Compare 2 SHORT STORIES. You will need to narrow the focus significantly, and do a fair comparison. For example, you could compare two (2) protagonists, or the settings and conflicts in two (2) stories, or the way the same theme plays out differently in two (2) stories. Remember to include at least three (3) literary elements and include your Literary LENS.
you MUST look for three (3) literary elements – [EXAMPLE: conflict, symbolism, personification, theme, imagery, setting, characterization, etc. ] – and how they are present in the text(s). This sort of focus will help you go BEYOND PLOT SUMMARY; your Literary Essay will not be a plot summary.
Also, choose ONE Critical Lens (Literary Theory) perspective (e.g., Feminist, Marxist, Psychological and Psychoanalytic, New Historicism, or Formalism ).
