1) The reading
2) The literary element you chose for each reading
3) Analyze why you felt the literary element was used successfully for each reading giving two in text examples for each reading. Use this model: the what, the why and the how.

Explore how Stephen King uses Sports for literary purposes in “Apt Pupil”, “Rita Hayworth”, and “Shawshank Redemption”. 
“Literary purposes” include describing setting, creating atmosphere, developing plot (setting forces or people in opposition, building suspense, and resolving conflict), portraying character (moral, personality, and physical traits), and communicating theme (making a meaningful statement about human life in the world). For example, the cat that Dussander captures communicates the theme that giving into temptation has consequences; the comparison of Dussander to a vulture portrays the predatory aspect of his personality.
Your topic may appear literally in the text (for example, Dussander captures a literal cat), or it may appear figuratively (for example, Dussander is compared to a vulture). Both literal and figurative appearances of your topic may serve literary purposes.
If you find only a few passages on your topic in the novellas, you may wish to talk about all these passages; you will likely end up showing that your topic is used for several different literary purposes. However, if your topic appears frequently, you may want to select only the passages in which your topic is used for a single purpose, such as portraying character. 
Draw on at least four peer-reviewed articles or book chapters in your essay. Not much has been written about these novellas; when you look for sources, look for material about your topic instead of about the novellas. Relate what you find in peer-reviewed articles in the field you select — law enforcement, sports, food, fashion, media, education (to name some examples) — to what you find in the novellas. 
Include at least one quotation in each body paragraph. Do not use quotations to summarize. Do not quote a passage unless you plan to follow it with an interpretation of it. 
Introduce each quotation with your own words in the same sentence. Do not let a quotation stand alone as its own sentence. 
Include a parenthetical reference at the end of any sentence that contains a quotation or a paraphrase from a source. 
Append a Works Cited page in MLA format to the end of your essay. Include the two novellas and all of your secondary sources on this page. Do not include any sources you do not quote or paraphrase in your essay.

RESPOND
In an “essay-looking” post, please post a rough draft of your Short Fiction Analysis Essay for peer review. The version of this assignment that you will submit for a grade, will need to be formatted in APA style, including a title page and include a reference page that indicates the story you selected, but this is not a requirement for the rough draft you’ll post in this week’s discussion. No research is required, but if you include information that is not from your own mind and creation (that is, you consulted another source or a website or something similar), then you must make clear what information in your draft came from the source you found. In your draft, you should make the following moves, each in its own paragraph. The reader’s journal assignments you did in previous weeks.
Introduce the author’s full name and the name of the story. (Short story titles should be in quotes.) Provide a short summary of the story and identify the structural elements of the story’s plot (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution) to situate your readers and to give them context.
Discuss the literary elements of the story, using evidence in the form of direct quotes from the story for support. The literary elements you should discuss are setting, narrative point of view, narrator type, characterization, symbolism, foreshadowing, and irony. (As you work on your essay, this area might be divided into several paragraphs.) 
Articulate the theme of the story. What unified message do all of the literary elements in the story that you’ve identified point to or work in support of? After looking closely at all the literary elements of the story, what message(s) are you left with? What might the author of the story want readers to think, know, or do after reading the story?
Close by telling your readers what about the story you found most compelling and why. What surprised or intrigued you? What stayed in your mind after you put the story down? What did the story help you to see more clearly or appreciate more fully? Why is this important for your readers?
