Write a 4–6-page analysis of one of the following texts:
“The Story of an Hour”
“The Black Cat”
“The Raven”
“Recitatif”
“A Rose for Emily”
“The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket”

Your analysis can be on anything you wish to write about, but if you are having trouble deciding on a topic, here are some questions to generate ideas:
What is the theme of the story? How is the setting/character development/plot/subplot connected to that theme?
What is the significance of the title of the story?
What makes the protagonist sympathetic or unsympathetic?
What are the symbols in the story?
Does the book address broader social issues? Does the author take a stance on, for example, anarchy versus capitalism? How is a particular culture or subculture portrayed?
How does race function in the text?
How are gender roles depicted in the text?
What is the role of religion in the text?
