Write an analysis of a theme in one of the following short stories:
1. Tillie Olsen, “I Stand Here Ironing”
2. Amy Tan, “Two Kinds”
3. Alice Walker, “Everyday Use”
4. Raymond Carver, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love”
See the discussion of theme in Making Literature Matter. Your thesis should reflect three points
(aspects of theme) that you are going to focus on in your paper. Another approach to thematic
analysis is to illustrate three methods by which an author develops a theme.
Quoting:
Quote liberally from the short story (citing in-text, MLA style). Look up how to quote short
prose passages, as well as how to block longer passages of prose. Remember to introduce each
quote with an independent clause (followed by a colon); the introduction to a quote provides
you with an opportunity to state an opinion and make clear why the quote is significant.
You will need a works cited page (MLA format), in which you cite the short story.
You are to use only ONE source for this paper—the short story itself
