view the story and its messages from a certain perspective.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) Remember: You don&#8217;t need to agree with the messages of these stories. Feel free to be critical.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) There are a few super-short stories that I don\u2019t want you to choose: \u201cGirl\u201d by Jamaica Kincaid, \u201cVolar,\u201d by Judith Ortiz Cofer, \u201cThe Story of an Hour\u201d by Kate Chopin, \u201cThe Memory Priest of the Creech People\u201d by Paul Theroux, and \u201cCurrents\u201d by Hannah Voskuil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I already chose two stories which are &#8220;The Chrysanthemums&#8221;
