Write a character-analysis essay in which you analyze one major or minor character from any short story.

Write a character-analysis essay in which you analyze one major or minor character from any short story. What “type” of character are you analyzing?  How are language and the style/tone of the story used to formulate the character?  Is the story reflective of the character, or the character of the story? How would a reader from another country or culture potential draw different conclusions about the characters in these stories? Your response should be 4 pages.

For a successful paper:

• Have a strong thesis statement at the end of your introduction paragraph.
• Use a “hook” in the introduction paragraph to grab your readers’ attention.
• Use specific textual support from the short story in the body of your paper.
• Finish with a strong conclusion that summarizes your main points, restates the thesis in some way, and possibly returns to the initial “hook.”
• Proofread for errors in spelling, grammar, and writing mechanics. Vary sentence structure and sentence length to add interest.
• Follow APA guidelines with regard to font style, size, margins, and spacing.
• Use APA when citing the text; include a reference page citation at the end of the paper for the short story in the anthology.
