Choose one of the three stories covered in class and write a paper analyzing the story in reference to the utopian vision discussed in the story.
Determine whether there is a real-world issue identified in the story – analysis of the story, however, will remain primary in any case.
If you choose to use a story not on the list, get it approved by me first.
FrameworkIntroduction:
An attention-getting introduction to your story, which presents the title, author, and theme. Limit actual summary of the story to 1-2 sentences.
A clear thesis statement explaining what your analysis will prove about the story. This should be more that “it’s a good story” or that “the story has a twist ending.” Make a claim about the story, something worth proving and requiring evidence to support and further explain it. Use the HATMAT approach to ensure all necessary information is included in the introduction: Hook, Author, Title, Main characters, A short summary, Thesis.
Body:
DO NOT summarize the story – explain why details you point out are important to your larger point.
Use examples and evidence from the story itself. In using quotes/summaries/paraphrases: a) introduce it, b) use it and correctly cite it using MLA style, and c) analyze/comment on it.
Provide details and description of the story’s literary elements – theme, plot, setting, structure, characters, genre, style, tone, etc. – to support your analysis.
Some suggestions:
Conduct and include research (3 secondary sources, 2 of them from the CPCC Library) to support your ideas. Do not simply copy previous criticisms and analyses of the story – connect the research to your main idea; you can also agree or disagree with what others have stated.
Conclusion:
An effective conclusion that restates your thesis and evidence from the story, with a strong concluding statement.
