**the two children’s books are attatched in files below**
Your last assignment is to bring together what we’ve done over the semester into EITHER a Literary Analysis Essay or a Creative Response.
The Literary Analysis (5-7 pages plus Works Cited page) requires you to use academic essays, educational videos or literary book reviews IN ADDITION to children’s book(s) to support your theme and thesis statement.
***THE TOPICS I WANT TO FOCUS ON IS “COMPASSION AND HUMOR” FOR THIS ESSAY***
Your literary essay is your interpretation and documented analysis of a particular text. It is supported by documentation from primary and secondary sources. To write the essay, you should explore the themes, language, and characters in the text. You should reflect on the writer’s point of view, what the text reveals to children about the society we live in, and what the text reveals about human nature and literacy. You should then decide how these ideas could be used to construct a thesis about the text EVALUATING HOW THE AUTHOR USED AT LEAST 3 LITERARY DEVICES TO PRESENT A THEME (SEE VOCAB LIST BELOW). Your thesis will serve as your guiding point for developing an outline and composing your paper. Make sure you revise and edit your paper for content, documentation, style, grammar, and sentence structure.
All literary essays must follow MLA style of documentation. Papers should be approximately five double-spaced pages and should have the following structure: (1) an introduction, stating the purpose of the essay or the problem to be addressed in the essay, the rationale for the topic, and the literary text(s) and/or author(s) on which the essay will focus; (2) a main section, with at least three key points, clearly marshaled and illustrated with reference to the chosen text(s) and relevant secondary, critical sources; (3) a concluding section, summing up the key points of the essay and calling attention to the main thrust of its argument, and (4) Correct in-text citation and Works Cited page or, presented in strict adherence to the MLA style of documentation.
Please note that a Works Cited page is obligatory and you are required to make use of no less than two secondary sources in addition to the main text.
