The Assignment

Lets take a look at it

What is a literary essay ?

A literary essay is really an analysis of a literary work, in this case: our book Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.

It is not merely a summary. Instead, it is an argument about the work that expresses a writer's (that's you guys) personal perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation of the book.

It is not merely a summary. Instead, it is an argument about the work that expresses a reader's (that's you guys) personal perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation of the book.

How should a literary essay look?

It should have these 3 elements:

1. An introduction that tells the reader what your essay will focus on.

2. A main body, divided into paragraphs, that builds an argument using evidence from the text.

3. A conclusion that clearly states the main point that you have shown with your analysis.

Which essay assignment are you going for?

1: Characters & isolation (HV)

2. Meet the Blacks (HV)

3. Oskar's emotional opposites (HV/VWO)

4. Oskar's learning curve(HV/VWO)
