Individual Assignment: Fiction and the Business Lesson Paper

One of fiction's many goals is to entertain. However, stories may also teach a lesson, and stories set in the business world may teach lessons about business even when they do not intend to do so.

• Resources: Assigned readings, ERRs, the Internet, and other sources

• Select one or more stories from your textbooks.

• Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper explaining how the entertainment elements of the story relate to the lesson or lessons it teaches the reader.

Some elements of fiction you may want to analyze as you discuss its entertainment value are the plot, the relationship between plot and character, the style in which the story is told, the point of view from which the story is told, and how the story is structured to produce tension and heighten reader interest. Be specific about the lesson or lessons taught. Make sure you discuss how the lesson is communicated and whether or not the lessons learned by the characters are the same as that learned by the story's readers.

• Format your paper according to APA standards.
