Title __________________________________________ Chapter/Section # ________
In preparation for our discussions, choose one
significant passage to analyze in writing using one of the
following options. Your mini essay should be no shorter than 250 words. Begin with a strong thesis and
develop your ideas with evidence from the text. Evidence can come from elsewhere in the
story/chapter/book. In fact, thinking more broadly about the significance of your passage can help you think
about why it is important or the effect is has on the work as a whole.
The “other element option” will be given by your teacher if one exists, and may include things such as
magical realism, stream of consciousness, frame, foil character, or any others your teacher selects. Use the
directions for number one with any other element.
Record the page number(s) and the actual beginning and end of passage in the space below, using . . . to
indicate any section left out in the middle. These sheets are worth 20 points. You will do up to three of these
analyses per work, depending on your teacher’s direction. Using annotated sticky notes in your book as you
read may help you remember important or significant passages. This assignment is due on the day we
discuss the story/scheduled section. Late assignments are accepted only
if you are absent on discussion
day. Use black ink and your best cursive script. There is more room to write on the back of this sheet.
Options:
1. Point out and comment on (analyze) the effect
of one literary element: figurative language; tone;
imagery, diction; syntax, etc. Be explicit about the effect.
2. Discuss the significance of the passage regarding one of the book’s main themes (which you will
have to state directly). You will probably be referring to literary elements as well here.
3. Other Element Option: _________________________________________________________
