A critical analysis of approximately 1,200-1,500 words on one or more of the short stories in your text. Your critical analysis could be a comparison/contrast of several stories or a detailed analysis of one short story. In your analysis, you will consider how one or more of the elements of fiction (plot, setting, point of view, characterization, tone, irony, symbol) contribute to the meaning (theme) of the story. Observe MLA style when formatting and citing. At least one reliable secondary source will be required.
