Hi Darlene,
You are off to a good start here! There is always a bit of a learning curve when acquiring the skills and knowledge to do a literary analysis. The "Eight Steps to Writing a Literary Analysis" guide is immensely helpful, and I would suggest using the provided checklist to make sure you are on the right track. For formatting issues, I would suggest looking at the way sample APA papers are set up on the Purdue Owl website: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01
The Writing Center should also be able to help you figure out if you are meeting expectations for these written assignments.
Best wishes as you move on to the next steps!
