\nand discussion. In other words, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate that you understand
\nthe shaping devices of fiction and how various authors use them to create their stories. What stories\/ ideas\/characters have interested you most in the works we have read in this part of the
\nsemester? develop an essay of between 5-7 pages in which you develop a thesis about why that specific thing was so interesting, stimulating, thought-provoking. Did a particular work change your way of thinking about something in particular? What was it and how did it change your thinking? What was the most upsetting or
\ndistasteful idea or character you read about? Analyze why.

\nBe sure your essay has a thesis sentence. Underline it.
\nYou must write about more than one author. One can be a poet and the other a short story writer
\nor both can work in the same genre.
\nDo NOT summarize the stories or poems. Your reader has read them.
