Write a 3 page essay that is a comparison between two stories. You may choose as your subject any story on the list of Short Stories, Reading Selection EXCEPT:
“The Elephant in the Village of the Blind”
“Hills Like White Elephants”
Focus on how the author uses language (diction, syntax) symbolism, characters, point of view, or theme. SHOW HOW EACH AUTHOR USES THE ELEMENT YOU ARE DISCUSSING.
Do not summarize the plot of the stories.
I recommend starting with the phrase,” In the short story, (title) ” and then introduce your specific argument that focuses only on the stories you are analyzing.
Finally, show what is revealed by comparing the two stories.
Focus on HOW the author uses the element and WHY it is important in the story. What is the effect of this? How would the story be different if the author had made a different decision? Why is this specific element important in the story?
The post “The Elephant in the Village of the Blind” first appeared on COMPLIANT PAPERS.
