This Essay is called the great analysis paper and it is worth 25% of my total grade so please try your best. It’s exactly what it sounds like — you’re analyzing a piece of your choosing in 1000 words, using all of the techniques I learned in the course. Chose “The Abduction by Joyce Carol Oates”. It is short only 3 pages. In general, this essay is analyzing the fiction very thoroughly. 1. Analyze the characters. How does the character show up in the beginning, middle and end of the story? Provide examples. What is this character’s purpose in advancing the story? What is motivating the character? The character’s personality, what he/she looks like?etc. 2. Talk about the plot in detail.
