Free Journal: Essay Thoughts



I have absolutely no idea what story I want to chose for my paper. I feel like there are two or three stories that stand out and I have a lot of good information for all of the stories, but not quite enough to write about just one. For a literary analysis about setting, I would choose Miss Emily's house in "A Rose for Emily". The mysterious and isolated house portrays the story in such a way that you can relate things about the house to Emily's personalitly. Like her shutting her house away from the entire town, rarely going outside of her house, this resembles her character as never wanting to open up to anyone or make any new friends after the death of her father. The other story I would consider writing about is the point of view in the story "Hills Like White Elephants". The fact that it's solely narrative and there is no outside opinions, or thoughts of the characters to clue the audience in on what the story is about, makes the story more interesting. The story is objective third person, which is where the narrator only tells what is going on the surface, simply the facts. The only information you have about this story is simply the text provided in the book. You could use expressive theory, which is when a story can be tied in with information from the autor who wrote it. The only problem I would have with writing this story is limited amount of context to support my theories.
