From The Old Man & The Sea, select one issue (theme, series of diction or language choices, symbolic episode, characterization, narration, tonal quality, idea, intriguing question or illuminating moment, etc.) and put forth a strong, specific, evidence-based, well-reasoned, and logically organized argument that interprets this issue. It can be directly related to our course thematics, but also certainly does not have to be, whatsoever. Pick a topic or subject matter that interests you. For instance, how is a specific moment or character or trope represented or used in a text? In what ways does this issue show up in the text, and why does the author choose to do so? What is our author trying to communicate, how is he/she expressing these idea(s), and why are these decisions made by the author and for what purposes? Why is this ultimately important to our understanding of the text as a whole or in particular? How, and why, does this interpretation push us in a new direction that is unique or innovative or complex? In your thesis, you are always answering the WHAT, HOW, & WHY questions in a single claim and using the rest of the essay to make your well-reasoned, evidence-based, logically coherent, and complicated case. But here is the key: keep your thesis to a very, very specific issue in a single text, in terms of scope. Do not go too broad on this essay. It is always better to engage with a particular matter in a text versus a whole bunch of topics all at once. Stay narrow, and highly concrete!

Stick much close to reading and interpreting the textual evidence itself that you cite rather than tending to fall back more on plot synopsis or generic ideas that, while insightful, do not attend to the language and diction Hemmingway’s using in the passage or excerpt you use. This will strengthen your analysis in the process.
