Step 1: Review the prompt.
Layers of meaning exist in all works of literary fiction. Consider the ways the author of your selected short story used style and literary elements, like plot, diction, syntax, figurative language, character, conflict, and setting. Compose an essay in which you analyze and explain how the author’s style and employment of literary elements ” create a” particular mood in the text.
Step 2: Outline your essay using the chart below. Begin with your thesis statement, and then fill out the outline based on your thesis. You may or may not use each section, but provide as much information as possible in the planning stage.
