Remember, a Plot Analysis examines the conflict(s) found in the plot and its developments. A listing of the plot points, not a detailed plot summary, may be an appropriate way to justify a statement, but a discussion of the conflict and plot development and its overall conclusion may be better. Look for central symbols, ironies, or characters that embody the plot and its ultimate purpose. Be sure to check every statement for relevance.
