paragraph analysis
Write a clearly and persuasively argued, well-organized essay of roughly 5-6 paragraphs (750 words) analyzing the literary selection provided here. This is a closed-book examination, meaning you are forbidden to consult any sources or seek assistance for your work. External information such as author name or work title is not required. Essay should 1. Identify and discuss important details in the passage’s craft/formal techniques (for example, point-of-view, setting, selection and order of details) and 2. Use these details to provide a convincing interpretation of how the overall meaning of the passage is conveyed. A successful essay MUST use the text as evidence in direct quotation to support the argument for interpretation made.
