CONSTRUCTING YOUR ESSAY
Remember, the focus of this essay is analysis, not simply relaying the events that happened in the story.
While it may be necessary to summarize key events, dialogue, or characters to support this analysis, avoid unnecessary plot summary. If a plot development supports a point you wish to make, a brief summary is acceptable, but remember, plot summary is no substitute for analysis.
Most of your analysis should be supported with specific, concrete examples from the text. You should also use support from outside (secondary sources) such as literary criticisms, Literary Reviews, and Literary Journals.
