Short Story Analysis Essay Lecture Notes and Crieria

Assignment Description:

In this assignment you will select one of the two short stories indicated in the course calendar and provide an analysis of that short story.

When you develop your theme (meaning) remember to connect it to one of three things:

 Human Nature  Society  Culture

Do not give me a “one word” theme such as, “The theme of The Jilting of granny Weatherall is bitterness.” Immediately, I will ask, “so what?” What about bitterness relates to human nature, society, or culture? Do not develop a “summary theme” such as, “Young Goodman Brown is about a guy who loses his faith in God.” Once you have developed a theme, decide what three elements of fiction the author….

1. The paper must be written in MLA format. If this is not done you will lose points.

2. Each paper must be 650 – 750 words.

3. Outside sources are not required – just use the text that you are responding to.

4. Writing must be formal language with correct spelling and punctuation.

5. Each paper must take one idea/topic from the text and write about it – do not summarize.

6. When composing your paper think of the following: What is the one new thing that you have learned? Or it could be the one thing that disturbed you the most. How does the learning of that one thing challenge your prior ideas (or support them)? And how does learning this affect your view of the world around you?

7. Remember:….

3)  In “Fifth Avenue, Uptown,” where is the thesis statement?  That is, what is the main point and where is it?  Do you think that its position in the essay is effective?  Should it be more or less clearly stated?

Based on my own learning experience, I found that some online communication apps or tools like Messager (Facebook) and WeChat are useful and effective for learners to use to interact with each other, share ideas with each other, and engage in active learning experience. The functions of Messager and WeChat are very similar, but they are popular for different groups of people. Compared with using Facebook, most Chinese learners prefer to use WeChat as their daily communication and digital learning tool.

In my opinion, the kinds of digital communication and learning tools are important and useful because they provides a quiet and privacy platform for users to communicate, discuss questions, and share ideas with their peers, instructors, and other people in the world. From the “user interface”, I felt that some….
