Short Story Character Analysis Essay

Assignment:

Write an essay (500-600 words) which analyzes one of the characters listed below from a short story we have read in this course. Your essay will answer this question: What three major personality traits does the character exhibit within the short story? Your paper will point out and explain three qualities that significantly define who this fictional person is. The essay should provide evidence from the story to prove or illustrate your thesis.

Choose ONE of these characters for your character analysis

• • Jackie or Nora in “First Confession”
• • Jig or the American in “Hills Like White Elephants”
• • The grandmother or the Misfit in “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”
• • Emily Grierson in “A Rose for Emily”
• • Mathilde or Loisel in “The Necklace”
• • Elisa Allen or the tinker in “The Chrysanthemums”
• • Sammy, Queenie, or Lengel in “A & P”
• • The narrator in “Araby”
• • Tessie Hutchinson in “The Lottery”

I am interested in your personal (but reasonable) analysis of a character based on the evidence in the short story, not what other critics have said. Therefore, do not do any research for this essay other than to review the PowerPoint that relates to your story, if you wish. If you include any ideas from my PowerPoint in your essay, you must be sure to cite those ideas properly within the paper and list the PowerPoint on your Works Cited page.

Requirements of the Character Analysis Essay:

• • The essay will present a thesis statement in the introduction, and the body paragraphs of the essay should provide evidence from the story to prove or illustrate your thesis.
• • The essay must contain at least four direct quotations from the short story itself.
• • The essay may use my PowerPoint notes for the story as a source. Do not use any other sources for this essay besides the short story itself and possibly the PowerPoint.
• • Use MLA 8^th ed. (2016) format and documentation style for this research paper, with in-text parenthetical citations and a works cited page.
• • The last page of the paper will be a Works Cited page, which lists the short story as your primary source, and possibly my PowerPoint as a secondary source, if you quote, paraphrase, or summarize from it.
• • Similarity report when you submit the paper in TURNITIN should be no higher than 40%. The paper should be 500-600 words, not including the works cited page.
