Essay on short story | StudyDaddy.com

William Faulkner, “A Rose for Emily”

Ernest Hemingway, “Hills Like White Elephants”

Choose either “Hills Like White Elephants” or “A Rose for Emily” to analyze. Using close reading techniques, develop an argumentative thesis for your analysis. Write a three-four-page paper that supports your thesis. You are required to reference and use material from one secondary source in this essay. The essay should be formatted in MLA style, include a Works Cited page and an annotated bibliography. Specific instructions for the annotated bibliography portion follow. At the end of the essay, provide a Writing Process Summation by responding to the following questions.

Writing Process Summation:

  • Why did you choose this story?
  • How did you arrive at your understanding and assertion about the poem?
  • What were the points you made in this essay?
  • How did you revise this?
  • What do you want your reader to see from your essay?

You are required to reference and discuss one secondary source in this essay. An annotated bibliography of this secondary source must be included in the essay along with a Works Cited page. The essay should be formatted in MLA style and be 3-4 pages in length, not including the annotated bibliography.

Annotated Bibliography

An annotated bibliography must be added after the Works Cited page. The annotated bibliography will consist of both your primary and your secondary source.

For the secondary source, search the library catalog (a link to library resources is on the course home page), and find an article on the short story you are analyzing, or on the topic you are analyzing about that short story. Provide the MLA-formatted citation. Under that, give an annotation with the following elements:  

  • Write a summary statement of the source, followed by an in-text, parenthetical citation (author’s name).
  • Give a statement of why the article is useful in your analysis.
  • Finally, give a statement about why your reader should trust that this is an academically credible source.

The annotation for the primary source (the short story) may just be a statement that it is the primary source for this paper (Faulkner) or (Hemingway). The list of citations must in alphabetical order, according to the authors’ last names. Ex. Hemingway then Massman or Abrams then Faulkner.
