Short Fiction

To complete this assignment, first choose a short story or novel to work with; this can be a favorite story or novel or just one that you are intrigued by. Each paragraph in this essay will contain a different rhetorical pattern in support of the essay’s overall purpose: to demonstrate your understanding, analysis, and interpretation of a text. The essay does not have a separate introduction or conclusion because these are inherently included in the sections. Each paragraph should be well-developed, containing opinion, support from the text, and commentary. By combining the six paragraphs, the writer will form a complete essay between two and four pages.
