The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe.
Your 750-1250 word essay. Choose one of the short stories from the reading list and write an essay focusing on three themes, symbols, or literary devices present within the text.
The essay must be MLA styled.
- Like any five-paragraph essay, this essay will have an introduction paragraph that ends with a three-part thesis statement establishing the three main literary elements of discussion.
- The three body paragraphs will contain 8-11 sentences, and each will address in the same order the elements presented in the thesis statement. Each body paragraph should contain a topic and concluding sentence as well as transitions to help the reader move from one idea to the next.
- The concluding paragraph will restate the three main elements discussed as well as the name of the short story and author. Do not summarize the plot.
Your essay must follow the standard academic form: introduction with a "hook" and a specific thesis statement, body paragraphs that support the thesis, and a conclusion that offers final thoughts.
Primary source(s): cite the story using MLA styling. Story entries must appear on the Works Cited page. In-text parenthetical citations must be properly used in the body of the essay.
Secondary sources (Research): 2-3 sources from GALILEO and/or a reputable research source from the library such as the Literary Reference Center (Google searches, Wikipedia, Schmoop, Cliffs Notes, Lit Charts, etc. are not reputable sources). Research may not be limited to the story/stories you choose; rather it can focus on how the author uses a specific theme or literary device in his/her larger body of work. Literary criticism entries must appear on the Works Cited page. In-text parenthetical citations must be properly used in the body of the essay.
