Module Reflective Writing Assignment
This week, you will write a thesis statement that could be used to lead a four-to-five-page fiction analysis essay over the narrator. Remember that a thesis statement is also a roadmap sentence, informing your reader of your intention and direction with the paper. For this thesis practice, choose a short story we've read during this unit and consider its use of narration. Write a thesis statement that includes: (1) the author's name, (2) the story's title, and (3) an arguable, supportable claim regarding the narration of the story. Your claim should emphasize how the narrative structure create or reinforce meaning in the story (what purpose does it serve?). Does the story have an reliable/unreliable narrator? How do you know (how will you support yourself)? For example:
Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" allows the reader to taste madness through an unreliable narrator and a setting that increases in confinement.
You should avoid:
· Copy / pasting from other submissions
· Focusing on a previous week's readings only (you can connect this week to a previous week, though)
· Unprofessional discourse
· Conversational language (you, I, etc.)
