Answer 4

okay, so tell us what do you need to include in your analysis. Saying literary analysis is very vague to me because different places have different things that should be included in it. What kind of format do you need with your analysis? essay format or just an outline form?
what have you done so far?
Do you need to include any of the following:
-finding literary devices
-plot analysis ?

Answer 5

A routine assignment for students in literature and composition classes is to write a literary analysis. In writing an analysis, students discuss a work of fiction or poetry in terms of one or more elements of the work. For example, a story may be analyzed: • in terms of the importance that setting plays to the story; • in terms of a particular problem it presents to the reader; • in terms of specific symbolism in the work; • or in terms of a character’s or an event’s role in the story.
A common approach is to analyze a work's main idea or one of its main ideas. In doing this sort of analysis, one should keep in mind that the main ideas in poems, short stories, plays, and novels are rarely stated. Instead, the reader has to infer from the work itself what the idea or ideas are. The reader must ask, "What is this story about?" "What is the author trying to say?" "What point is the author making about society or the individual or war or love or freedom or religion or whatever?"
In analyzing a story for its main idea, a student first assume that the writer does indeed have a point to make or something to communicate to the reader. The student will ask what that point is, with the answer serving as the basis for an analysis of the main idea. For example, in "Little Red Riding Hood," the main point might be that it is dangerous to be inexperienced, since Red gets into a deadly situation as a result of her inexperience with forest travel. The main idea could just as easily be that one should trust one's first impressions, since Red is at first frightened and wary of the wolf but later is fooled into complacency. Once the main idea of the work is revealed (the thesis), the student must assemble evidence to support the assertion. The student must tell the reader what passages or words or events in the story or poem have led to the main idea. As evidence for the thesis is revealed, the student will need to quote passages from the work. Students are to make certain that the quotes are thoroughly explained and smoothly integrated into the paper.
Below are some prompts that students might use in writing the literary analysis of The Call of the Wild.
Prompts:
A student may select one of the prompts below as the focus for the literary analysis, or a student may create his or her own prompt.
