    Write an analytical essay of about 600-700 words that analyses and interprets Ray Bradbury’s short story “Lawns of Summer” (attached). The essay must include the five elements below. Remember to make references to the text if you quote directly: “bla bla bla bla” (p. 14, ll. 2-4)
    1. Write a paragraph that introduces the overall theme of the story (what can you say generally about the type of situation that it deals with?). Furthermore, this introduction should connect the theme to the story. You must also present the story formally with title and writer. Remember that a short story title should appear in quotation marks.
    2. Write a paragraph that characterizes the grandfather. Find inspiration in the toolbox in the back of your textbook, page 244, where it says “How to read a short story”. 
    3. Write another paragraph that characterizes Tom.
    4. Write a third paragraph where you focus on an element of your choice (elements that you also find in the toolbox), e.g. setting, language, style, title, narration, structure, composition, mood, tone etc. Again, find inspiration in the toolbox.
    5. Put the relationship between Tom and his grandfather into perspective with an experience from EITHER your personal life OR what you have heard or read about similar relationships (for example Peter Parker’s relationship with his uncle Ben in Spider-Man). Here, you shoujld also return to the theme(s) of the short story and make a conclusion to your essay.
    Tips:
    Do not use subheadings
    Instead, begin each paragraph with a topic sentence, which tells the reader what the paragraph should be about.

While you’re free to reuse the material you explored for the close reading and exploratory essay, make sure to avoid self-plagiarism: this means do not copy-paste from these past assignments, but show that you’ve carefully thought about how you will tie your “old” observations with the overall argument of the paper.

    Your paper will be graded for its insight, content, coherence, and style. It is necessary to avoid typos and quote and cite accurately to receive full points.  The paper must include a bibliography. Citations can follow MLA or Chicago, as long as you’re consistent.  You can  reschedule an appointment with the librarian or with me for more guidance on how to find sources if you’re looking for more.
