A literary analysis explaining the significance of a single passage, scene, or episode in relation to the whole of one of the works of literature (or excerpts) from the course. Talk about the whole work, but focus on the one passage, scene, or episode to get at that.

To be clear:

1. You are not looking for a "lesson" to learn from this story. Some of these literary works provide easy ways to try to give an essay sermon to the reader, but that is not our purpose. Here, we only want to look at the story itself. If you start writing about anything not directly related to the story, then you are getting off topic.

2. You are not trying to agree, disagree, applaud, condemn, or make any value judgments on the text.

3. You simply need to pick  one scene or passage from your chosen work. Then you need to explain how that one scene or passage impacts the whole work. Why is it important to the story? You might even consider how the story would be different if that scene was missing.

You should refer to the story, and cite the text. You should write your paper in MLA format. 

If you do not understand the above, then please reach out to me, so that I can clarify the assignment for you.

Please do not depend on outside resources except the Bible, if you choose to use it.  This should be your own close reading of the work of literature.

Explanation.  One of the foundational skills in reading literature is reading a text closely and drawing meaning from that reading.  For this reason, this essay will allow you to engage deeply with a particular text.  A close reading of a text "unfolds" the text, explains in detail how the work communicates to the reader. Such a reading will require you to understand all aspects of the work and to have a grasp of the meaning of individual parts of the work in relation to the entire work. You are not, however, striving to be exhaustive in your "explanation," but rather you should strive to be selective in considering only those details that are significant to your own thematic understanding of the piece of literature.
