Now that you have observed the attributes of the characters in the short stories A&P and Greasy Lake, write a character-analysis essay in which you analyze one
major or minor character from any short story in Chapter 21: Fiction for further reading. Use specific language from Chapters 14 and 17 when crafting your analysis.
What type of character are you analyzing? How are language and the style/tone of the story used to formulate the character? Is the story reflective of the
character, or the character of the story? How would a reader from another country or culture potential draw different conclusions about the characters in these
stories? Your response should be 3-4 pages.
For a successful paper:
Have a strong thesis statement at the end of your introduction paragraph.
Use a hook in the introduction paragraph to grab your readers attention.
Use specific textual support from the short story in the body of your paper.
Finish with a strong conclusion that summarizes your main points, restates the thesis in some way, and possibly returns to the initial hook.
Proofread for errors in spelling, grammar, and writing mechanics. Vary sentence structure and sentence length to add interest.
Follow APA guidelines with regard to font style, size, margins, and spacing. APA Requirements.
Use APA when citing the text; include a reference page citation at the end of the paper for the short story in the anthology. APA Requirements(used for this class).
