In 3-4-page essay response (750-1,000 words), explain how this story expresses a major theme through the author’s style of writing in a description of the characters, the setting, the events, and the language (choice of diction).
When describing the theme, first establish a thesis statement that shows the position you are taking and why the author chose this theme for his or her story based on your own understanding and analysis of the narrative.
Some possible themes for these stories include: marriage and love; gender distinctions of masculine and feminine roles; reality and fantasy.
Be sure to consider the historical time period in which the story was written to explain the kind of influences that colored the behavior of the characters.
