Literary Analysis Essay Prompt
In a 1,000-1,250 (4-5 page) fiction response essay, respond to the following prompt. Your essay should be in MLA format, make use of support from the story or stories chosen (using quotation, summary and/or paraphrase) and should include citations in-text and on a Works Cited page.
Remember to avoid summarizing a story – instead, focus on answering the question(s) and explaining why the quotes and passages you’ve chosen are significant. You do not need to consult research or outside sources for this paper.
Prompt: Write an essay examining how a text (short story or poem) of your choosing makes a statement about a social issue (class, race, gender, ageism, cultural identity). What claim does the story seem to be making? How does it use literary devices to illustrate its point? Is the text speaking to a specific audience or society? How does the text show this?
Remember: Use professional writing. Do not use personal pronouns like “you”, “us”, “our”, etc. Instead, use “individuals” or “society”.
