  4. The work will be due at the end of class Monday. If you do not make what you feel is satisfactory progress today, you may wish to collaborate on it outside of class…… • Or if you know you will be gone one of the two days, figure out a way to make a sufficient contribution to the work. • IF you are gone both Friday and Monday, you must do the assignment on your own.

  5. A different approach to essays today • There will be no prompt other than “write an essay analyzing The Road.” You must conjure a thesis worthy of writing about the book. • Interpretations are developed by an in-depth examination of a text. An interpretation will be the thesis of your paper.

  6. Literary Critical Analysis Essay • A literary critical analysis explains a work of fiction, poetry or drama by means of interpretations. The goal of a literary analysis (as with any other analysis) is to broaden and deepen your understanding of a work of literature.

  7. An analytical paper breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience through explanation and examples. Examining the different elements of a piece of literature is not an end in itself but rather a process to help youand your reader better appreciate and understand the work of literature as a whole. • Because an interpretation must be supported, the strength or weakness of your interpretation rests on the strength or weakness of your argument. In other words, you must organize a discussion that convinces the reader that your point of view is astute.

  8. Technique/outline to support thesis • Take out your list of quotations with your observations, your WTJ notes, your book. • Share your ideas with your group/partner, then work together to create a meaningful thesis statement and an outline for an essay for a paper analyzing the novel. (You may wish to literally “share” with rights to “view” with your groupmates.) • Your thesis should address a meaning of the work as a whole in some fashion.

  9. Look at all your textual evidence you collected and quickly review it. You may notice categories within the quotes in order to support a thesis in multiple ways.  Once you have some "categories" and set aside duplicates, you may be able to sketch out create topic sentences. Topic sentences should relate technique to effect and meaning. You may wish to write your thesis after this step. It may be a recursive process. Technique/outline to support thesis
